autoplay udp stream - sandoz - 5th Feb, 2013 06:04 PM
i am looking for a solution to autoplay udp streams a raspberry pi receives:
i have a udp stream created with a h264 dedicated internet streamer from various lovcations. It produces an udp stream. I want the rpi to listen on a certain port 24/7 for an incoming stream, and then start to play that stream when it receives something.
Anyone got a clue how to make this work?

Hi,
You have to do a python service to achieve this.
it will wait on the stream, when stream is available, start the stream with xbmc.Player().play(url)
XBMC itself cannot do this.

time to learn :-)
Not really hard to do something like this. and python is quite easy.

never do a udp connection
but on google :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2663247/getting-a-udp-socket-program-in-python-to-accept-messages-from-a-syslog-client.
and for xbmc service :

But have lot of work now, so can't look deeper, but if you have specific question, i can try to answer.

This is a personal request and opinion: please do not disturb Belese too much as he is busy with a very important part of XBian Alpha 5. We can't release without it so every delay of his work hurts XBian.
Alternatives:
#python at freenode
#xbmc-scripting at freenode
