Re: Problem serving video to Mac/Safari/Quicktime

I solved this problem by creating a method that returns the video file
using @readfile()

So the source for my embed tag looks like this:

<param name="SRC" value="/user_files/get_file/<?php echo $file_id; ?>/
<?php echo $session->id(); ?>">

Then in Controller, I have

function beforeFilter() {
if($this->action == 'get_file') {
$this->Session->id($this->params['pass'][1]);
$this->Session->start();
}
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allowedActions = array();
}

This method have no security compromise.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Dyske
