Developers Wanted to implement Broadcasting/Streaming on Gui

[blub]

Hi

Tribler needs Developers which has time to can implement Broadcasting/Streaming on Gui side.
Or some Python gurus which visiting this site, please help us that Broadcasting/Streaming is implemented into Gui.

I has no Python knowledge and i cant do this.

tribler.org/trac/wiki/Tutorials/ExampleFeedSetups

This functionalities is needed on Gui for Broadcasting:
look into:

svn.tribler.org/abc/branches/mainbranch/Tribler/Tools/createlivestream.py

Code: Select all

argsdef = [('name', '', 'name of the stream'),
           ('source', '-', 'source to stream (url, file or "-" to indicate stdin)'),
           ('fileloop', False, 'if source is file, loop over it endlessly'),
           ('destdir', '.','dir to save torrent (and stream)'),
           ('bitrate', (512*1024)/8, 'bitrate of the streams in bytes'),
           ('piecesize', 32768, 'transport piece size'),
           ('duration', '1:00:00', 'duration of the stream in hh:mm:ss format'),
           ('nuploads', 7, 'the max number of peers to serve directly'),
           ('port', 7764, 'the TCP+UDP listen port'),
           ('thumb', '', 'filename of image in JPEG format, preferably 171x96'),
           ('auth', 'RSA', 'Live-souce authentication method to use (ECDSA or RSA)'),
           ('url', False, 'Create URL instead of torrent (cannot be used with thumb)')]

and for Viewing you must be able to can start the Live Stream via Link or find it on search result to can start to play the live streams.

*thinking: this would mean less work for me... I like...*

BUMP

i thinked then we get in few weeks first gui version with Broadcasting/Streaming, but seems nobody want help here.
Lots of people want more spam in this forum.

- A GUI to allow easy streaming with Tribler would attract a lot of broadcasters.

- Many people broadcasting would attract more users.

- More users would attract more downloads.

- More downloads would attract more press.

yes you are right, but Tribler developers want do it very low Priority for this feature.

Possible we must wait one Year or more.

[blub]

its bether to make this topic as sticky?

I would be willing to make a money donation - for the creation of a broadcasting GUI for tribler.

[blub]

i want it fast a possible but thinking it can take lots of month or years .

im waiting since 6 month but never implemented it.

@blub: what do you expect from the GUI? only starting a seeder with an existing sourcestream avoiding the command line tool with createlivestream.py or a complete GUI with format and codec settings, metadata and so on...?

Lots of people avoid Broadcasting via Tribler then its only commandline at the moment, ok i know some people like it commandline which want run headless Broadcasting.
First was a Basic implementation usefull then can make it later more advanced?

Mean to add for Broadcasting a own Widget on Tribler for:

1.(name) Line Edit (to show the path where is the stream file) + Button (For Browse the Path)
2.(source)Line Edit (to can set your url to the stream like 127.0.0.1:1234)
3. Start/Stop Broadcasting Button
4 (destdir) Generate the tstream file via Button
5. Can set advanced options for Broadcasting: bitrate, piecesize, duration, nuploads, port, thumb, auth, url adn more

Others:
6. Copy "tribler:channelid" link to Clipboard (not implemented yet)
7. To can use external source Streams for Broadcasting like mms/http/rtsp/ (not implemented yet)

For Playback Live Streams:

1. Can find Live Streams via Search
2. To can start play the Live Stream from Search result.
3. Can add a Live Stream from a tribler url protocol via "tribler:channelid" copy/paste a link (like friend sended me a tribler live stream link).

ok then I got it right. Yes thats more comfortable and so I wrote a little tool the day before yesterday which can do these functions exactly you described. Must say that I am no programmer pro and had to find out how python works escpecially GUI for python (Tkinter).
So atm I'm testing the tool, and its working but has still some bugs and you cannot stop the seed (and its written in German )

No problem i can German .
Seems Tribler Gui looks compilicated, i know only about wxPthon or PyGTK , PyQt..
But never i heard from Tkinter.
