Bring Your Own Mute Button
WebSocket client and server for Midi-based mute buttons

WARNING!
There are no security measures taken at all!
Use server and client in well-known/private networks only!

The idea behind this project is, that every podcast guest can use his/her smartphone/tablet/mobile device with a recent browser as mute button.

##Server

Start server with cd SERVER/ ; python MuteServer.py

usage: MuteServer.py [-h] [-p port] [-w wsport] [--rtmidi]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help
  -p, --port=     webserver port listening on, default 8080
  -w, --wsport=   websocket port listening on, default 9000
  --rtmidi        use RtMidi instead of PortMidi

Server propagates client-url (IP and port) through Bonjour/mDNS/Zeroconf as "Mute Button Service". OS X/iOS devices can connect to client-app (mute button and admin interface) with URL http://mute.local:<port> respectively http://mute.local:<port>/admin.html for the admin interface.
