twitchrealtimehandler 0.1.0

Package to handle real-time frames or audio segments from a twitch stream

Description

This package allows to extract in real-time frames or audio segments of a twitch stream as a numpy array. It heavily relies on FFmpeg to decode on-the-fly and asynchronously the stream. Then the package stocks the frames or the audio segments into a fifo.

Requirements

• FFmpeg
• python 3.7+

This code has only been tested on Ubuntu 20.04, it might requires some tweaks to make it compatible with Windows or MacOSX

Installation

Install using pip for stable release,

pip install twitchrealtimehandler

For latest development release,

pip install git+git://github.com:adrz/twitch-realtime-handler.git

Usage

from twitchrealtimehandler import (TwitchAudioGrabber,
                                   TwitchImageGrabber)
import numpy as np

audio_grabber = TwitchAudioGrabber(
    twitch_url="https://www.twitch.tv/jeanmassietaccropolis",
    blocking=True,  # wait until a segment is available
    segment_length=2,  # segment length in seconds
    rate=16000,  # sampling rate of the audio
    channels=2,  # number of channels
    dtype=np.int16  # quality of the audio could be [np.int16, np.int32, np.float32, np.float64]
    )

audio_segment = audio_grabber.grab()
audio_grabber.terminate()  # stop the transcoding

image_grabber = TwitchImageGrabber(
    twitch_url="https://www.twitch.tv/jeanmassietaccropolis",
    quality="480p",  # quality of the stream could be ["160p", "360p", "480p", "720p", "720p60", "1080p", "1080p60"]
    blocking=True,
    rate=10  # frame per rate (fps)
    )

frame = image_grabber.grab()
image_grabber.terminate()  # stop the transcoding
