# Python AceStream

Python interface to interact with the AceStream [Engine](https://wiki.acestream.media/Streaming), [HTTP API](https://wiki.acestream.media/Engine_HTTP_API) and [Search API](https://wiki.acestream.media/Search_API).

## Installation

```

pip install acestream

```

## Usage

```python

import time

import subprocess

from acestream.server import Server

from acestream.engine import Engine

from acestream.stream import Stream

# Create an engine instance

engine = Engine('acestreamengine', client_console=True)

# Connect to a remote server

server = Server(host='streams.com', port=6880)

# If the remote server is not available, connect to a local server

if not server.available:

  server = Server(host='127.0.0.1', port=6878)

  # Start engine if the local server is not available

  if not server.available:

    engine.start()

    # Wait for engine to start

    while not engine.running:

      time.sleep(1)

# Start a stream using an acestream channel ID

stream = Stream(server, id='ff36fce40a7d2042e327eaf9f215a1e9cb622b56')

stream.start()

# Open a media player to play the stream

player = subprocess.Popen(['mpv', stream.playback_url])

# Wait for player to close and stop the stream

player.communicate()

stream.stop()

# Stop acestream engine

engine.stop()

```

## Search

```python

import time

import random

import subprocess

from acestream.server import Server

from acestream.engine import Engine

from acestream.search import Search

# Create an engine instance

engine = Engine('acestreamengine', client_console=True)

# Connect to a local server

server = Server(host='127.0.0.1', port=6878)

# Start engine if the local server is not available

if not server.available:

  engine.start(stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

  # Wait for engine to start

  while not engine.running:

    time.sleep(1)

# Start a search for the sport category

search = Search(server, category='sport')

search.get(page=1)

# Iterate and print search results

for result in search.results:

  print("%40s %10s %40s" % (result.name, result.bitrate, result.infohash))

# Start a random stream from the search results

stream = random.choice(search.results).stream

stream.start(hls=True, transcode_audio=True)

# Open a media player to play the stream

player = subprocess.Popen(['mpv', stream.playback_url])

# Wait for player to close and stop the stream

player.communicate()

stream.stop()

# Stop acestream engine

engine.stop()

```
