A wagtail module for uploading and displaying videos in various codecs.

Project description

Based on wagtailimages. The aim was to have feature parity with images but for html5 videos. Includes the ability to transcode videos to a html5 compliant codec using ffmpeg.

Requirements

Installing

Install using pypi

pip install wagtailvideos

Using

On a page model:

Implement as a ForeignKey relation, same as wagtailimages.

from django.db import models

from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page

from wagtailvideos.edit_handlers import VideoChooserPanel

class HomePage(Page):
    body = RichtextField()
    header_video = models.ForeignKey('wagtailvideos.Video',
                                     related_name='+',
                                     null=True,
                                     on_delete=models.SET_NULL)

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel('body'),
        VideoChooserPanel('header_video'),
    ]

In template:

The video template tag takes one required postitional argument, a video field. All extra attributes are added to the surrounding <video> tag. The original video and all extra transcodes are added as <source> tags.

{% load wagtailvideos_tags %}
{% video self.header_video autoplay controls width=256 %}

How to transcode using ffmpeg:

Using the video collection manager from the left hand menu. In the video editing section you can see the available transcodes and a form that can be used to create new transcodes. It is assumed that your compiled version of ffmpeg has the matching codec libraries required for the transcode.

Future features

  • Richtext embed

  • Streamfield block

  • Transcoding via amazon service rather than ffmpeg

  • Wagtail homescreen video count
