I am building an app for work to demo some streaming functionality.
I've built the entire client in web2py and need to stream some video.
I need a way to stream mp4 content without using a tool like XmooV to
do it (because PHP is not running on this server and it will be
incredibly difficult to get it on there). If I can implement it in
web2py it will also allow me to do some stuff behind the scenes as far
as communicating with a back office app without having to deal with
javascript insanity. I have a feeling I am just doing something wrong
regarding headers but I really have no clue what I am doing. Here is
a code example:
def stream():
import os
if len(request.args):
title_id = int(request.args[0])
filename = db(db.content.id == title_id).select()
[0].filename.replace('.mpi','.mp4')
path = os.path.join(request.folder,'static','video',filename)
response.headers['ContentType']="video/mp4"
return response.stream(open(path),chunk_size=4096)
else:
redirect(URL(request.application,'default','index'))
I am trying to get this to stream to a flash based tool called JW
Player and basically have no clue what I am doing.
http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/Player4Formats#HTTPStreaming
is the website. The part I was supposed to be responsible for was the
client, but since I was able to do it so quickly I have had a bunch of
other stuff I have no clue about dumped on me. Any insight would be
helpful as to how to stream this mp4 file out of web2py. Thanks a lot.
