Control Snapcast in Python 3. Reads client configurations, updates clients, and receives updates from other controllers.
Supports Snapcast 0.15.0.
pip install snapcast
import asyncio
import snapcast.control
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
server = loop.run_until_complete(snapcast.control.create_server(loop, 'localhost'))
# print all client names
for client in server.clients:
print(client.friendly_name)
# set volume for client #0 to 50%
client = server.clients[0]
percent = 50
loop.run_until_complete(client.set_volume(percent))
# create background task (polling)
async def testloop():
while(1):
print("still running")
#print(json.dumps(server.streams[0].properties, indent=4))
print(server.groups)
await asyncio.sleep(10)
test = loop.create_task(testloop())
# add callback for client #0 volume change
def my_update_func(client):
print(client.volume)
server.clients[0].set_callback(my_update_func)
# keep loop running to receive callbacks and to keep background task alive
loop.run_forever()Note: This is experimental. Synchronization is not yet supported. Requires GStreamer 1.0.
import snapcast.client
client = snapcast.client.Client('localhost', snapcast.client.SERVER_PORT)

client.request_start() # this blocks
