in thread Perl not playing video with vlc plugin

From here on, I assume that you already have a static version of the video playback working that does not involve Perl or webmin at all.

Your HTTP headers are very wonky. Please inspect them, again. Like I already told you, you should be using \r\n to delimit your HTTP headers.

The following lines are problematic:

print "Content-Length:  $end - $begin\n\n";

[download]

This means that for the web browser, all other headers after this get ignored.

Also, this means that your script outputs something like:

Content-Length:  50000000-0

[download]

... which is malformed. You will need to actually calculate the length before printing the length header.

You could have found these using the techniques I told you before. Maybe you want to retry these techniques.

      Let me recommend, once again, to use \r\n instead of \n to delimit the HTTP header lines when you print them.

      Also, your Content-Length "header" is still malformed.
