Raphael web source update
2024-11-03
Still alive, although sick at the moment. On one front I’ve converted my Twitch bot Raphael to use a web source to play his responses. This was accomplished by hashing the mp3 file that is created, and making the hash of the file and it’s age available when checking for new captions to display. If the hash sent with the caption doesn’t match the last hash we saw and the mp3 file is less than thirty seconds old, it will play. To keep the mp3 file from being cached by the browser I had to add page, request, and added a date time string to the request for the mp3 file. The date time on the mp3 file request may be all that is needed but it is good to cover all bases. The closed caption page calls the Raphael web server every 200 ms to check for a new caption. There is another end point that was created whose sole job is to accept new captions from the main thread file a HTTP post.
