A simple client-server setup for streaming audio across devices over TCP sockets using Python.
- PyAudio fork with loopback option (for transmitter)
The implementation was tested on a Raspberry Pi and a Windows 8.1 PC over Wi-Fi connection:
- Raspberry Pi (receiver/socket server)
- Rasbian 9
- Python 3.5
- PyAudio installed via package manager (
apt-get install python3-pyaudio)
- Windows 8.1 (transmitter/socket client)
- Python 3.6
- PyAudio 0.2.11 prebuilt for win 64 (downloaded from here)
Note: Both transmitter and receiver scripts require the utils.py module.
transmitter_win.py [-h] [-d DEV_ID] [-ip IP] [-p PORT]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DEV_ID, --dev-id DEV_ID
the device ID to use for audio transmition
-ip IP the server's IP address (default: 127.0.0.1)
-p PORT, --port PORT the server's port to connect to (default: 9999)
usage: receiver.py [-h] [-d DEV_ID] [-p PORT]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DEV_ID, --dev-id DEV_ID
the device ID to use for audio playback
-p PORT, --port PORT the socket port to bind to (default:9999)
