Also im limit streem speed to 350kb/s ...
So php is maybe good option , but maybe little slow when you seek video... |
That looks like the correct approach...I am curious to know what you are doing after the authentication though as PHP shouldn't be limiting your streaming speed at all.
The best way to do it is to do your authentication before you print any HTTP headers, then use the "location" directive to redirect the HTTP request to the appropriate video file. This will all be seamless to the user and the only bandwidth limitation will be your server/ISP.
PHP is just the middle-man in the request - it authenticates and redirects accordingly.
