Main Mumble object

class Mumble(host, user, port=64738, password='', certfile=None, keyfile=None, reconnect=False, tokens=[], stereo=False,debug=False)

It should be quite straightforward. debug=True will generate a LOT of stdout messages. Otherwise it should be silent in normal conditions. Reconnect should allow the library to reconnect automatically if the server disconnect it.

The tokens parameter is a list of tokens for the channels access tokens

The certfile parameter takes the path to a Mumble certificate in .pem format. To convert the .p12 certificate generated by the Mumble certificate wizard to .pem, use OpenSSL:

$ openssl pkcs12 -in PATH_TO_CERTFILE.p12 -out CERTFILE_NAME.pem -clcerts -nokeys for the cert file and

$ openssl pkcs12 -in PATH_TO_CERTFILE.p12 -out CERTFILE_NAME.pem -nocerts -nodes for the key file.

The stereo allow you to send stereo audio, only available with compatible mumble version (>1.3)

Start the library thread and the connection process

Mumble.start()

Block until the connection process is concluded.

Mumble.is_ready()

Set (in bit per seconds) the allowed total outgoing bandwidth of the library. Can be limited by the server.

Mumble.set_bandwidth(int)

Set the application name that will be sent to the server. Must be done before the start().

Mumble.set_application_string(string)

Set in second how long the library will wait for an incoming message, which slowdown the loop. Must be small enough for the audio treatment you need, but if too small it will consume too much CPU 0.01 is the default and seems to be small enough to send audio in 20ms packets. For application that just receive sound, bigger should be enough (like 0.05).

Mumble.set_loop_rate(float)

Return the current loop_rate.

Mumble.get_loop_rate()

By default, incoming sound is not treated. If you plan to use the incoming audio, you must set this to True, but then you have to get the audio out of the library regularly otherwise it will simply consume memory.

Mumble.set_receive_sound(bool)

This function return the channel the bot is located. It's a Channel Object. It's a shortcut for self.channels[self.users.myself["channel_id"]

Mumble.my_channel()

This function ask Mumble to disconnect from the server manually.

Mumble.stop()

Callbacks object

Accessible through Mumble.callbacks

Manage the different available callbacks. It is basically a dict of the available callbacks and the methods to manage them.

Callback names are in pymumble.constants module, starting with PYMUMBLE_CLBK_

  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_CONNECTED: connection succeeded
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_DISCONNECTED: Connection as been dropped
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_CHANNELCREATED: send the created channel object as parameter
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_CHANNELUPDATED: send the updated channel object and a dict with all the modified fields as parameter
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_CHANNELREMOVED: send the removed channel object as parameter
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_USERCREATED: send the added user object as parameter
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_USERUPDATED: send the updated user object and a dict with all the modified fields as parameter
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_USERREMOVED: send the removed user object and the removal event as parameters. The event contains only a session field if a user left manually, otherwise it adds an actor (person who kicked/banned), reason, and ban (True=ban, False=kick).
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_SOUNDRECEIVED: send the user object that received the sound and the SoundChunk object itself
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_TEXTMESSAGERECEIVED: send the received message
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_ACLRECEIVED: send the received acl permissions
  • PYMUMBLE_CLBK_PERMISSIONDENIED: send the information regarding what caused the action to fail. event.type corresponds to this DenyType enum.

Callbacks are executed within the library looping thread. Keep it's work short or you could have jitter issues!

Assign a function to a callback (replace the previous ones if any).

Mumble.callbacks.set_callback(callback, function)

Assign an additional function to a callback.

Mumble.callbacks.add_callback(callback, function)

Return a list of functions assign to this callback or None.

Mumble.callbacks.get_callback(callback)

Remove the specified function from the ones assign to this callback.

Mumble.callbacks.remove_callback(callback, function)

Remove all defined callback functions for this callback.

Mumble.callbacks.reset_callback(callback)

Return the list of all the available callbacks. Better use the constants though.

Mumble.callbacks.get_callbacks_list()

Users object

Accessible through Mumble.users

Store the users connected on the server. For the application, it is basically only interesting as a dict of User objects, which contain the actual information.

Where int is the session number on the server. It points to the specific User object for this session.

Mumble.users[int]

Return the number of connected users on the server.

