To rewrite existing python script. Our existing python script starts an audio stream in vlc from a fixed ip address We need to add the following functionality Script 1 VLC start script It needs to start VLC when script started It needs to check if VLC is started and start it if it is not started. VLC have to run continuously VLC script It needs to open a main audio stream from a lan ip It needs to check if the stream is playing every 3 seconds and keep it open It needs to automatically switch to a secondary lan ip if the main stream cannot be started after 3 tries After 3 tries secondary stream must be started If the secondary stream is cannot be started a local playlist must be sarted. The script must automatically check every 5 min if the main audio stream is present and play it when it becomes available. In summary VLC plays main stream VLC plays secondary stream, if main stream is not available VLC plays local playlist when main and secondary stream is not available Automatically check if main stream is available and switch to main if it is. VLC Needs to : 1) The script needs to check every 3 seconds for a stream to play. 2) If there is a main stream source available it needs to play it. 3) After 3 seconds it must check again if the is a main stream to play 4) If there is a main stream already connected : Do Nothing 5) If there is no main stream : Play Secondary Stream 6) Wait 3 seconds and check again 7) If there is a main stream connected : Play main Stream 8) Wait 3 seconds and check again 9) If there is no main stream : Play Secondary Stream 10) If there is no Secondary stream : Play Local Playlist 11) Wait 3 seconds and check again 12) If there is a main stream connected : Play main Stream This must be in a continues loop
