Live Channel Fingerprinting Tool

Introduction

  • The Live Channel Fingerprinting Tool (Download) is used for extracting and uploading features from live TV channel streams in real-time.

  • After the app is integrated, our SDK can detect your channels by recording the audio for just a few seconds in real-time.

  • We assume that this tool will be running on your server, which already has quick network access to the streams so that our system guarantees the Real-Time performance to detect the live channels.

Preparations

  • Before using this tool, you must register on our platform and log into your dashboard.

  • Sign up now for a free 14 day trial: http://console.acrcloud.com/signup

  • Create a “Live Channel” bucket and add the url of your streams into it.

  • Create a console access key pairs on account page and input this key pairs to your client.conf file

  • Input your Live Bucket Name to the client.conf file.

  • Run the stream.py

  • Create a “Live Channel Detection” project and attach the bucket which contains your chosen stream urls.

  • Then you can use our SDK to detect the current stream.

Install

How to run:

1) Download the tool.

git clone https://github.com/acrcloud/live_stream_client live_stream_client

How to update/add stream URL:

How to use the timeshifted feature?

Processing: The real-time fingerprint of the stream has not yet reached the platform.

Ready: The fingerprint of the live stream is ready for detection