Mumble.users.count()

Contain the session number of the pymumble connection itself.

Mumble.users.myself_session

Is a shortcut to Mumble.users[Mumble.users.myself_session], pointing to the User object of the current connection.

Mumble.users.myself

Is a shortcut to mumble_pb2.PermissionDenied.DenyType.Name(n), the associated enum name for an action denial cause. (n comes from the callback for PYMUMBLE_CLBK_PERMISSIONDENIED: event.type).

Mumble.denial_type(n)

User object

Accessible through Mumble.users[session] or Mumble.users.myself

Contain the users information and method to act on them. User also contain an instance of the SoundQueue object, containing the audio received from this user.

SoundQueue instance for this user.

User.sound

Return the value of the property.

User.get_property()

Other functiions:

User.mute() User.unmute()

User.deafen() User.undeafen()

User.suppress() User.unsuppress()

User.recording() User.unrecorfing()

Set the comment for this user.

User.comment(string)

Set the image for this user (must be a format recognized by the Mumble clients. PNG seems to work, I had issues with SVG).

user.texture(texture)

Send a message to the specific user.

user.send_text_message(message)

Send a register demand to the murmur server (you need to have a certfile

user.register()

Administration functions:

user.kick() user.ban()

You can pass a keyword argument reason= if you'd like, defaults to empty string.

SoundQueue object

Accessible through User.sound

Contains the audio received from a specific user. Take care of the decoding and keep track on the timing of the reception.

Allow stopping treating incoming audio for a specific user if False. True by default.

User.sound.set_receive_sound(bool)

Check if sound is present in this SoundQueue.

User.sound.is_sound()

Return a SoundChunk object containing the audio received in one packet coming from the server, and discard it from the list. If duration (in sec) is specified and smaller than the size of the next available audio, the split is taken care of. Do not use a non 10ms multiple as it is the basic unit in Mumble.

User.sound.get_sound(duration=None)

Return a SoundChunk object (the next one) but do not discard it. Useful to check it's timing without actually treat it yet.

User.sound.first_sound()

SoundChunk object

Received from User.sound

It contains a sound unit, as received from the server. It as several properties

Get the PCM buffer for this sound, in 16 bits signed mono/stereo little-endian 48000Hz format :

SoundChunk.pcm

Time when the packet was received.

SoundChunk.timestamp

Time calculated based on Mumble sequences (better to reconstruct the stream).

SoundChunk.time

Mumble sequence for the packet.

SoundChunk.sequence

Size of the PCM in bytes.

SoundChunk.size

Length of the PCM in secs.

SoundChunk.duration

Mumble type for the chunk (coded used).

SoundChunk.type

Target of the packet, as sent by the server.

SoundChunk.target

Channels object

Accessible through Mumble.channels

Contains the channels known on the server. Allow listing and finding them. It is again a dict by channel ids (root=0) containing all the Channel objects.

Search, starting from the root for every element a subchannel with the same name. Return the channel object or raise a UnknownChannelError exception.

Mumble.channels.find_by_tree(iterable)

Return a list of all the children objects for a channel id.

Mumble.channels.get_childs(channel_id)

Return a (nested) list of the channels above this id.

Mumble.channels.get_descendants(channel_id)

Create a channel with the given parameter. Set temporary to True to create temporary channel (The bot will automatically entered the new channel).

Mumble.channels.new_channel(parent_id, name, temporary=False)

Remove channel with the given id. Don't forget to give the bot related acl to do administration job. Using certificate and register the bot will ensure the bot can do the administration job.

Mumble.channels.remove_channel(channel_id)

Return a nested list of the channel objects above this id.

Mumble.channels.get_tree(channel_id)

Return the first channel object matching the name.

Mumble.channels.find_by_name(name)

Unlink every channels in server. So there will be no channel linked to other channel.

Mumble.channels.unlink_every_channel()

Channel object

Accessible through Mumble.channels[channel_id] or Mumble.channels.find_by_name(Name))

Contains the properties of the specific channel. Allow to move a user into it.

Return the property value for this channel.

Channel.get_property(name)

Move (or try to) a user's session into the channel. If no session specified, try to move the library application itself.

Channel.move_in(session=None)

Remove the given channel.

