Hi all

Recently I wrote a piece a software that allows you to quickly connect to KiwiSDR remotes around the world
It is based on python, so you have to install some stuff to run it (it should work on Windows/Linux/MacOS X)

What it is doing:
* fast connect from a list of <available> servers (+/- 200)
* fast switch between remotes (good for signal check)
* audio stream only
* bandwidth + AGC/MGC setting available
* update the listing by parsing kiwisdr.com/public webpage (servers listed are checked via GeoIP + port open check)
* returns the s-meter
* light CPU usage for low-power computers
* default parameters saved in config file

What it is not doing:
* real-time parameters changes
* waterfall not displayed
* and.. almost all the OpenwebRX/web interface can do

I think it could be good for signal check on different remotes, faster than opening multiple openwebRX in your web browser

(feedback, requests appreciated.)

very good job.
will the idle timeout (configured independently by each server) still apply ?
ive found an easy method to prevent the idle timeout by stopping the page script, this stops all functions except for the incoming audio.
modifying the page script also works but its not as easy and quick as simply stopping it.
this manner allows me to pass the I/Q (6Khz max BW) to software of choice such as "sdr-sharp" for the use of adjustments and plugins, other than the ability of frequency control.

Hi

I'm not sure the timeout is bypassed by the script but i think so as there is no .js scripts involved
I'm trying to fix an issue that appeared recently, i don't know why yet, but software not running and returning a
" _tkinter.TclError: already exists "
on some setups (64bits) in the python console.

It still works ok here on 32bits Win7, no updates made
python 2.7.15 has been released recently, perhaps it's the problem, I will check later

I also need some help to better code the datastream to audio output on MacOS X, it's pretty laggy the way the arrays are managed at the moment

thanks for the try

thanks for the interesting software to tinker with.
i will keep you updated with any issues/bugs i discover in the process as well as any additional features i can suggest.
interesting page you have too, linkz.

Some news

I was able to fix the issue that blocked the code run using python 2.7.15

fixed version 3.62 is now available from the project webpage

And, we test that the KiwiSDR "admin timeout setting" is bypassed by directKiwi, no restrictions applied, so.. no kicks


Regards
