I don't know why the video is not shown

[georgesabin]

Hi!

I tried to use your example from the stream.

Can you tell me if I'm using correct the stream?

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
            <source src="<?php $streamer->stream($tikTok['playAddr']); ?>" type="video/mp4">
        </video>

Stream class won't put our the video streaming url, instead it will stream the video

So,

1. you need to create stream.php file which will take a url param like videoUrl or something so you in your stream.php file you can do something like

   ///some initializations
   $streamer->stream(base64_decode(urldecode($_GET['videoUrl'])));

2. then in your video tag you do something like

   <source src="stream.php?videoUrl=<?php echo urlencode(base64_encode(($tikTok['playAddr'])); ?>" type="video/mp4">

Thank you for the response.

I did exactly what you said, but now I received a 403 status code, Forbidden.

Do you have any idea why?

P.S.: I'm using wordpress.

Thanks!

You should create ajax hook using WP hook which will handle the streaming function and use that ajax url in video src attribute.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_ajax_action/

Use something like this in your theme's functions.php or plugin file

add_action('wp_ajax_tt_video_stream','tiktok_video_streamer');// for logged in users
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_tt_video_stream','tiktok_video_streamer'); // for non logged in users

function tiktok_video_streamer(){
  // this handles the ajax request when action=tt_video_stream
   $url=base64_decode(url_decode($_GET['url']));
   $streamer->stream($url); // assuming you already have created $streamer instance
   die();
}

In your video tag <source src="<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php')?action=tt_video_stream&url=<?php echo urlencode(base64_encode(($tikTok['playAddr'])); ?>" type="video/mp4">

I tried in this way, but without success also.

I still get 403 https://ibb.co/syQkjkx

The stream instance should be with a cookie file from tik tok?

[ssovit]

Make sure the cookie_file are the same when initializing both Streamer & Api classes. This library handles the cookies across so it shouldn't matter.

This issue is unrelated to the library. You should hire WordPress expert for the integration if you don't have experience with WP ajax.

[georgesabin]

Understand, but for getTrendingFeed method works fine and for getChallengeFeed not working.

[georgesabin]

Resolved! Cookie file was the problem.

Ssovit, thanks for the suport!

P.S.: Amazing API, good job!
