I want to create my first RoR application for downloading video/photo (like this one)content from popular websites. I found youtube-dl.rb gem and configured downloading videos from instagram, but I can't get images from photo and gallery Instagram posts. I should to use API directly or another gem. Can I do this only with youtube-dl library?
You have to use Instagram API directly. youtube-dl library only for videos and metadata for videos.

I want to make a website for watching videos like vimeo or youtube but i have no idea how to watch/stream the videos on the frontend from my django backend.
So i have the videos in my database how will someone watch them from his browser
I think the best way to achieve that is put your videos on separate server (special for videos) and store links for those videos in your django application
after that you can send video link to your frontend and manage it
There are several posts on this topic.
I tried the Vimeo networking example app from GitHub and Vimeo Deeplink, but none of them worked.
Everytime, I get an error like URL misconfigured.
See below screenshot:
I don't know which is the right-way to proceed. I need to know how the URL is formed using the APIs.
I tried to add a YouTube video in article content, but it alway failed to upload the video link because YouTube is blocked in my country. So I built a HTTP proxy to watch YouTube, how could I tell the wagtail application to use my HTTP proxy while fetching YouTube embed metadata?
As far as I understand, your server and your users are behind a firewall that blocks access to YouTube. So there is two problems to solve:
Your Wagtail app should be able to access https://www.youtube.com/oembed to fetch metadata and iframe code to embed (see the example response).
Your users should be able to access youtube servers to watch videos.
To solve the first problem you can use a custom embed finder. You can find some information on how to add a custom embed finder the Wagtail's documentation.
Your embed finder should recognise youtube urls and send requests to fetch meta info through the proxy.
The second problem should be solved on the client's side (the client's browser should use proxy) or you should transparently proxy traffic youtube <-> your users somehow. It's not really Wagtail related issue, so I'll leave it with you.
Iam new to Dropbox/python pls guide me accordingly.
I need to build simple userinterface(web) where i should have option to upload .mp4 files to dropbox. Using python i need to read the video from dropbox and store the images in dropbox folder. The webinterface should not ask for authentication to upload into Dropbox.
Please suggest how can enduser from internet upload videos into dropbox without authentication.
I had gone thru dropbox API but i could not get anything relavant. Pls suggest
I manage a website where users post entertainment content (photos, text). It's developed in Django with postgresql. I am trying to add a video feature on the website - such that everyone can upload their favorite videos on the website and share them.
Instead of building out video streaming infrastructure myself, can I use an existing video service as a viable backend? For instance, using Youtube's API to send all uploaded videos to its servers, and then embed a youtube player in my website that users can utilize to view uploaded videos? Youtube actually imposes a quota, that computes to about 400 video uploads, 1500 write operations, and 50,000 read operations. My website's scale is already beyond this. Are there any other services I can use? Sorry if this is a newbie question, I actually don't have any experience in this domain. If you point me in the right direction, perhaps giving an illustrative example, I can start getting deeper into this.
The closest I have gotten is getting a bizspark plus subscription that is free for one and a half years. After that one can use Azure media services to get the job done.
