I have cpanel and I am looking to setup video streams for my clients.
I need to setup one time use url like suggested in below thread
How to make Expiring/Signed video embed urls
I have tried exactly the same what was suggested from it, but I can't even play a simple .mp4 file through the file path.
My reference Code:
libraries/VideoSignature.php
<?php

I have already checked about the file permissions and it works fine with hotlink "www.mydomain/path/test.mp4"
But when I use the reference like getSignedURL("play/tester/test.mp4");?>"> as suggested, the video won't start and the console has an error 'file not found 404 error'.
I need someone who can help explain to me how to get the video url to be player when I access index.php.
The only thing I am looking to add a direct URL and stream along with signature.
Any ideas?
