edne / shouty Goto Github PK

Hello,

I'm wondering if I can handle my use case w/ this lib (w/ some glue code of course).

I'm looking for a lighter replacement for liquidsoap as it does too much and I only need to play a playlist + idv3 tags on each file holding metadata.

Questions:

1. code tells me that a connection is meant to work w/ one single file
   a. open 1 connection per file when you have 100 files is still ok? (well, they get closed by ctx manager indeed, still... :))
   b. should I open only one connection and attach metadata on the fly on current connection?

2. CPU usage. Judging from your experience (I know the lib is not that old): are they any issue I might encounter w/ one of the above options?

Thanks in advance!

I set up a VPS to host a Flask app with a web player streaming music from an IceCast stream. In the Flask app I connect to the IceCast server with:

import shouty

params = {
    'host': 'x.x.x.x',
    'port': 8000,
    'user': 'source',
    'password': 'hackme',
    'format': shouty.Format.MP3,
    'mount': '/stream'
}

def streamRadio():
    with shouty.connect(**params) as connection:
        with open('music.mp3', 'rb') as f:
            while True:
                chunk = f.read(4096)
                if not chunk:
                    break

                connection.send(chunk)
                connection.sync()

For host I use the IP address of the VPS and I have the IP for hostname in icecast.xml. For testing, I launch the Flask Dev Server and got to the VPS address x.x.x.x:5000. When the page loads with the web player, it tries to connect to the IceCast server using the streamRadio() function. This returns the error Error description: Login failed. I have tested running the Flask app on my computer and connecting to IceCast on the VPS and it worked. Is there something wrong with how I set up the parameter in the Flask app for the VPS?

Implement a logging system

I was using shouty in local dev without any problems. When I move the flask app to a VPS, I am now getting the error RuntimeError: Library shout not found when I execute:

def streamRadio():
    with shouty.connect(**params) as connection:
        print(connection)
        with open('music.mp3', 'rb') as f:
            while True:
                chunk = f.read(4096)
                print(chunk)
                if not chunk:
                    break

                connection.send(chunk)
                connection.sync()

I'm confused whether this is a bug or a problem with my flask app.

Implement a binding for shout_set_audio_info()

Notify the user when he tries to stream a file with the wrong format
