Django runningerver - cannot serve video files

Question

When starting Django in local mode using the runerver command, the video files do not load properly in the browser. I get an error

An error occurred while loading the resource.

All other static files are great, such as images, javascript and css.

Answer 1

I finally found the answer, Django runningerver does not support byte range requests. See this topic:

Answer 2

Try to run

python manage.py collectstatic

, STATIC_ROOT STATICFILES_DIRS .
