s2Stream short code URL problem?

I can’t seem to get access level protection working correctly for downloadable files. I can access videos and PDF’s that are in s2member-files no problems. And it appears that mod_rewrite is working fine. (Can access both with & and non-parametered URL’s.). However, if I put the video in s2member-files/access-s2member-level1 it is not found even if logged in as admin (Level 4).

On s2member (Free) (I haven’t upgraded the plug in to PRO yet) this short code

[s2Stream player="jwplayer-v6" player_path="/wordpress/jwplayer/jwplayer.js" file_download="access-s2member-level1/testhaba.mp4" player_key="key-goes-here" rewrite="yes" /]

[Yes, I know my jwplayer is in a non-standard location.]

Produces this page source:

jwplayer('s2-stream-776a1e0d391fda43d912a76943d2668f').setup
	({
		playlist:
			[{
				title: '',
				image: '',

				mediaid: '',
				description: '',

				captions: [],

				sources: // Available sources.
					[
						{file: 'http://www.DOMAINNAME.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/s2member-file-stream-no/s2member-file-inline/access-s2member-level1%2Ftesthaba.mp4'}
					]
			}],

		controls: true,
		height: 270,
		skin: '',
		stretching: 'uniform',
		width: 480,

		autostart: false,
		fallback: true,
		mute: false,
		primary: 'flash',
		repeat: false,
		startparam: '',

		
	});

Is the problem the %2F in the URL? If so, how do I work around this?

Thanks,

Ira

Oh and for clarity sakes accessing a PDF in the access-s2member-level1 directory works fine like this:

http://www.DOMAINNAME.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/s2member-file-stream-no/s2member-file-inline/access-s2member-level1/pool.pdf

I just can’t get the video to play – so I suspect it is the rewrite of the video URL.

Hi Ira.

Thanks for reporting this. I’ll show it to Jason and let you know as soon as I hear back from him.

Cristian,

Thanks! Any feedback yet? I still need a work around (other than not protecting specific files by membership level).

Thanks,

Ira

No, he hasn’t reached this ticket yet. He’s been quite busy.

Is the problem the %2F in the URL? If so, how do I work around this?

That seems right. You can use the output code instead of the shortcode for now, try replacing [hilite mono]%2F[/hilite] with a slash.

Hi Cristian,

I’m fairly confident that the PHP/html code will work fine once the %2F is corrected. (The URL alone works fine.) What I need is a workaround so I can simply generate the correct code in my WordPress pages without writing all the PHP to load the player completely from scratch. I have almost 40 video files that I need to post.

Thanks,

Ira

Of course, the shortcode is more convenient.

Cristian,

Without the short code, what is the correct “long code” to call the JW Player? I didn’t see that anywhere in the documentation.

Thanks,

Ira

You can find them here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› JW Player® & RTMP Protocol Examples -> PHP Code Examples[/hilite]

Or you can use the shortcode, load the page, copy the output code, paste the code in the editor (text, not visual) and fix the URL.

Thanks for your patience.

This issue has been identified in the development copy and a fix will be pushed out in the next maintenance release. Until then, if you’d like to patch your existing copy of the software, please download and extract the attached file; allowing it to override your existing copy of: /s2member/includes/classes/files-in.inc.php

Thank you for reporting this important issue!

Jason – Many thanks! I will give it a go shortly (over the weekend). I’m assuming it is fixed and will only reply if it doesn’t work or I find something else. Thanks again!

UPDATE: This patch was formally applied to the maintenance release of s2Member v130404.
