incuna-videos

An extensible Django app, that can output a <video> tag with a number of sources. These are represented by a Video and Source model.

The concept (and some code) is borrowed from the FeinCMS Page model.

Installation

To use the videos module add videos to your INSTALLED_APPS.

Warning: Before proceeding with manage.py syncdb, you may want to add some video extensions.

Video extension modules

Extensions are a way to add often-used functionality the Video model.

To register extensions, call Video.register_extensions from a models.py file that will get imported at run-time:

from videos.models import Video
Video.register_extensions(
    'videos.extensions.chapters',
    'videos.extensions.speakers',
    'myapp.videoextensions',
)

If the extension requires its own models (like the chapters and speakers extension) then the app containing the models will also need to be added to your INSTALLED_APPS. ie:

INSTALLED_APPS += ['videos.module.chapters', ...]

Custom extensions

You may be interested in the documentation for FeinCMS extensions.

FeinCMS Content

A VideoContent FeinCMS content type is available in videos.content

Example usage:

from videos.content import VideoContent
Page.create_content_type(
    VideoContent,
    TYPE_CHOICES=(
        ('block', _('block')),
        ('left', _('left')),
        ('right', _('right')),
    )
)

Dependencies

• FeinCMS

  This facilitates the extensions and content-types mechanisms.

• django-imagekit

  This is used to scale the preview/cover image of the Video object.
