Using TS3 PHP framework in TYPO3 Extension

Question

I'm trying to write a simple extension which uses the Teamspeak3 PHP Framework (https://docs.planetteamspeak.com/ts3/php/framework/) just for showing the "Teamspeak3_Viewer_HTML" Element in the Frontend after giving the information like servername, port etc to the backend plugin.

The problem is: how to use the "external" php framework in my extension? I put the whole framework source in my extension folder, so i have typoconf/ext/myExtension/Libraries/Teamspeak3...

then I try to use it in my controller action

<?php
namespace Sc\Ts3view\Controller;
use \TeamSpeak3;

/**
 * Ts3viewController
 */
class Ts3viewController extends 
\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController
{
  /**
   * action show
   *
   * @return void
   */
  public function showAction()
  {                          
    $server = $this->settings['server'];

    $ts3_VirtualServer = TeamSpeak3::factory("serverquery://".$server["ts_query_admin"].":".$server["ts_query_password"]."@".$server["tsip"].":".$server["ts_query_port"]."/?server_port=".$server["tsport"]."&nickname=".$server["ts_query_user_nick"]."");
    $resulthtml = $ts3_VirtualServer->getViewer(new TeamSpeak3_Viewer_Html("images/viewericons/", "images/countryflags/", "data:image"));

    $this->view->assign('resulthtml', $resulthtml);
  }    
}

But in Frontend I just got an error

"Oops, an error occurred! Code: 20170527153454d1abefa8"

although I have displayErrors on. Any ideas how to use this framework in my action?

First if all, you either need to set your environment to Development or you have to set config.contentObjectExceptionHandler = 0 in your TypoScript template.

You get an exception, because the TYPO3 autoloader cannot find the classes. You need to add this to your composer autoload section:

"autoload": {
   "files": ["libraries/TeamSpeak3/TeamSpeak3.php"]
}

Or you can directly require the composer package in your root composer.json.

composer require planetteamspeak/ts3-php-framework
