Repurpose Lounge to replace jamulus-php?

[mcfnord]

Hi.

I rely on https://github.com/softins/jamulus-php to gather current details about every connection on every public server.

This PHP briefly connects to each server to gather each connection's username, instrument, and location.

I have considered re-implementing this by repurposing lounge.

However, I know lounge cannot connect to every server. (I wonder why?) I also have heard that the PHP code might just trigger initial connection steps, while the lounge code establishes a stream. Maybe lounge only fails in a later step. So maybe lounge's Go could replace the PHP for this essential data service.

The most valuable piece of new data I want is the "you're muted" state for every channel. I would like to identify servers where nobody can hear a new joiner. Levels are also informative, because I could probably identify silent servers.

Do you think the lounge Go could be repurposed to replace and extend jamulus-php?

• The actual Jamulus client implementation is in gojam project.

• Most connection issues are due to the server’s firewall. The official Jamulus client uses a UDP hole-punching technique, with the help of a directory, to make these server open a port for the client. gojam does support UDP hole punching by supplying a -directory argument, however, it has not been implemented in jamulus-lounge, because it is intended for use with localhost.

• Right now gojam does not provide information about muted state. However it is possible to retrieve it by implementing support for the relevant message.

• To answer your question — yes, but not in its current form, but you’d have to implement support for server list-related messages in addition to the above.
