Getting broadcast statistics from a broadcast
Posted: 29 Sep 2021 17:33
Hello,
I am attempting to get the statistics from a broadcast using the python-vlc wrapper. I am currently able to establish a broadcast and connect a client to the broadcast, as well as get all of the relevant statistics from that client. However, I am not able to do so for the server which is broadcasting. I was wondering if anyone had a solution as to how to achieve this?
For reference, I shall post my code below.
The client:
The server:
Basically, I need to be able to get the Media() object that could result from adding a broadcast, in order to invoke vlc.libvlc_media_get_stats(Media, stats), but have no idea how to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: In particular, I'm interested in extracting the "send_bitrate", "sent_bytes" and "sent_packets" values from the server

print(updated_stats)
