For example, you have a model Torrent:

    name = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True)
    content = models.FileField(upload_to="torrents/torrents", blank=True)

You can display the button, when clicked, will be available to the player:

{% load torrent_stream %}
{% torrent_stream_button torrent.filename %}

Or you can display a player at once:

{% load torrent_stream %}
{% torrent_stream_player torrent.filename %}

How to get CONTENT_ID

Sometimes you need to get CONTENT_ID, you can do so:

from app.models import Torrent
from torrent_stream.helpers import get_content_id

torrent_obj = Torrent.objects.get(pk=42)

# Enough to transmit the content of the torrent file
content_id = get_content_id(torrent_obj.content.read())

# Or you can also pass the name of the torrent, and the duration to display the data in the player
content_id = get_content_id(torrent_obj.content.read(), torrent_obj.name, duration_in_seconds)
