TimeSide

TimeSide is a set of server and client side components for audio-enabling web sites and applications. It includes a powerful DHTML-based interactive player, with support for time-marking.

The server side components provide generic APIs for easy transcoding, metadata embedding, sound visualization and audio analysis.

Usage:

See PythonApi, UiGuide, README and INSTALL.

A fast and short example:

import timeside

decoder = timeside.decoder.FileDecoder('/path/to/source.ogg')
grapher = timeside.grapher.Waveform()
analyzer = timeside.analyzer.MaxLevel()
encoder = timeside.encoder.WavEncoder('/path/to/output.wav')
(decoder | grapher | analyzer | encoder).run()
grapher.render(output='/path/to/image.png')
print 'Level:', analyzer.result(), analyzer.unit()

What is new in this release:

• Make Analyzer rendering more generic and easy to implement
• Analyzer : implement rendering capability for event and segment + add some more analyzer graphers
• Analyzer : refactoring the results rendering method. + Capability to use matplotlib in environnement with no display
• Decoder : Add a Live decoder to get data from the soudcard
• Decoder : add support for 96kHz sampling rate
• Encoder: live AudioSink encoder, encoder that plays the audio stream through the sounbcard
• Grapher : add a generic Class to display Analyzers through their 'render' method. Add the new grapher file
• Grapher : add a generic Class to display Analyzers through their 'render' method. For now, it only support FrameValueResult analyzer
• Core : add a condition to catch signal only if a LiveDecoder source is used
• Various bugfixes

What is new in version 0.4.3:

• finally fix decoder leaks and de-synchronizations (thanks to piem)
• this also fixes bad variable encoder file lengths
• fix OGG and FLAC encoders (closes: #8)
• fix multi-channels streaming (closes: #13)
• add support for Pillow (closes: #12)
• temporally desactivate AAC and WebM encoders (need to add some limits for them)
• WARNING : we now need to add overwrite=True to encoder kwargs instances in order to overwrite the destination file, i.e. e=Mp3Encoder(path, overwrite=True)

What is new in version 0.3.3:

• mostly a transitional developer and mantainer version, no new cool features
• but add "ts-waveforms" script for waveform batching
• fix some tests, download audio samples
• fix setup
• update README

What is new in version 0.3.2:

• move mainloop to its own thread to avoid memory hogging on large files
• add condition values to prepare running gst mainloop in a thread
• add experimental WebM encoder
• duration analysis goes to decoder.duration property
• bugfixes

Requirements:

• Python
