Video Streaming using Django-Flask Communication over TCP

Django Flask Socket

Objective

1. Create 2 servers, one in django and another in flask (eg: django on 9000 port and flask on 8000 port)
2. 2. User should be able to select a video file at flask server which is streamed to django server over websocket channels.
3. 3. User should be able to open multiple channels to stream multiple videos simultaneously (like different chat windows)

Solution
