I want to create a web application that access videos from many different websites such as YouTube, Google Video, etc. The app should be able to store all the necessary information that would later allow the site to access a particular video. For instance, if the user inputs the URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg, the application should be able to store all the information needed to play the video and play it later. My problem is that I am new to web programming and I am having trouble creating an effective model for the web app. As it stands, I have a Video model that has a ForeignKey to a VideoHost model. The VideoHost contains a hostname for a video hosting site, a field that stores the regex necessary to extract some kind of identifier from the URL, and some other information that pertains to accessing a video from that particular host. The more I work with this model, however, the more I find it hard to use and too inflexible.
I don't mean to ask anyone to come up with a complete model for me. I gave the details of the project so that my situation would be better understood. All I am asking is if anyone can recommend a better model pattern that I could use for a mashup of this sort. Thanks in advance! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
