Basic Django Celery Example for HLS (Http Live Streaming) with ffmpeg

You could git clone this repository to get it working but I recommend following these manual steps so you understand what's required to get a basic Celery example up and running.

Before you start, you'll need a Redis server. If you don't have one the easiest way is through Docker with the following command:

docker run --name my-redis-server -d -p 127.0.0.1:6379:6379 redis

Also you have to install ffmpeg for streaming

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg

Create a virtual environment using the method of your choice, I like to use the following command:

python3.8 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools > /dev/null

Create the requirements.txt file to install the packages required:

django
redis
celery

Activate your virtual environment and install the requirements in the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you need to launch the Django test server:

python manage.py runserver

Then in a second terminal window, navigate to your project directory, activate the virtual environment again, and then launch the Celery process - it should print out some debug information and then a ready message to indicate it has connected to Redis successfully and is waiting for tasks:

python -m celery -A celery_project worker -l info -P solo

Browse to http://127.0.0.1 and you should see a form. Try inputing a url of the video , it can be local file url or stream link
After start streaming, you should see the streamed url.

Hopefully that worked for you and gives you something to build upon.

Input below urls for test
