Background
I'm working on a music player, and want any sort of audio visualizer to be part of it. I've already made a previous post specifically targeting python-vlc, but I guess not too many people know about it. Here is the post in question: How to get audio samples from python-VLC
What I need
I need a way to listen to audio output, preferably by application although it is not completely necessary. It must be a python module.
What I found
- A bunch of tutorials regarding audio input from the microphone, which is NOT what I need
- Two
swhardware.comtutorials with audio visualizers- https://swharden.com/blog/2016-07-19-realtime-audio-visualization-in-python/
- Another one from 2013 but I can't find the link
- PyAudio tutorials also using the microphone
- Listening audio output with python
- terminatorX on Linux; it uses the microphone
- squishyball on Linux; it doesn't support all audio files
- livefft; uses pyqt4 so I couldn't even test it
Alternatives
Any python module or linux terminal that can provide a list of audio samples from any audio file. Similar to pydub.AudioSegement.get_array_of_samples()
What I don't need
- More suggestions to use pydub's
get_array_of_samples()- Pydub doesn't read the audio file correctly and quickly gets out of sync from already playing audio
- More tutorials of how to get audio from the microphone
- Answers on how to strip audio from a video file with ffmpeg
