Quick start

1. Install django-embed-video:

   pip install django-embed-video
   

   or from sources

   pip install git+https://github.com/jazzband/django-embed-video
   

2. Add embed_video to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings.

3. If you want to detect HTTP/S in template tags, you have to set request context processor in settings.TEMPLATES:

   TEMPLATES = [
   {
   'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
   # ...
   'OPTIONS': {
   'context_processors': [
   # ...
   'django.template.context_processors.request',
   ],
   },
   },
   ]
   

4. Usage of template tags:

   {% load embed_video_tags %}
   The video tag:
   {% video item.video as my_video %}
   URL: {{ my_video.url }}
   Thumbnail: {{ my_video.thumbnail }}
   Backend: {{ my_video.backend }}
   {% video my_video "large" %}
   {% endvideo %}
   Or embed shortcut:
   {% video my_video '800x600' %}
   

5. Usage of model fields

   from django.db import models
   from embed_video.fields import EmbedVideoField
   class Item(models.Model):
   video = EmbedVideoField() # same like models.URLField()
