A python3 reference implementation of an UbiCast MediaServer API client.

Installation

To install the latest release of the mediaserver-client from PyPI :

pip install mediaserver-api-client

For development, the package can be installed in editable mode to allow changes on it :

git clone [e-mail]:UbiCastTeam/mediaserver-client.git
cd mediaserver-client/
# there it's recommended to create/enable some virtualenv
pip install --editable .

Important

For production use, it is recommended to use the branch named "stable". The "master" branch is used for development.

Client class instantiation

The client class (ms_client.client.MediaServerClient) takes two arguments:

• local_conf: This argument can be either a dict, a path (str object) or a unix user (unix:msuser for example). The default value is None, which means no configuration.
• setup_logging: This argument must be a boolean. If set to True, the logging to console will be configured. The default value is True.

Configuration

You can see available parameters in the default configuration file : Default configuration

The local configuration should be a json file.

Notes about older client

If you are using the first version of this client (a single file named mediaserver_api_client.py), here are the steps to update your client:

• Remove the old client file (mediaserver_api_client.py).
• Install the new client using the setup.py.
• Replace the import path of MediaServerClient (see examples).
• Replace the arguments named config_dict and config_path by local_conf in the MediaServerClient init.
• Replace all occurences of MediaServerClient.config by MediaServerClient.conf.
