I want flask to play videos from local resources of my PC on Windows 10.
app.py
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/", methods=['GET'])
def main():
return render_template('index.html')
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80, threaded=True)
index.html
In index.html a js script to use the modified player
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='player.js') }}" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="player"></div>
<script>
var player = new Playerjs({id:"player", file:"F://Downloads//test.mp4"});
</script>
</body>
</html>
If I put the video file in the static folder everything is fine.
But i need flask to play videos from local resources.
With something like this: F://Downloads//test.mp4
Server errors:
Not allowed to load local resource: file:///F://Downloads//test.mp4
