Sevenload.com Problem with IE JW Player

Yes, I have same problem and dont have any solution (after 36 hours of work !) !!!

Help, help

 
They're probably checking the referer.

Firefox/Flash doesn't send a referer.

Hey lost, Ye i thought this too, But when I checked for refere with HTTP_REFERER in php, Both IE and firefox show nothing.

So Im myself not even sure if its referer

O and btw LOST

Last time me and u was talking about another problem, and u tried some solutions for me, it was about the 16.9 ratio, I found a working solution where I didnt have to reupload and add PAR to each video, I can post the fix for you if u was interested.

But anyway, Lets keep it about sevenload in this thread.

ANd about referer checking, Its possible to blank referer with html, by meta refresh, but if it is the case of blank referer, wouldnt we have to write the blank referer script in flash language?

Thanks again, in advance

 
sevenload works with everything but IE, so I'm pretty sure that they are checking the referer.

'course, it could be just one more IE failure?

Yeah, I'd be interested in the fix for 16:9. Thanks.

Hey lost, Sure, herers the fix, Credit to Micheal Griffin
I thought there must of been a way to do this and he did it.

Basically, when you first compile your player, Look for the Stretcher.as file and add this custom script to create a new variable

/** Stretches the clip to fit the widescreen format. **/
public static var WIDESCREEN:String = "widescreen";

case 'widescreen':
clp.width = wid;
clp.height = (wid/16)*9;
break;

In that file theres a few other default settings like fullscreen etc.

But anyway, back ontopic, Boris, Im gona have ago at trying to get the sevenload.flvs to work 2nite, If you manage, Please give me some ideas in this thread.
Il do the same if I succeed

Thanks! guys

hey guys i have same problem and i sended a message to sevenload support@sevenload.com they dont replied my message yet. you can send message to sevenload than write here.

To the Above poster, If you send a message to sevenload, They will not fix the problem, They did it ON PURPOSE lol...

Your not supposed to use the .flv.

Becus u send them this problem, Now maybe they will make the problem for firefox too

 
The MP4 versions of the files seem to work fine in Internet Explorer. Just grab the URI out of the XML config file.

Be sure that you use type=http for their lighttpd server so you can scrub.

Hey lost

I have had a look at tehre xml now, Which they also check the referer on, But I managed to just use firebug to change one of there links on sevenload.com so the browser sends the referer, But, I cant find no MP4 file.

I did try to change the file extention of a flv direct link, But I kinda new that wasnt gona work before I even did it.

Could you pointme in the right direction to the xml your refrering to?

Thanks,

The xml doc im finding, is located in the div class videoPlayerWrapper

Is that the same as urs?

Thanks in advance

 
Look for:

Then the configPath will return the XML file:

The XML will have two location elements if it's HD. The second element will have the MP4 file.

 
You can use this littls snip of PHP to do the 302 Redirect.

// call with:  http://www.domain.com/path/sevenload_redirect.php?uri=http://en.sevenload.com/videos/VnUeUWW-Drunk-TV-presenter

$uri = isset($_GET['uri']) ? strval($_GET['uri']) : 'http://en.sevenload.com/videos/VnUeUWW-Drunk-TV-presenter';

$config = getConfig($uri);
//echo 'configPath: ' . $config;

$videoURI = getVideoURI($config);
//echo '<br />videoURI: ' . $videoURI->item(0)->nodeValue;
//echo '<br />videoURI: ' . $videoURI->item(1)->nodeValue;
//exit;

if($videoURI->item(1)->nodeValue) // MP4
{
  header("Location: " . $videoURI->item(1)->nodeValue);
}
else // FLV
{
  header("Location: " . $videoURI->item(0)->nodeValue);
}

exit;

function getVideoURI($config)
{
  $dom = new DOMDocument();
  $dom->load($config);
  $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;

//echo $dom->saveXML();

  $locations = $dom->getElementsByTagName('location');

  return $locations;
}

function getConfig($uri)
{
  $dom = new DOMDocument();
  $dom->loadHTMLFile($uri);
  $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;

  $xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
  $params = $xpath->evaluate("/html/body//param");

  foreach ($params as $param)
  {
    if((strstr($param->getAttribute('value'), 'configPath=')) !== false)
    {
    //echo 'configPath: ' . rawurldecode(str_ireplace('configPath=', '', $param->getAttribute('value')));

      return rawurldecode(str_ireplace('configPath=', '', $param->getAttribute('value')));
    }
  }
}

?>

Reference it in your player code like this:

But you can't scrub ahead of the download because of the 302 Redirect.

Or you can uncomment the two echos and the exit and then call the PHP in your browser to get the URIs. Then you can scrub ahead of the download.

Hey lost

THanks for the very detailed answer
Unfortunatly I will have to look for another way to blank the referer in flash, as all my videos arent in HD, Therefore no mp4

Thanks alot for your reply though. I appreciate it.

any gotta a fix for this? it seems if i just use the link to flv in the addrres bar..then download works...but if i use it with jw player ...it doesnt even try to load....and gives the not working error...

nanan

The problem is.

IE Send Referrer : Player.Swf
FF Send Referrer : NO REFERRER

When you put into address bar, Referrer = NO REFERRER (Because you typed it)

If somebody knows how to blank referrer or hide it, The problem can be solved

very weird the video shows up in fire fox but not on IE
man im such a noob scripter
anybody has any ideas wher ei cna learn moar of this stuff?
thanks

@lon3er - please post to the setup problems forum (http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forum/Setup-Problems/) with a description of your problem and a link to the page demonstrating the error.

@everyone: The difference in the referrer between IE and Firefox is a known issue and there's currently no way to update it. Sorry!
