How can I receive http audio streams in Matlab?

3 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
I used to put the URL (ex: http://192.168.1.23:8000/stream.m3u) for the audio stream into Simulink Multimedia File Reader "File Name" parameter but this no longer functions. Is there a new way of getting streaming audio into a Simulink model? Is there a function that allows me to receive http streams in a Matlab script?

Interesting test.
On Mac, Matlab R2021a playing a FLAC or WAV file from my local drive will read on the dsp.AudioFileReader, but MP3 and M4A will not (fails as "unsupported file"). Streaming from the web, FLAC, MP3, AAC, or OPUS streams will not play at all. Doesn't seem like dsp.AudioFileReader is very useful on Mac.
On Windows, Matlab R2021a plays FLAC, WAV, MP3, and M4A files that were tested. Streaming only works on MP3 format streams.

I'm trying to receive multiple HTTP streams to mix them in a multichannel output. Like:
fileName1 = "live Stream 1"
afr1 = dsp.AudioFileReader(fileName1);
fileName2 = "live Stream 2"
afr2 = dsp.AudioFileReader(fileName2);
adw = audioDeviceWriter('SampleRate', 48000,...
'Driver','ASIO',...
'Device','default',...
'BufferSize', 32,...
'BitDepth','24-bit integer',...
'ChannelMappingSource', 'property',...
'ChannelMapping',1:4);
setup(adw ,zeros(afr1.SamplesPerFrame,4))
tic
while ~isDone(afr) && toc<60
audio = [afr1() afr2()];
adw(audio);
end
release(afr1);
release(afr2);
release(adw);
and this works fine, just a a bit slow before it starts playing. Anyway, if I try to add more streams the script becomes unresponsive, and it exits reporting this:
Error using AudioFileReader
Could not add the data source to the filter graph.
I've tried to pin pot the problem, and my last guess is in that the several http requests create a too long packets waiting.
Do you have any suggestion on this issue?
Thanks

Assuming you need to Process Audio file in your Simulink model:
The “From Multimedia Fileblock accepts the audio files which have extensions such as
.wav, .wma, .avi, .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .mp3, .au, .snd, .mp4, .m4a, .flac, .ogg
So if you need to access web based data use following function in MATLAB
webread(url)
And then you can access the data in Simulink using “From Workspace” block and can process it further.
You can refer to below documentation link for more details on how to use “webread” function.

Thanks for the input Urmila,
Looks like webread will only work for file with a fixed filesize download (picture, web page data, image). I am trying to receive live a live audio stream which has no end. Maybe I am missing something here. I am using this URL for a test: "http://70.38.12.44:8100/stream"

Hi Richard,
did you found a workaround for getting the live audio stream with webread?
thanks
Massimo
