Usage and examples

Simple usage

Required imports

>>> from vishap import render_video

Rendering Vimeo code

>>> print render_video('http://vimeo.com/45655450', 500, 281)
<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/45655450" width="500" height="281"
frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen>
</iframe>

Rendering Youtube code

>>> print render_video('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIPl7PtGXNI', 560, 315)
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/LIPl7PtGXNI"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Filling available area

If you want your embed code to fill the available area, render it without width and height attributes and place it in a container to which it shall stretch.

Example

>>> s = """<div class="video-wrapper">
>>> {embed_code}
>>> </div>""".format(
>>>     embed_code = render_video('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIPl7PtGXNI')
>>> )

Your CSS file should then look similar to the following

>>> .video-wrapper {
>>>     width: 600px;
>>>     height: 500px;
>>>     padding: 0;
>>> }
>>>     .video-wrapper iframe {
>>>         position: absolute;
>>>         width: 100%;
>>>         height: 100%;
>>>     }

Register a custom plugin

>>> class ExamplePlugin(BaseVideoPlugin):
>>>     uid = "example"
>>>     name = "Example"
>>>     url_pattern = "^(?P<prefix>(http\:\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/watch\?v=)|(http\:\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/v\/)|(http\:\/\/youtu\.be\/))(?P<value>[A-Za-z0-9\-=_]{11})"
>>>     id_pattern = "^(?P<value>[A-Za-z0-9\-=_]{11})"
>>>     thumbnail_pattern = "//img.youtube.com/vi/{0}/{1}.jpg"
>>>     embed_code = """
>>>     <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{video_id}" {options} frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
>>>     """
>>>
>>> plugin_registry.register(ExamplePlugin)

Replacing existing plugin

If you want to replace/update existing plugin, you can force register it in the registry.

>>> class UpdatedYoutubePlugin(BaseVideoPlugin):
>>>     uid = "youtube"
>>>     name = "Youtube"
>>>     url_pattern = "^(?P<prefix>(http\:\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/watch\?v=)|(http\:\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/v\/)|(http\:\/\/youtu\.be\/))(?P<value>[A-Za-z0-9\-=_]{11})"
>>>     id_pattern = "^(?P<value>[A-Za-z0-9\-=_]{11})"
>>>     thumbnail_pattern = "//img.youtube.com/vi/{0}/{1}.jpg"
>>>     embed_code = """
>>>     <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{video_id}" {options} frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
>>>     """
>>>
>>> plugin_registry.register(UpdatedYoutubePlugin, force=True)
