This example shows how to send and receive Daily custom tracks. We will run a simple daily-python application to send an audio file with a custom track (named "pipecat") to a room. Then, the Pipecat bot will mirror that custom track into another custom track (named "pipecat-mirror") in the same room.

Get started

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the bot

Start the bot by giving it a Daily room URL.

python bot.py -u ROOM_URL

The bot will wait for the first participant to join. Then, it will mirror a custom track named "pipecat" into a new custom track named "pipecat-mirror".

Run the sender

Now, run the custom track sender. This is a simple daily-python application that opens and audio file and sends it as a custom track to the same Daily room.

python custom_track_sender.py -u ROOM_URL -i office-ambience-mono-16000.mp3

Open client

Finally, open the client so you can hear both custom tracks.

open index.html

Once the client is opened, copy the URL of the Daily room and join it. You should be able to select which custom track you want to hear.
