    To my surprise, this plugin do not work with mp4 files.

    Outside ‘private’-folder i can play my video
    Inside ‘private’-folder not
    File access using parameters also do not play: ?pucd-folder=private&pucd-file=xyz.mp4

    HEADER within private (not working):

    HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
Server: nginx
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 13:00:06 GMT
Content-Type: video/mp4

    HEADER outside private (working)

    HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
Server: nginx

    I added 2 lines after
    header(‘Content-type: ‘ . $mimetype); // always send this

    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($path)); //NEW
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes'); //NEW

    this do not help

    Firefox Error in private-folder:
    Error Code: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_METADATA_ERR (0x806e0006) Details: static MP4Metadata::ResultAndByteBuffer __cdecl mozilla::MP4Metadata::Metadata(mozilla::ByteStream *): Cannot parse metadata

    PS: I use .htaccess – do not know why nginx is shown in header…

    I found the problem. You should add this important notice to readme.

    I had a single theme file that was saved as UTF-8 WITH BOM.
    This UTF8-FILE add 3 extra bytes: EF BB BF
    So my file MP4-file was destroyed.
    Same happen to other files like JPG.
    But not to PDF

    I don’t have any problems with MP4 files in the private folder, so I think your issue must be related to the theme that you mentioned.
