Hi,
I'm interested in using twisted to build a server for recording streaming audio. I've spent some time googling and looking through the archives but haven't been able to find much in the way of examples for this sort of usage. To be clear, I'm not trying to stream media from the server to the client, but want to stream the audio from (potentially multiple) clients to the server, where it will be recorded and possibly later annotated for reference.
The closest possible example of this sort of usage scenario that I was able to find was shtoom, but I wasn't able to get very far with that, as the source does not seem to be available, despite the site still being up (perhaps I just couldn't find it ).
Does anyone know of any working examples of such usage that might be easily adapted. I'm really only looking for the simplest possible base example that would allow me to connect one or more clients over localhost and stream the audio to the server. On the other hand, perhaps it is better to just go with the bundled SocketServer module to start with?
"Stream" doesn't mean a whole lot - at least not specifically. The only interesting thing it really implies, I think, is that the data you're sending only comes into existence shortly before you send it. The way to stream audio with Twisted is just like the way you would send any other data with Twisted. Open a connection and start writing to it. For documentation about how to do this, see the client and server howtos: http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/clients.html http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/servers.html If you run into specific problems or have any more specific questions, don't hesitate to ask. :) Jean-Paul
