Thank you. I find this in your source code. So this confirms that "video.mp4" is being served properly in this case. However, you might take a look at the content filters enabled on your WordPress installation. It looks like WordPress is adding in some

tags via the wpautop content filter. I would suggest this plugin for you. See: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/raw-html/

Code:: <div style="background-repeat: no-repeat;"><div id="jw-container">JW Player® appears here.div> <p><script type="text/javascript" src="/jwplayer/jwplayer.js"> jwplayer("jw-container").setup({modes: /* JW Player®. */ [ /* First try real-time streaming with Flash® player. */ {type: "flash", provider: "rtmp", src: "/jwplayer/player.swf", config: {streamer: "rtmp://sx2kg2pfwt7yi.cloudfront.net/cfx/st", file: "video.mp4?Policy=eyJTdGF0ZW1lbnQiOlt7IlJlc291cmNlIjoidmlkZW8ubXA0IiwiQ29uZGl0aW9uIjp7IklwQWRkcmVzcyI6eyJBV1M6U291cmNlSXAiOiIxNjYuMjUwLjY1LjM3LzMyIn0sIkRhdGVMZXNzVGhhbiI6eyJBV1M6RXBvY2hUaW1lIjoxMzI3MDgyMTc1fX19XX0_&Signature=mZZ5WQ54xFQExuuqL8~wX7tZqU33cZ9tUwdEmj4b7eRySZtBBEEK0evAvCorodsEizdG0Q6S3L1nd4YeD19XK5Ipe2u~UbQcEMUxpw5CkZ5V-VtH85P0a4UCPwnBo0vP2xM-n7KugIUrsRwFQp9MGIIuFVP3dfbUaIlvme02-d8_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIJSTEXVC4PFGE2NA"}}, /* Else, try an HTML5 video tag. */ {type: "html5", provider: "video", config: {file: "http://d15q0sklvx3bb5.cloudfront.net/video.mp4?Policy=eyJTdGF0ZW1lbnQiOlt7IlJlc291cmNlIjoiaHR0cDovL2QxNXEwc2tsdngzYmI1LmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3ZpZGVvLm1wNCIsIkNvbmRpdGlvbiI6eyJJcEFkZHJlc3MiOnsiQVdTOlNvdXJjZUlwIjoiMTY2LjI1MC42NS4zNy8zMiJ9LCJEYXRlTGVzc1RoYW4iOnsiQVdTOkVwb2NoVGltZSI6MTMyNzA4MjE3NX19fV19&Signature=qO68Ey2uNcHGMCofqbS6Pe24lLYvPsGkU5YZXq~CFfRYCC5Wr0Kv2LzeUFxopuvEo8X8Plsmvl59UJNfd93Azhowl5fJZ8esg-f-pNJTdQ~H19M-3J3ES4nKHaKQbluLsApigSZ5tymkPtDUtKs1iS~FgMq0x9DXrYyqUV5NG-M_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIJSTEXVC4PFGE2NA"}}, /* Else, this is a safe fallback. */ {type: "download", /* Download the file. */ config: {file: "http://d15q0sklvx3bb5.cloudfront.net/video.mp4?Policy=eyJTdGF0ZW1lbnQiOlt7IlJlc291cmNlIjoiaHR0cDovL2QxNXEwc2tsdngzYmI1LmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3ZpZGVvLm1wNCIsIkNvbmRpdGlvbiI6eyJJcEFkZHJlc3MiOnsiQVdTOlNvdXJjZUlwIjoiMTY2LjI1MC42NS4zNy8zMiJ9LCJEYXRlTGVzc1RoYW4iOnsiQVdTOkVwb2NoVGltZSI6MTMyNzA4MjE3NX19fV19&Signature=qO68Ey2uNcHGMCofqbS6Pe24lLYvPsGkU5YZXq~CFfRYCC5Wr0Kv2LzeUFxopuvEo8X8Plsmvl59UJNfd93Azhowl5fJZ8esg-f-pNJTdQ~H19M-3J3ES4nKHaKQbluLsApigSZ5tymkPtDUtKs1iS~FgMq0x9DXrYyqUV5NG-M_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIJSTEXVC4PFGE2NA"}} ], /* Set video dimensions. */ width: 640, height: 480 });

OK, this is on the test site, so there should be no plugin, not even the JW plugin (just the player in the dir), except for S2.
The code I am using is exactly what you've got above.