Channel.remove()

Send message into the specific channel.

Channel.send_text_message(message)

List all users currently in channel. After moving into a channel, it's normal to not have the list of user. Pymumble need few ms to update the list.

Channel.get_users()

Link selected channel with other channel.

Channel.link(channel_id)

Unlink one channel which is linked to the selected channel.

Channel.unlink(channel_id)

Unlink every channels which is linked to the selected channel.

Channel.unlink_all()

Rename channel with given name (str).

Channel.rename_channel(name)

Move channel inside new_parent_id (int). Use Mumble.channels.find_by_name(name).get_id() to get channel id

Channel.move_channel(new_parent_id)

Change channel position with given position (int). Smaller position will place channel in the top. Higher position will place channel in the bottom. Negative integer can also be used, and it will be in the top of positive integer.

Channel.set_channel_position(position)

Change channel max users with given max_users (int).

Channel.set_channel_max_users(max_users)

Change channel description with given max_users (str).

Channel.set_channel_description()

Ask to the server an ACL permissions object (requires bot have Write ACL permissions). This will invoke PYMUMBLE_CLBK_ACLRECEIVED. This is an async task, it don't wait the server answer, so when this function return, you don't have the ACL yet.

Channel.request_acl()

Example of usage:

def onacl(event):
	for group in event.groups:
		if event.group.name == "admin":
			print("The admin IDs are: ", [user for user in group.add])

Mumble.callbacks.set_callback(PYMUMBLE_CLBK_ACL_RECEIVED, onacl)
Mumble.channels[0].request_acl() #Request ACL for root channel

or see ACL object

Mumble.channels[0].acl.request_group_update(group_name="admin") # Raise ACLChanGroupNotExist if group doesn't exist
print("The admin IDs are: ", [user for users in Mumble.channels[0].acl.groups['admin'].add])

ACL object

Accessible through Channel.ACL

Contain the ACL (Channel Group and Channel ACL) of a specific channel. The ACL object contain two lists of ChanGroup object (groups) and ChanACL object (acls).

They are not populated by default, you need to ask them to the server with Mumble.channels[<ID>].request_acl(). This function is async, it only send the ACL requests but do not wait for the answer, so when this function return, you don't have the ACL yet. So should look for PYMUMBLE_CLBK_ACL_RECEIVED callback or wait a little. But if you want a specific group name ACL, you can use the internal function Channel.acl.request_group_update(group_name='admin')

You can access to the ACL object from the channel one mumble.channels[<ID>].acl.xxxx().

The functions to modify user list (add and/or delete) inside ACL request automatically the ACL if not populated. If the group does not exist, this will raise ACLChanGroupNotExist. If you already know which group you want to modify, using the following function without request_acl() is best practice.

Add user to include into an existent group

ACL.add_user(group_name, user_id)

Example : mumble.channels[<id>].acl.add_user('<groupe_name>', <user_id>)

Delete user from existent group

ACL.del_user(group_name, user_id)

Add User explicitly removed from this group in this channel if the group has been inherited

ACL.add_remove_user(group_name, user_id)

Delete user explicitly removed from this group in this channel if inherited

ACL.del_remove_user(group_name, user_id)

SoundOutput object

Accessible through Mumble.sound_output

Takes care of encoding, packetizing and sending the audio to the server.

Set the duration of one packet of audio in secs. Typically, 0.02 or 0.04. Max is 0.12 (codec limitations).

Mumble.sound_output.set_audio_per_packet(float)

Return the current length of an audio packet in secs.

Mumble.sound_output.get_audio_per_packet()

Add PCM sound (16 bites mono/stereo 48000Hz little-endian encoded) to the outgoing queue.

Mumble.sound_output.add_sound(string)

Return in secs the size of the unsent audio buffer. Useful to transfer audio to the library at a regular pace.

Mumble.sound_output.get_buffer_size()

Set Whisper to an specific User Session-ID

Mumble.sound_output.set_whisper(<session_id>)

Set Whisper to multiple Users

Mumble.sound_output.set_whisper([list of session_id])

Set Whisper to a specific Channel

Mumble.sound_output.set_whisper(<channel_id>, channel=True)

Remove the previously set Whisper

Mumble.sound_output.remove_whisper()
