# Install Python setuptools
$ pip install setuptools
# Install the library
$ sudo python setup.py installThe mDNS Bridge makes use of a configuration file provided by the NMOS Common Library. Please see that repository for configuration details.
On systems using systemd for service management (e.g Ubuntu >= 16.04) mdnsbridge may be run as a service. To enable the service create a symbolic link and start the service as follows:
sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/mdnsbridge.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mdnsbridge.service
sudo systemctl start mdnsbridgeAlternatively mdnsbridge may be run from a Python script. Run the following script to start the mDNS Brdige in a non-blocking manner, and then stop it again at a later point:
from mdnsbridge.mdnsbridgeservice import mDNSBridgeService
service = mDNSBridgeService()
service.start()
# Do something else until ready to stop
service.stop()It is also possible to run mDNS Bridge in a blocking manner:
from mdnsbridge.mdnsbridgeservice import mDNSBridgeService
service = mDNSBridgeService()
service.run() # Runs forever# Run the tests
