streamp3 0.1.12

streaming mp3 decoder

streamp3

This library implements streaming MP3 decompression using the LAME library.

Status

Installation

First, make sure you have the LAME libraries and headers installed.

macOS

brew install lame

Debian/Ubuntu

apt install libmp3lame-dev

Install with pip

pip install streamp3

Usage

To begin decoding an MP3, construct an MP3Decoder, passing it in a binary stream or bytes object. You can then access the bit_rate, sample_rate, and num_channels properties for information about the MP3.

from streamp3 import MP3Decoder

with open('my.mp3', 'rb') as mp3_file:
    decoder = MP3Decoder(mp3_file)
    print(decoder.bit_rate, decoder.sample_rate, decoder.num_channels)

You can then read samples from the stream directly using the read() method or use the decoder as an iterator. Samples are returned as bytes objects, which are 16-bit PCM encoded, with samples interleaved across channels. This example streams an MP3 file to the system speaker using PyAudio.

import pyaudio
from streamp3 import MP3Decoder

with open('my.mp3', 'rb') as mp3_file:
    decoder = MP3Decoder(mp3_file)

    audio = pyaudio.PyAudio()
    device = audio.get_default_output_device_info()
    speaker = audio.open(output=True,
                         input_device_index=device['index'],
                         format=pyaudio.paInt16,
                         channels=decoder.num_channels,
                         rate=decoder.sample_rate)

    for chunk in decoder:
        speaker.write(chunk)

Development

Setup

We generally use pyenv to create virtual environments. The following script creates a virtual environment for the project and installs dependencies.

pyenv install 3.6.4
pyenv virtualenv 3.6.4 streamp3
pip install -r requirements.txt

Deployment

The project uses setup.py for installation and is deployed to PyPI. The project can be built for installation with the following command:

python setup.py clean --all; rm -r ./dist
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

The wheel and source distribution can then be uploaded to PyPI using twine.

twine upload --repository-url=https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*
