synchro.rs

This is a package that can be used to synchronize the audio across all the devices connected to a LAN.

A custom protocol will be used to swnd the data over to the client systems by the server. This protocol is under testing and developmen.

COMPLETED:

• Hello world

• Organized the codebase

TODO:

• Implement a TUI in the tui lib to serve a graphical interface for the user (Use tui-rs already imported)

• Add support for sources other than synthically generated sin waves

• Setup sinks

• Make do proper error handling

• Set up std::net (TCP) for both server and client

• Make a trait for the protocol so it can be easily implemented by other structs

• Serialize and Deserialize the protocol struct using serde.rs (already imported)

• Figure out a way to get data from a source and add that corresponding type into the protocol struct

• Document the code base

Rules to follow

• Fork the repo

• Dont push src/main.rs without concent

• If any crates need to be added into the project ask me directly or make sure noone is working on that purticular lib

Compile Instructions

• Use cargo to compile and run the Rust executable
• Change the absolute path in audio-input/CMakeLists.txt install field /home/{path}/synchro.rs/audio-input/bin
• audio-input contains input methods for extracting audio. To compile it:
  • Identify the audio service running on your device
  • Check if the service is supported by the input methods
  • These are the suppoted methhods

        + alsa
        + pulseaudio
        + portaudio
        + sndio
        + winscpa
        + fifo
    

  • Find the CMakeLists.txt in audio-input/input
  • Add the corresponding .c file into add_library()
  • Go to ../bin
  • Run cmake .. for producing the make file
  • Follow it by make to compile the files and generate the static lib
