josepowera / new_reader

Everything is a file. Read files, multicast, udp, http(s), and stdin with just one function.

new_reader

read multicast, udp and http(s) like files.

    stdin:              cat video.ts | gumd
    files:              "/home/you/video.ts"
    http(s) urls:       "https://example.com/vid.ts"
    udp urls:           "udp://1.2.3.4:5555"
    multicast urls:     "udp://@227.1.3.10:4310"

UDP and Multicast

• for UDP and Multicast, reader will set socket.SO_RCVBUF to twice the maximum value set in the OS.
  • On OpenBSD

  sysctl net.inet.udp.recvspace

  • On Linux

  sysctl net.core.rmem_max

  • On Windows

   I have no idea.

Examples

• Files

    from new_reader import reader

    with reader("/home/you/video.ts") as data:
        fu = data.read()

• HTTP(S)

    from new_reader import reader

    with reader("https://futzu.com/xaa.ts") as data:
        fu = data.read()

• Multicast

    from new_reader import reader

    with reader("udp://@227.1.3.10:4310") as data:
        data.read(8192)

• UDP

    from new_reader import reader

    udp_data =reader("udp://1.2.3.4:5555")
    chunks = [udp_data.read(188) for i in range(0,1024)]
    udp_data.close()
