JWPlayer 7.7.0 Beta/7.6.1 No cookies?
Hello all,
I'm using a self-hosted JWPlayer, and we're moving away from Flash (as it's dying). I'm doing development, and to secure the video stream, I'm filtering the actual ts files through php, and have run into a problem:
The browser cookies aren't making it to the associated m3u8 and ts files. Trouble is, that's where php puts the session ID. If I tell the underlying PHP to ignore the various security restrictions, then the video plays. With one partial exception, the session ID isn't passing on any browser I've tried when running the HLS via JS (primary: "html5", hlshtml: true - the one partial exception being Safari, and that is simply using one set of cookies for the 'normal' segment of the browser, and another for the javascript ... possibly because the Safari-enabled device in question had native support for HLS, so wasn't using the assemlber).
I've tried settings CORS headers (doesn't seem like it'd matter, as the files are all hosted on the same server and same URL that made the cookie in the first place) to no avail. I'd prefer not to pass the session ID via GET parameters, but so far that's looking like it's my only choice. Any ideas?
