I am trying to play the video file with help of vlc-plugin. Here is my code:- 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Basename;

my $file ='/home/abhishek/Videos/lua.mp4';
my $size = -s "$file";
my $begin=0;
my $end=$size;
(my $name, my $dir, my $ext) = fileparse($file, qr/\.[^.]*/);

open (my $fh, '<', $file)or die "can't open $file: $!";
binmode $fh;

print "Content-Type: application/x-vlc-plugin \n";
print "Cache-Control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=0";
print "Pragma: no-cache" ;
print "Accept-Ranges: bytes";
print "Content-Length:  $end - $begin\n\n";
print "Content-Range: bytes $begin'-'$end'/'$size";
print "Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"$name$ext\"\n";
print "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary";
print "Connection: close"; 

my $cur=$begin;
seek($fh,$begin,0);
while(!eof($fh) && $cur < $end)
{
    my $buf=1024*16;
    read $fh, $buf, $end-$cur;
    $cur+=1024*16;
}
close $fh;

And here is my access log is writing 
127.0.0.1 - - [29/Dec/2015:11:39:31 +0530] "GET /cgi-bin/download.cgi 
+HTTP/1.1" 200 484 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko

As I checked what does this mean from apache site,here is what i got

If no content was returned to the client, this value will be "-". To log "0" for no content, use %B instead.

I think the path or file has the issue. No content is returning to the client.It is returning null. I am not able to figure out what is going wrong. Any help what will be grateful.

And please suggest me what should i do to play the video and I am not sure is this the correct way to do?

Thanks in advance
