Publish on PyPI

[cardil]

I'm using this project to transmit my mic (via pipewire) to my remote gaming rig (running Voicemeeter Banana on Windows). It works well, thx @TheStaticTurtle!

I would like to have some tooling based on this library, maybe with some GUI, but your code isn't available on PyPI. This hinders the ease of use, as I need to either fork, or bundle your code somehow. I rather just use it as a regular PyPI dependency.

Would you mind publishing it on PyPI?

Hi,

I have considered it before but I am not happy with the current state of the code and doesn't implement the full spec (https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/VBANProtocol_Specifications.pdf)

I need a break from my other projects, so I'll see what I can do to re-write it properly

Hi,

I did a big refractor, the API is mostly the same (see README). However, it would be good if you could test it!
If everything checks out, I'll publish it on PyPI tomorrow.

Thanks. I'll test it soon.

The listing of devices and sending the sound works. I ran:

import logging
import pyvban

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

pyvban.utils.device_list()

sender = pyvban.utils.VBAN_Sender(
    receiver_ip="192.168.5.6",
    receiver_port=6980,
    stream_name="ksuszyns",
    sample_rate=48000,
    channels=2,
    device_index=12
)
sender.run()

The log was:

I was able to record the input device on the remote machine.

So send works for you ?
Could you try receive and text ?

[cardil]

@TheStaticTurtle: So send works for you ?

Yes.

@TheStaticTurtle: Could you try receive and text?

I don't know how I may test the receive and text functions. Sorry.

[TheStaticTurtle]

Ok nice,

I'll do some testing later today, maybe improve the errors a bit, and then I'll publish the package.
I'm much happier with this code than the crap that I wrote 5 years ago, but there's always room for improvement.

I'll notify this issue once I publish it

Thanks,
Samuel
