The server is overloaded when playing a video

[irumaru]

Expected behaviour

Load the video only for the part to be played.

Actual behaviour

Read all files the moment you play.

Steps to reproduce

Play the video in your browser.

How to improve I think

You should create a new remote.php alternative without using remote.php.

To do that

$dir //Video file location

$size = filesize($dir);
$fp = fopen($dir,"rb");

$etag = md5($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]).$size;

if(@$_SERVER["HTTP_RANGE"]){
list($start,$end) = sscanf($_SERVER["HTTP_RANGE"],"bytes=%d-%d");
if(empty($end)) $end = $start + 10000000 - 1;
if($end>=($size-1)) $end = $size - 1;
header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content");
header("Content-Range: bytes {$start}-{$end}/{$size}");
$size = $end - $start + 1;
fseek($fp,$start);
}

header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
header("Content-Type: video/mp4");
header("Content-Length: {$size}");
header("Etag: "{$etag}"");

//if($size) echo fread($fp,$size);

echo fread($fp,10000000);
ob_flush();

fclose($fp);

Not sure if you're talking about in Browser or by Webdav (I'm not the brightest bulbs)
However, will confirm that this happens both on PHP 4.7.10 and PHP-FPM 4.7.10 in the web browser. Not sure about with Webdav. File locking with redis and distributing both being enabled has the same result as well.
