A Django application to handle video storage, designed to support the Signbank sign language dictionary application. This basically provides a video store where videos can be associated with a category and a tag - both string values. The category is intended to be something like the name of the model that you want to associate the video with (eg. Gloss), the tag is a unique identifier (eg. the sign IDgloss). Videos can be referenced by the combination of category and tag labels.
Install signbank-video:
pip install signbank-video
Then use it in a project:
import video
You must define the following variables in settings.py:
FFMPEG_PROGRAM = "/usr/bin/ffmpegFFMPEG_TIMEOUT = 60FFMPEG_OPTIONS = ["-vcodec", "h264", "-an"]VIDEO_ASPECT_RATIO = 3.0/4.0
These variables control ffmpeg, a program that the video app requires
and uses for extracting a frame from a video (a frame is a thumbnail).
You can download it here: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html.
The value of FFMPEG_PROGRAM on my system is /usr/bin/ffmpeg, but on
your system it might be different; it all depends on where the installer puts
the ffmpeg executable.
Your must also define these following variables in settings.py:
VIDEO_UPLOAD_LOCATION = "upload"GLOSS_VIDEO_DIRECTORY = "video"MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), media)
MEDIA_ROOT is the root directory for your media, so for the video app it's the
root directory for all of the videos. VIDEO_UPLOAD_LOCATION, and
GLOSS_VIDEO_DIRECTORY are directories inside of MEDIA_ROOT that contain
user uploaded videos, and videos of each sign, respectively.
You must also define these following variables in settings.py:
LANGUAGE_NAME = "Auslan"COUNTRY_NAME = "Australia"SITE_TITLE = "Signbank"
Finally, you must also add video to the INSTALLED_APPS variable of
settings.py.
