Play a downloaded video with flask [duplicate]
I think you have something going on with file paths or file permissions.
- Is the video being downloaded into
staticdirectory? - Is the
staticdirectory in the same directory, along with yourmain.pyfile? - Does your flask app have permissions to read the file?
I think the reason your file did not load in html template is because you referenced it as static/test.mp4 from an url - /done which translates the video path to be /done/static/test.mp4.
Instead of trying to push the file using Flask, you can redirect to the actual media file.
@app.route('/done')def done(): return redirect('/static/test.mp4')
