def success(request):
    url_video="/media/video1.mp4"

    return render(request,"payment/success.html",{"url_video":url_video})

my template code is all clear it has no errors i am getting this error on command prompt

Not Found: /succes/media/video1.mp4

I don't understand why i get success/ in front of url i have passed.The video file is in media/video1.mp4 location but it is not getting displayed.let me know any changes i need to make.thanks

TEMPLATE:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
<style> #myHeader { background-color: lightblue; color: black; padding: 40px; text-align: center; } 
</style> 
</head>

Sounds like a relative path problem. Make sure you have:

url_video="/media/video1.mp4"

and not

url_video="media/video1.mp4"

Without the leading slash, it will try to find in directory of current url
