Django Db Images video
Daniel is referring to the fact that storing large binary files in a DB is not efficient. Use the filesystem instead - take a look at FileField and ImageFileField, which are designed to handle file uploads:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#filefield
The only thing stored in the DB is the path to the binary file.
The Model you need models.py
from django.db import modelsclass Video(models.Model): name= models.CharField(max_length=500) file= models.FileField(upload_to='videos/', null=True, verbose_name="")Form class you need forms.py
from .models import Videoclass VideoForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model= Video fields= ["name", "file"]inside views.py
from django.shortcuts import renderfrom .models import Videofrom .forms import VideoFormdef showvideo(request): firstvideo= Video.objects.last() videofile= firstvideo.file.url form= VideoForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None) if form.is_valid(): form.save() context= {'file_url': videofile, 'form': form } return render(request, 'videos.html', context)And finally your template: videos.html
<body><h1>Video Uploader</h1><form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action=""> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="Upload"/></form><br><video width='600' controls> <source src='{{ file_url }}' type='video/mp4'> File not found.</video><br></p></body>
