// SCRIPT CONFIGURATION
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// MEDIA PATH
//
// you can configure these settings to point to video files outside the public html folder.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// points to server root
define('XMOOV_PATH_ROOT', '');
// points to the folder containing the video files. Should start and end with '/'
define('XMOOV_PATH_FILES', '/videos/');

// SCRIPT BEHAVIOR
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//set to TRUE to use bandwidth limiting.

//set to FALSE to prohibit caching of video files.

// BANDWIDTH SETTINGS
//
// these settings are only needed when using bandwidth limiting.
//
// bandwidth is limited my sending a limited amount of video data(XMOOV_BW_PACKET_SIZE),
// in specified time intervals(XMOOV_BW_PACKET_INTERVAL).
// avoid time intervals over 1.5 seconds for best results.
//
// you can also control bandwidth limiting via http command using your video player.
// the function getBandwidthLimit($part) holds three preconfigured presets(low, mid, high),
// which can be changed to meet your needs
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//set how many kilobytes will be sent per time interval
