 * Currently I am using WordPress and host some video’s on it
 * Due to heavy 3rd party stealing I have decided to enable Nginx Secure Links
 *     ```
       		function my_function($content){
       $new_content = preg_replace_callback('/https?.([^ ]*)?\.('.implode('|',explode(',',$this -> options['extensions'])).')/', array($this, 'convert'), $content);
       	return $new_content ;		
       		}
   
       add_filter('the_content', 'my_function',99);
   
       function secure_url($url, $path){
       	    		$expires = time() + $this -> options['ttl'];
       	    		$secret = $this -> options['secret'];
       			$md5 = md5("$expires$path $secret", true);
       			$md5 = base64_encode($md5);
       			$md5 = strtr($md5, '+/', '-_');
       			$md5 = str_replace('=', '', $md5);
   
       			//var_dump($url . $path . '?md5=' . $md5 . '&expires=' . $expires);
       			return $url . $path . '?md5=' . $md5 . '&expires=' . $expires;
   
   
       		}
       ```
   
 * This return a url
 * [https://website.nl/pathtovideofile.mp4?md5=](https://website.nl/pathtovideofile.mp4?md5=){
   string}&&expires={time()+ttl}
 * When using Gutenberg Blocks this works fine how ever when using the Classic editor(
   With shortcodes) this will break See below the output
 * `<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-1372-1_html5" width="640" height
   ="360" poster="https://website.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/big_buck_bunny.jpg"

 * Is it possible to execute the add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘my_function’,99); after
   the wp_video_shortcode function?
 * It breaks on the
 * `$type = wp_check_filetype( $atts['src'], wp_get_mime_types() );`

 * The shortcode for video embeds appears to run on `the_content` with a priority
   of `8`. I think you want to run your function before the video embed shortcode
   is run, not after: try setting your callback priority to `7`, and see what happens.

 * I finally fixed it by altering the regex code
 * `/src="?([^ ]*)?\.('.implode('|',explode(',',$this -> options['extensions'])).')([
   ^ ]*)"/`
 * And run the code after the wp_video_shortcode
 * 2nd problem was that my changed wp_video_shortcode ran as the default setting
   causing it mainly the problems
