self-driving-kazoo

Silly little Python file to fill your iPacing caution laps with beautiful music.

Requirements:

• Python 3.4 or newer
• PyYAML 3.11 or newer
• m3u8 0.3.12 or newer
• mutagen 1.42.0 or newer
• Python iRacing SDK
• pygame 1.9.6 or newer

To use:

• Run pip install pyirsdk to install the Python iRacing SDK module
• Run pip install m3u8 to install the m3u8 parser module
• Run pip install mutagen to install the mutagen id3 parser module
• Run pip install -U pygame --user to install the pygame module
• Edit the "playlistLocation" variable to point to your m3u/m3u8 playlist, be sure to include the full path to the file.
• Run the iRacing program
• Run python kazoo.py to start the script
• Press Control-C to stop the script, or just close the terminal window I suppose.

Test Mode:

• If you find yourself wanting to run the script without being ingame, edit the "test" variable from False to True. This can be useful for people wanting to set audio levels or test other things prior to live use in game.

Notes:

• It works, but only under controlled testing conditions. It works for sure with ovals, unsure how it will react on road courses that do not have full course cautions.
• The code probably needs a rewrite. It did, and it was.
• It has not been tested live on iRacing yet. Works fine for ovals.
• Make sure your playlist has the absolute path to each music file, or it will not play (and will probably crash the script).
