# VBAN CMD
|
|
|
|
This python interface allows you to get and set Voicemeeter parameter values over a network.
|
|
|
|
It may be used standalone or to extend the [Voicemeeter Remote Python API](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter-api-python)
|
|
|
|
There is no support for audio transfer in this package, only parameters.
|
|
|
|
For an outline of past/future changes refer to: [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md)
|
|
|
|
## Tested against
|
|
|
|
- Basic 1.0.8.8
|
|
- Banana 2.0.6.8
|
|
- Potato 3.0.2.8
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- [Voicemeeter](https://voicemeeter.com/)
|
|
- Python 3.10 or greater
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
`pip install vban-cmd`
|
|
|
|
## `Use`
|
|
|
|
#### Connection
|
|
|
|
Load VBAN connection info from toml config. A valid `vban.toml` might look like this:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[connection]
|
|
ip = "gamepc.local"
|
|
port = 6980
|
|
streamname = "Command1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It should be placed next to your `__main__.py` file.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you may pass `ip`, `port`, `streamname` as keyword arguments.
|
|
|
|
#### `__main__.py`
|
|
|
|
Simplest use case, use a context manager to request a VbanCmd class of a kind.
|
|
|
|
Login and logout are handled for you in this scenario.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import vban_cmd
|
|
|
|
|
|
class ManyThings:
|
|
def __init__(self, vban):
|
|
self.vban = vban
|
|
|
|
def things(self):
|
|
self.vban.strip[0].label = "podmic"
|
|
self.vban.strip[0].mute = True
|
|
print(
|
|
f"strip 0 ({self.vban.strip[0].label}) mute has been set to {self.vban.strip[0].mute}"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
def other_things(self):
|
|
self.vban.bus[3].gain = -6.3
|
|
self.vban.bus[4].eq.on = True
|
|
info = (
|
|
f"bus 3 gain has been set to {self.vban.bus[3].gain}",
|
|
f"bus 4 eq has been set to {self.vban.bus[4].eq.on}",
|
|
)
|
|
print("\n".join(info))
|
|
|
|
|
|
def main():
|
|
KIND_ID = "banana"
|
|
|
|
with vban_cmd.api(
|
|
KIND_ID, ip="gamepc.local", port=6980, streamname="Command1"
|
|
) as vban:
|
|
do = ManyThings(vban)
|
|
do.things()
|
|
do.other_things()
|
|
|
|
# set many parameters at once
|
|
vban.apply(
|
|
{
|
|
"strip-2": {"A1": True, "B1": True, "gain": -6.0},
|
|
"bus-2": {"mute": True, "eq": {"on": True}},
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
main()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Otherwise you must remember to call `vban.login()`, `vban.logout()` at the start/end of your code.
|
|
|
|
## `KIND_ID`
|
|
|
|
Pass the kind of Voicemeeter as an argument. KIND_ID may be:
|
|
|
|
- `basic`
|
|
- `banana`
|
|
- `potato`
|
|
|
|

|
|
- `shutdown()` : Shuts down the GUI
|
|
- `restart()` : Restart the audio engine
|
|
- `reset()`: Applies the `reset` config. (phys strip B1, virt strip A1, gains, comp, gate 0.0, mute, mono, solo, eq false)
|
|
|
|
The following properties are write only and accept boolean values.

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Multiple parameters
|
|
|
|
- `apply`
|
|
Set many strip/bus parameters at once, for example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
vban.apply(
|
|
{
|
|
"strip-0": {"A1": True, "B1": True, "gain": -6.0},
|
|
"bus-1": {"mute": True, "mode": "composite"},
|
|
"bus-2": {"eq": {"on": True}},
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or for each class you may do:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
vban.strip[0].apply(mute: true, gain: 3.2, A1: true)
|
|
vban.bus[0].apply(A1: true)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Config Files
|
|
|
|
`vban.apply_config(<configname>)`
|
|
|
|
You may load config files in TOML format.
|
|
Three example configs have been included with the package. Remember to save
|
|
current settings before loading a user config. To set one you may do:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import vban_cmd
|
|
with vban_cmd.api('banana') as vban:
|
|
vban.apply_config('example')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will load a config file at configs/banana/example.toml for Voicemeeter Banana.
|
|
|
|
## Events
|
|
|
|
Level updates are considered high volume, by default they are NOT listened for. Use `subs` keyword arg to initialize event updates.
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import vban_cmd
|
|
opts = {
|
|
"ip": "<ip address>",
|
|
"streamname": "Command1",
|
|
"port": 6980,
|
|
}
|
|
with vban_cmd.api('banana', ldirty=True, **opts) as vban:
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `vban.subject`
|
|
|
|
Use the Subject class to register an app as event observer.
|
|
|
|
The following methods are available:
|
|
|
|
- `add`: registers an app as an event observer
|
|
- `remove`: deregisters an app as an event observer
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# register an app to receive updates
|
|
class App():
|
|
def __init__(self, vban):
|
|
vban.subject.add(self)
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `vban.event`
|
|
|
|
Use the event class to toggle updates as necessary.
|
|
|
|
The following properties are available:
|
|
|
|
- `pdirty`: boolean
|
|
- `ldirty`: boolean
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
vban.event.ldirty = True
|
|
|
|
vban.event.pdirty = False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or add, remove a list of events.
|
|
|
|
The following methods are available:
|
|
|
|
- `add()`
|
|
- `remove()`
|
|
- `get()`
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
vban.event.remove(["pdirty", "ldirty"])
|
|
|
|
# get a list of currently subscribed
|
|
print(vban.event.get())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## VbanCmd class
|
|
|
|
`vban_cmd.api(kind_id: str, **opts)`
|
|
|
|
You may pass the following optional keyword arguments:
|
|
|
|
- `ip`: str, ip or hostname of remote machine
|
|
- `streamname`: str, name of the stream to connect to.
|
|
- `port`: int=6980, vban udp port of remote machine.
|
|
- `pdirty`: boolean=False, parameter updates
|
|
- `ldirty`: boolean=False, level updates
|
|
- `timeout`: int=5, amount of time (seconds) you will wait for subscription response
|
|
- `sendtext_only`: boolean=False, set `True` if you are only interested in sending script commands (no rt packets will be received)
|
|
|
|
#### `vban.pdirty`
|
|
|
|
True iff a parameter has been changed.
|
|
|
|
#### `vban.ldirty`
|
|
|
|
True iff a level value has been changed.
|
|
|
|
#### `vban.sendtext(script)`
|
|
|
|
Sends a script block as a string request, for example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
vban.sendtext("Strip[0].Mute=1;Bus[0].Mono=1")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
note. if you are ONLY interested in sending script commands you may set sendtext_only kwarg to True
|
|
|
|
#### `vban.public_packet`
|
|
|
|
Returns a `VbanRtPacket`. Designed to be used internally by the interface but available for parsing through this read only property object.
|
|
|
|
States not guaranteed to be current (requires use of dirty parameters to confirm).
|
|
|
|
### `Errors`
|
|
|
|
- `errors.VBANCMDError`: Exception raised when general errors occur.
|
|
- `errors.VBANCMDConnectionError`: Exception raised when connection/timeout errors occur.
|
|
|
|
### `Tests`
|
|
|
|
First make sure you installed the [development dependencies](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/vban-cmd-python#installation)
|
|
|
|
Then from tests directory:
|
|
|
|
`pytest -v`
