# vban-cli [![uv](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astral-sh/uv/main/assets/badge/v0.json)](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) [![Ruff](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astral-sh/ruff/main/assets/badge/v2.json)](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) --- This CLI is still in an early stage of development with many more things that could be implemented. However, the commands that are implemented should be working without issues. ## Install #### With uv ```console uv tool install vban-cli ``` #### With pipx ```console pipx install vban-cli ``` The CLI should now be discoverable as `vban-cli` --- ## Configuration ### Flags ```console vban-cli --host=localhost --port=6980 --streamname=Command1 ``` ### Environment Variables example .envrc: ```env #!/usr/bin/env bash export VBAN_CLI_HOST="localhost" export VBAN_CLI_PORT=6980 export VBAN_CLI_STREAMNAME=Command1 ``` --- ## Use ### Strip Command Usage: vban-cli strip \ COMMAND [ARGS] examples: ```console vban-cli strip 0 mute true vban-cli strip 1 A1 true vban-cli strip 2 gain -18.7 ``` see `vban-cli strip --help` for more info. ##### Strip EQ Usage: vban-cli strip \ eq COMMAND [OPTIONS] examples: ```console vban-cli strip 0 eq on true ``` see `vban-cli strip eq --help` for more info. ##### Strip EQ Cell Command Usage: vban-cli strip \ eq cell \ COMMAND [ARGS] examples: ```console vban-cli strip 0 eq cell 0 on false vban-cli strip 3 eq cell 2 freq 1500 vban-cli strip 4 eq cell 5 type 5 ``` see `vban-cli strip eq cell --help` for more info. ##### Strip Comp Command Usage: vban-cli strip \ comp COMMAND examples: ```console vban-cli strip 0 comp attack 2.0 vban-cli strip 3 comp auto-makeup true ``` see `vban-cli strip comp --help` for more info. ##### Strip Gainlayer Command Usage: vban-cli strip \ gainlayer \ COMMAND [OPTIONS] [ARGS] examples: ```console vban-cli strip 0 gainlayer 0 level vban-cli strip 3 gainlayer 2 level -13.5 ``` see `vban-cli strip gainlayer --help` for more info. ### Bus Command Usage: vban-cli bus \ COMMAND [ARGS] examples: ```console vban-cli bus 0 mode tvmix vban-cli bus 1 mute true ``` see `vban-cli bus --help` for more info. ### Command Command Usage: vban-cli command COMMAND examples: ```console vban-cli command show vban-cli command restart ``` see `vban-cli command --help` for more info. ### Recorder Command Usage: vban-cli recorder COMMAND examples: ```console vban-cli recorder play vban-cli recorder pause vban-cli recorder goto "00:01:30" ``` see `vban-cli recorder --help` for more info. ### Sendtext Command Usage: vban-cli sendtext TEXT examples: *To Voicemeeter* ```console vban-cli sendtext 'Strip[0].Mute=1;Bus[0].Mono=2' ``` *To Matrix* ```console vban-cli sendtext 'Command.Version = ?' vban-cli sendtext 'Point(ASIO128.IN[1..4],ASIO128.OUT[1]).dBGain = -3.0' ``` see `vban-cli sendtext --help` for more info. --- ## Implementation Notes 1. The VBAN RT SERVICE subprotocol defines two packet structures [ident:0][ident-0] and [ident:1][ident-1]. Neither of them contain the data for Bus EQ parameters. 2. Packet structure with [ident:1][ident-1] is emitted by the VBAN server only on pdirty events. This means we do not receive the current state of those parameters on initial subscription. Therefore any commands which are intended to fetch the value of parameters defined in packet [ident:1][ident-1] will not work in this CLI. 3. Packet structure with [ident:1][ident-1] defines parameteric EQ data only for the [first channel][ident-1-peq]. 4. There doesn't appear to be any way to retrieve the current recorder status, ie, recording, playing, stopped etc. I don't see the data available in either packet structures [ident:0][ident-0] or [ident:1][ident-1]. --- ## Further Notes I've made the effort to set up the basic skeletal structure of the CLI as well as demonstrate how to combine subcommand groups with subcommand groups so more can be implemented, it just needs doing. There may be restrictions on some things however, for example, retrieving values is only possible for parameters [defined in the protocol](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/Voicemeeter-SDK/blob/3be2c1c36563afbd6df3da8436406c77d2cc1f10/VoicemeeterRemote.h#L787). Setting parameters can be done for anything possible by a string request. Shell completion scripts are available (for zsh, bash and fish) but they haven't been thoroughly tested. If there's something missing that you would like to see added the best bet is to submit a PR. You may raise an issue and if it's quick and simple to do I may (or may not) do it. --- ## License `vban-cli` is distributed under the terms of the [MIT](https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html) license.
