# VBAN CMD # VBAN CMD
This package offers a Python interface for the [Voicemeeter RT Packet Service](https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/VBANProtocol_Specifications.pdf). This package offers a Python interface for the [Voicemeeter RT Packet Service](https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/VBANProtocol_Specifications.pdf). It may be used standalone or to extend the [Voicemeeter Remote Python API](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter-api-python)
It can be used standalone as well as to extend the [Voicemeeter Remote API](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter-api-python) since the two interfaces have been designed to offer the same higher level classes/methods. Not everything available in the Remote API interface is available through this one. For sending audio across a network with VBAN you will need to look elsewhere.
Only the TEXT service sub protocol and RT-Packet Service have been implemented, for sending audio across a network with VBAN you will need to look elsewhere.

Regarding fetching data (remote get), the code registers itself to the RT Packet Service every 10 seconds,
with a timeout of 15 seconds (same as streamer view app).
