Hey troubles with django-embed-video

It works very well when I want to have a video but when I leave the urlfield blank I get an UnknownBackenExeption error. I have added blank=True, tried Null=True, required=false, but my blog model doesn't seem allow me to NOT have an embed.

Please Help,
Malek

Hi,

thank you for bug reporting. This issue will be fixed in next version od django-embed-video, the release is planned to the next week.

If you can't wait, there is a simple quick fix - just check if video is not empty in your templates:

{% if blog.embed %}
    {% video blog.embed "420x300" %} 
{% endif %}

I hope it'll help you.
