Python-based SDR receiver, controlled entirely over the web. All processing performed server-side, for minimum bandwidth impact.

rtlweb is written on top of Python 3.x, and was intended for use under a Linux system.

• Linux
• rx_tools (https://github.com/rxseger/rx_tools)
• redsea
• ffmpeg (requires HLS & libaac support)
• msgpack (pip3 install msgpack)
• flask (pip3 install flask)
• flask_socketio (pip3 install flask_socketio)
• flask_htmlmin (pip3 install flask_htmlmin)
• flask_htmlmin (pip3 install flask_htmlmin)

A simple guide to get up and running. Assumes an Ubuntu/Debian-like environment.

• Run this to install the Python modules. pip3 install msgpack flask flask_socketio flask_htmlmin eventlet

• Compile and install rx-tools

sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev

• Compile and install red-sea

# Install dependencies for redsea
sudo apt install git build-essential autoconf libsndfile1-dev libliquid-dev

# Build in /tmp
cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/windytan/redsea.git
cd redsea
 ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

# This final command may need to be run as root