Re: Integration with AWS streaming and S2
2012-01-19T12:42:45-05:00

Thanks for your patience.

No, s2Member does not employ any caching techniques for videos or the parsing of any PHP code that you implement. However, you might check that your WordPress installation does not have any caching plugins installed/activated during your tests. Also, some installations of PHP are compiled with byte code caches that could possibly cause things like this, although I would consider that to be highly unlikely.

With your test video.mp4 file, you should have this code. If problems persist, please post for me again the complete PHP code that you've implemented, along with the source HTML that results in your browser, which should lead to a JW Player instance that plays: video.mp4.

Code: 
JW Player® appears here.


/* A direct URL to the RTMP source; counting the file against the current User in real-time. */
$cfg = array ("file_download" => "video.mp4", "url_to_storage_source" => true, "count_against_user" => true); ?>

/* API Function `s2member_file_download_url()` returns false if access is denied to the current User. */
if (($mp4 = s2member_file_download_url ($cfg, "get-streamer-array"))) { ?>

    
        jwplayer("jw-container").setup({modes: /* JW Player®. */
        [
            /* First try real-time streaming with Flash® player. */
            {type: "flash", provider: "rtmp", src: "/jwplayer/player.swf",
                config: {streamer: "["streamer"]; ?>", file: "["file"]; ?>"}},
        
            /* Else, try an HTML5 video tag. */
            {type: "html5", provider: "video",
                config: {file: "["url"]; ?>"}},
        
            /* Else, this is a safe fallback. */
            {type: "download", /* Download the file. */
                config: {file: "["url"]; ?>"}}
        ],
        /* Set video dimensions. */ width: 480, height: 270
        });
    

} else /* Access is denied to the current User. */ { ?>
    Sorry, you do NOT have access to this file.
} ?>

Re: Integration with AWS streaming and S2
2012-01-17T15:55:36-05:00

Ok... I'm still having problems here. I deleted the old mp4 on aws. I only have the LongTail sample video.mp4 up there. I referenced the video.mp4 in the post code. But for some bizarre reason everytime I view the page it is still calling the old firstpro.mp4 file. JWPlayer even gives a sharing and embed code when the video is stopped or whatever that references firstpro.mp4, even though it is nowhere in my code!
So is this a caching thing with S2? I even checked the "Allow S2 to configure AWS" box and resaved the options, I'm completely baffled.
I did notice in the console in FF I get this error:
Error: not well-formed
Source File: https://s3-console-us-standard.console. ... eliverHttp
Line: 1, Column: 1
Source Code:
{
Would this have anything to do with it? 
I'm really stumped here. Is this a JWPlayer issue? 
How come other people get to do this and I can't? What's wrong with me? Am I not good enough for S2? (jk)

Re: Integration with AWS streaming and S2

lol...

Okay, so I got up and got some coffee... then I went back and tried it again... And this time it played the old (firstpro.mp4) video correctly. Yes, video and audio. However, when I looked at the code it is still pointing to the LongTail sample, video.mp4.

I'm thinking this might be a cloud issue with AWS, and if I wait a bit it just may fix itself? Possible?Statistics: Posted by lostinla — January 16th, 2012, 3:05 pm




Re: Integration with AWS streaming and S2

Ok... so I uploaded the simple video.mp4 sample, and changed the name of the file in the post, but when I view the post its still trying to play the old file. I cleared the browser cache... same thing. Is there another setting I'm not getting here?

