Tus upload taking incredibly long time #157
Description
Hi, i am experiencing a really long wait time once performing a Tus upload with the api. For a 280mb video (created on my phone) it takes a total of 2 mins and 28 seconds. This is with the chunk size set to 130 * 1024 * 1024 also. I have tried decreasing the chunk size however then it starts taking even longer. What's the best way to have this run in the background so a user can continue browsing?
My code (helper function that takes the uploaded video from form as parameter):
def video_upload(video, offer_pk):
chunk_size = (130 * 1024 * 1024) # 200 MB
#Initial sending, get an upload link
url = 'https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos'
headers = {
'Authorization': 'bearer %s' % settings.VIMEO_TOKEN, 'Content-Type' : 'application/json', 'Accept' : 'application/vnd.vimeo.*+json;version=3.4'}
data = {'upload' :{ 'approach' : 'tus', 'size' : video.size}, 'name' : str(offer_pk)}
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
if r.status_code == 200:
uri = r.json()['uri'] # link to final video
upload_link = r.json()['upload']['upload_link']
approach = r.json()['upload']['approach']#should be tus
if approach == 'tus':
try:
tus_client = client.TusClient('https://files.tus.vimeo.com')
uploader = tus_client.uploader(
chunk_size=chunk_size,
file_stream=video,
retries=3,
url=upload_link)
uploader.upload()
except Exception as e:
raise exceptions.VideoUploadFailure(
e,
'Unexpected error when uploading through tus.'
)
result = uploader.verify_upload()
if result == True:
return uri
