Audio meter in video player

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello there, community!
First time poster, so I may have choose the wrong tags.

I am wondering if it would be possible to add a visual indicator (‘meter’) of the audio (if any) associated with the video stream coming from a local RTSP camera. It could come as a option in the default video component or a dedicated one.

Use cases comprehend:

  • dashboard to overview many streams: let’s say I have 12 cameras all over the building, I don’t really want to hear from every one of them, but I would like to know if there are activity;
  • baby monitor: a simple camera can become a full fledged baby monitor;
  • many other I can’t envision right now.

Bonus: a sensor associated with audio volume to trigger specific automations (e.g. notifications).

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the link!

I’m not sure if this should be a native feature or not, as probably other users have come the their own solution.

You should be able to do it using GitHub - markjay4k/Audio-Spectrum-Analyzer-in-Python: A series of Jupyter notebooks and python files which stream audio from a microphone using pyaudio, then processes it..

I was thinking of taking these libraries and making something that can change light colors.