Re: Integration with AWS streaming and S2
2012-01-16T14:36:59-05:00

Gotchya. Yes, that could be a possibility. A video format issue. I would test it with a known working example video from LongTail to confirm this. Your code works fine on my end yes. I didn't test the video file itself though. Your video is secured, and access can only be granted by your installation.Statistics: Posted by Jason Caldwell — January 16th, 2012, 2:36 pm

Yeah, I got that part. That was part of the exec-php directions.  Hmmm.... I'm getting ready to try reformatting the video with HandBreak as I have found some similar errors on the LongTail site which they claim is related to the H.264 formatting.... I'll keep you posted, let me know if you think of anything else. (You get it working ok on your test, right?

Re: Integration with AWS streaming and S2
2012-01-16T12:47:24-05:00

I would go with this PHP execution plugin please.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/

While Grimp may parse PHP code, it may not retain variables in scope long enough for your PHP code sample to function as required. For example, here there are multiple sets of PHP tags. If variables parsed in each set do not remain "scoped" in the context of your Page, variables could be lost when being passed to s2Member (i.e. $cfg might be undefined).

If all else fails, I would test your PHP code directly inside a Post or Page template for WordPress, just to rule out any possibility of corruption by WordPress itself, or the lack of scope by Grimp. I'm not aware of any issues with this on most WordPress installations, but it never hurts to go back to the basics when something like this causing trouble. * Note: I can confirm that your code works as expected on a clean install of s2Member® v111220, WordPress® v3.3.1 and with the Exec-PHP plugin installed.Statistics: Posted by Jason Caldwell — January 16th, 2012, 12:47 pm

Thank you. This looks good.

Couple other things I would verify if it's still not working.

1. If this code went into a Post/Page, do you have a PHP Execution plugin installed?
See: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php ... on-plugin/

2. Did you download and upload JW Player to the root of your web site?

No, if you're logged in as the admin, you should have no trouble. Here is something else that comes to mind. Have you configured your Basic Download Restrictions for s2Member yet? As a security precaution, s2Member does not allow it's File Download system to function at all if you have not configured any Basic Download Restrictions.

This code will not work because protected files require authenticated links produced by s2Member. Hard coding a direct reference to the file as it exists in your CloudFront distribution will result in nothing.

Code: 



This code is incorrect. For instance, this is wrong: 

Code: 
JW Player® appears here.



$cfg = array ("file_download" => "firstpro.mp4", "url_to_storage_source" => true, "count_against_user" => true); ?>

if (($mp4 = s2member_file_download_url ($cfg, "get-streamer-array"))) { ?>




Sorry, you do NOT have access to this file.



You'll want to have this please. Same as the example code provided by s2Member. In your case, all that should be changed is the location of the video file. Nothing else.

Re: Integration with AWS streaming and S2
2012-01-15T14:55:52-05:00

ok... i tried it with the code from the S2 module and the player:

JW Player® appears here.



$cfg = array ("file_download" => "firstpro.mp4", "url_to_storage_source" => true, "count_against_user" => true); ?>

if (($mp4 = s2member_file_download_url ($cfg, "get-streamer-array"))) { ?>

    


    Sorry, you do NOT have access to this file.


BTW: tried it with firstpro.mov too....

Then I switched to the plugin and tried it with their setup thing just to see if I could get it working....

Loading the player ...




I tired several permutations and plugins that were supposed to allow and handle the php... None of them came close and some made it worse. Nothing seemed to come closer to actually playing the stream...

I am doing this on the root site in a multisite or network setup, but I'm not married to it. In fact I'm playing with implementing everything in a single site or non-network situation on a test network. Getting the same results.
I'm a network and security geek trying to code. So my first instinct is that I'm doing the code wrong... lol

Lost

btw... the crossdomain.xml on the aws that the s2 created is completely empty. Is it supposed to be like that?Statistics: Posted by lostinla — January 15th, 2012, 2:55 pm
