Roku Developer Program

Hi everyone I am new to this so I am looking for some help. I am not sure if this is something I should be doing in brightscript or in side the xml for my list of channels. I have everything working but I am adding secure streaming to our wowza server. I need to figure out how to get this working on my Roku box.

<?php
$today = gmdate("n/j/Y g:i:s A");
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$key = "MYKEYWORKS";
$validminutes = 20;
$str2hash = $ip . $key . $today . $validminutes;
$md5raw = md5($str2hash, true);
$base64hash = base64_encode($md5raw);
$urlsignature = "server_time=" . $today ."&hash_value=" . $base64hash. "&validminutes=$validminutes";
$base64urlsignature = base64_encode($urlsignature);
?>


I need to add this string to my URL for access the stream inside my XML file ?wmsAuthSign=<?php echo $base64urlsignature?> So I am looking for help to get it working thanks for everyone's help.

Here is a section of m XML file

What you can do is to build a script on your server which returns the path with the string attached. So in your XML instead of

<streamUrl>http://streamingserverURL:1935/live/STREAMCHANNEL.sdp/playlist.m3u8</streamUrl>

you would have something like

<streamUrl>http://myserver.com/playlistX.mp4</streamUrl>

Then when they call playlistX.mp4 you process that with php and send their browser to the location

http://streamingserverURL:1935/live/STREAMCHANNEL.sdp/playlist.m3u8 + your encrypted string

That sounds like a great idea would this be a script I would have run every "X" minutes? Could you share how to do this I think a linux job that runs the php script would be what is needed but it would also create the file correct?

There's no reason why you couldn't do this on the Roku device itself. See the Flickr example for some hash generation code that might be helpful.
