Detect if media is streamiing

Hi,

I am wondering if it possible to check if serviio is streaming/playing media or if it is idle?

I am running on ubuntu and have a bash script which is scheduled to run every minute, it contains an rsync which occasionally transfers large files and IF streaming can cause the playback to suffer and jump.

I want to check if serviio is streaming something and if it is, don't run the rsync.

Thanks,

Vince

Not possible ATM

no worries, modified the script to check eth0 tx speed in kb/s, and only run sync if under 50kb/s

I think using lsof -p <Serviio pid> would be a better way. If Serviio is streaming a file, it'll show up with lsof.

Something like:

  Code:

 
lsof $(ppid serviio)


should give you the info you need when running bash. Note: when he library is updated, files may show up here as well.

cheers.

would also be nice to be able to call a script once serviio starts to stream. So can stop rsync and some less important procceses to ensure an uninterrupted playback.

I agree, with some arguments, so I can log the view on trakt.tv
