Will pseudo streaming on php work fine?
As far as I know , php blocks the file system ( blocking input / output )
And this means that if a user with a weak Internet pulls a video through the php interpreter, then others will not be able to run the script in order to pull the video they need. And I count on 1000 connections at one moment. Below is the php script code. it pulls 1024 bytes each and makes an echo to the html5 player where the data type is mp4.
I don’t want to give a stat file directly, through Nginx or ffserver too. I need to control the video process in order to put advertising banners, and prevent viewing until the full viewing of advertising. I may also want to give access only to authorized or paid users.
I would like to hear unblurred, precise answers to the following questions:
1. Is it possible to organize a player with advertising, with hotlink control (allow for certain sites, it is desirable to configure it from the web interface, we are not even talking about nginx, only using the backend language) in PHP ???
2. If not in php, what options can you offer to solve this problem?

Actually, this line is:
if (!($this->stream = fopen($this->path, 'rb'))) {
hints that the script opens the file for reading only, so parallel processes have problems with access to this file, as it were, not at all.
The problem may be in the number of simultaneously running php processes. 1000 connections = 1000 running processes, each process easily consumes 50 megabytes. Is there enough RAM for the server? :)
It is better to entrust all authorization issues to professionals:
erlyvideo.ru/doc/auth
doing streaming in PHP is just a waste of time. Learn python, erlang, nginx+lua as a last resort
