Now Playing RaBe Songticker
Project description
Radio Bern Now Playing
This repo contains the tool we use to grab, aggregate and publish show, artist and track metadata from various sources.
The nowplaying project grabs info from RaBes playout solution and publishes them to broadcast vectors like DAB+ and Webstreams.
It also takes care of generating our live ticker at songticker.rabe.ch.
Overview
The nowplaying daemon takes various sources into account:
- The RaBe playout solution (via the virtual-saemubox project)
- Input from Klangbecken
It then make an informed decision as to what should be our leading PAD data and pushes this to it's track handlers for the following sinks:
- DAB+ (via the ODR-EncoderManager API)
- Webstream by pushing to our Icecast instances
- Statically hosted XML output for browsers on songticker.rabe.ch
The sources are currently individually implemented and are being replaced with generic RaBe CloudEvents based sources. In many places the legacy system is underdocumented and this documentation documents the new system.
Usage
TBD
RaBe CloudEvents
The nowplaying projects receives httpd RaBe CloudEvents on a dedicated web service. It reacts to them depending on the event type and source
It supports the following event types:
ch.rabe.api.events.track.v1.trackStarted
ch.rabe.api.events.track.v1.trackFinished
An example trackStarted
event looks like this:
{
"specversion": "1.0",
"type": "ch.rabe.api.events.track.v1.trackStarted",
"source": "<source>",
"subject": null,
"id": "<id>",
"time": "2021-12-28T19:31:00Z",
"datacontenttype": "application/json",
"data": {
"item.artist": "hairmare fusion sounds collective",
"item.title": "C L O U D E V E N T W A V E",
"item.length": 36000
}
}
It can be sent to the nowplaying service using cURL as follows:
curl -vvv -u rabe:rabe -H 'Content-Type: application/cloudevents+json' -X POST -d '@event.json' localhost:8080/webhook
In most cases the use of a cloudevents-sdk is recommended. The following example is based on the same python-sdk nowplaying uses.
import requests
from cloudevents.http import CloudEvent, to_structured
def send_event(url, username, password):
# This data defines a cloudevent
attributes = {
"specversion": "1.0",
# as defined by the events-spec repo
"type": "ch.rabe.api.events.track.v1.trackStarted",
# for klangbecken the github link is always used as source (as per events-spec)
"source": "https://github.com/radiorabe/klangbecken",
# this should be generated and could/should point to a real
# URL on either https://klangbecken.service.int.example.org
# using a `crid://` URL based on the upcoming crid-spec.
"id": "uri:demo:12345",
}
data = {
"item.title": "Track Title",
"item.artist": "Artist",
# length in seconds, optional if you also implement sending the
# not "completely specced yet" trackFinished event
"item.length": 60,
}
event = CloudEvent(attributes, data)
headers, body = to_structured(event)
# send and print event
requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=body, auth=(username, password))
print(f"Sent {event['id']} from {event['source']} with {event.data}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
# local config
url = "https://nowplaying.service.int.example.org/webhook"
username = "rabe"
password = "rabe"
# do work
send_event(url, username, password)

Release Management
The CI/CD setup uses semantic commit messages following the conventional commits standard. There is a GitHub Action in .github/workflows/semantic-release.yaml that uses go-semantic-commit to create new releases.
The commit message should be structured as follows:
<type>[optional scope]: <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
The commit contains the following structural elements, to communicate intent to the consumers of your library:
- fix: a commit of the type
fix
patches gets released with a PATCH version bump - feat: a commit of the type
feat
gets released as a MINOR version bump - BREAKING CHANGE: a commit that has a footer
BREAKING CHANGE:
gets released as a MAJOR version bump - types other than
fix:
andfeat:
are allowed and don't trigger a release
If a commit does not contain a conventional commit style message you can fix it during the squash and merge operation on the PR.
Once a commit has landed on the main
branch a release will be created and automatically published to pypi
using the GitHub Action in .github/workflows/pypi.yaml which uses twine
to publish the package to pypi. Additionaly a container image based on the RaBe Python Minimal Base Image is built and published using Docker build-push Action.
This is managed in .github/workflows/release.yaml.
