Playing Video with Django and html tag

[תמר בביוף‎]

Hello everyone

 :I try to enable a video tag in HTML like this 

<video width="530" height="440" controls autoplay>
<source src="../static/you.mp4" type="video/mp4"></source>
</video>

:My problem is that the video does not run on Django, and looks like a black 

 Running on html alone it works,  

Does anyone know what the problem is? Is not a video tag enough when using Django?

try using {% static.. to server your file.

What web browser are you using?

I had to work my way around this as well, and it ended up being that I had to use:

RangedFileResponse module.

Name: django-ranged-response

Version: 0.2.0

Summary: Modified Django FileResponse that adds Content-Range headers.

Home-page: https://github.com/wearespindle/django-ranged-fileresponse

Author: Spindle

Author-email: jer...@wearespindle.com

License: MIT

Location: /Users/benjamin/venvs/quickbbs/lib/python3.9/site-packages

Requires: django

Required-by: 

And I am using this wrapper, for the download:

def download(request, filename=None):

    """

    Replaces new_download.  

    

    This now takes http://<servername>/downloads/<filename>?UUID=<uuid>

    

    This fakes the browser into displaying the filename as the title of the

    download.  

    

    """

    # Is this from an archive?  If so, get the Page ID.

    d_uuid=request.GET.get("UUID", None)

    if d_uuid == None:

        d_uuid=request.GET.get("uuid", None)

    

    if d_uuid in ["", None]:

        raise Http404

    page = request.GET.get('page', None)

    if page is None:

        download = index_data.objects.filter(uuid=d_uuid,

                                             ignore=False,

                                             delete_pending=False)[0]

    else:

        print ("Attempting to find page %s in archive" % page)

    print("\tDownloading - %s, %s" % (download.fqpndirectory.lower(),

                                      download.name))

                                      

    movie = download.filetype.is_movie

    return respond_as_inline(request,

                                 "%s%s%s" % (

                                     configdata["locations"]["albums_path"],

                                     os.sep,

                                     download.fqpndirectory),

                                 download.name,

                                 ranged=movie)

def respond_as_inline(request, file_path, original_filename, ranged=False):

    # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36392510/django-download-a-file

    # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27712778/video-plays-in-other-browsers-but-not-safari

    # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/720419/how-can-i-find-out-whether-a-server-supports-the-range-header

    filename = os.path.join(file_path, original_filename)

    if os.path.exists(filename):

        mtype, encoding = mimetypes.guess_type(original_filename)

        if mtype is None:

            mtype = 'application/octet-stream'

        with open(filename, 'rb') as fh:

            if ranged:

                response = RangedFileResponse(request, file=open(filename, 'rb'), as_attachment=False, filename=original_filename)

                response["Content-Type"] = mtype

            else:

                response = HttpResponse(fh.read(), content_type=mtype)

                response['Content-Disposition'] = 'inline; filename=%s'% original_filename

        return response    

    else:

        print("File not found")

    raise Http404

For the web side..

                            {% if item.filetype.is_movie %}

 <video class="video-js" data-setup='{}' controls>

  <source src="/download/{{ item.uuid }}" type="video/mp4">

</video>

                            {% endif %}

Hope that helps.  And yes, the python code is intended as a starting place, as it’s very specific to my implementation of a web gallery..

But I’m more than happy to try to help…
