argh.. not working.
I mean, done killall conky, done conky -c .conkyvlcrc, the result is no conky showing at all.
When I enter in terminal conky -c conkyvlcrc (without the stop before the word) this is what is showing
riccardo@ubuntu:~$ conky -c conkyvlcrc

I may be wrong here, but I think that should be:

conky -c ~/.conkyvlcrc &

The & will still allow errors to show.

He added it to an existing conky I think, or added info from another cony to it.

sorry, I tried in order
conky -c .conkyvlcrc
conky -c conkyvclrc (invalid file)
conky -c ~/.conkyvlcrc &
conky -c ~/conkyvlcrc &
conky -c ~/.conkyvlcrc
conky -c ~/conkyvlcrc
each time killall conky to be sure,but practically the same results, exept from when I changed some visual variables in .conkyvlcrc, this night I will format the linux partition and do from scratch everything back!

VastOne · 2012-01-03 18:56:22

I do not think there is a need to rebuild linux..

I need you to run this with a song playing in Vlc

python conkyVlc.py --datatype=CA

and post the outcome

Next try this

change in .conkyvlcrc

own_window_type normal

to

own_window_type desktop

and run the conky again

you could also try

own_window_type override

The place to change how these conky's are displayed (colors) and the image is in the conkyVlc.template

I would change these lines first

${image [--datatype=CA] -p 0,145 -s 335x335}${image ~/images/vlc.png -p 2,110 -s 30x30}

to

${image [--datatype=CA] -p 0,145 -s 235x235}${image ~/images/vlc.png -p 2,110 -s 30x30}

Just make sure Vlc is open and playing a song when you run

conky -c .conkyvlcrc

I created a new layout for GMB used as a Desktop Widget if you are interested

I am sorry RiccITA

That was supposed to be

conky -c .conkyvlcrc

VastOne · 2012-01-04 01:18:12

RiccITA,

How are things going?

I need you to try the two different settings of normal or override and see what the results are.

own_window_type desktop

or

own_window_type override

I also need to see the results of conky -c .conkyvlcrc ran from terminal.. with a song playing n Vlc

I also need confirmation that the song you are playing does in fact have a cover.jpg (or any image) in the directory of the song playing

RiccITA · 2012-01-04 07:08:53

Ok, I've finished to upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 amd64 and..conky is still not working properly! smile

These are the results of desktop
riccardo@Ubuntu-Riccardo:~$ conky -c .conkyvlcrc
Conky: desktop window (1600095) is subwindow of root window (af)
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (0x4200001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
/usr/bin/env: python2: File o directory non esistente

and override
Conky: received SIGINT or SIGTERM to terminate. bye!
riccardo@Ubuntu-Riccardo:~$ conky -c .conkyvlcrc
Conky: desktop window (1600095) is subwindow of root window (af)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x4200001)

Yes, I checked and the jpg is there.

VastOne · 2012-01-04 07:11:01

Did you remember to do this again?

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python2

RiccITA · 2012-01-04 07:40:56

yes, I copied the code from page 12!

VastOne · 2012-01-04 07:45:06

run this from terminal and post back the results please

python -V

RiccITA · 2012-01-04 09:16:28

riccardo@Ubuntu-Riccardo:~$ python -V
Python 2.7.2+

Now, when I see the black box, if I open VLC it becomes taller, if i close it it goes back to the original size.

Are you saying it is now running without this error?

/usr/bin/env: python2: File o directory non esistente

RiccITA · 2012-01-04 17:01:50

hmm no, the error is always there if I use vlc when conkyvlc is made run from terminal.
If I write python -V than it says the conky version.

VastOne · 2012-01-04 17:17:54

RiccITA

Edit conkyVlc.py .. it is in your home directory

change the first line from this

#!/usr/bin/env python2

to this

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

Save it and run .conkyvlcrc from terminal again

let me know the output of terminal

yeeee something happened!!
riccardo@Ubuntu-Riccardo:~$ conky -c ~/.conkyvlcrc
Conky: desktop window (1800095) is subwindow of root window (af)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x3400001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
SITUATION: A black windows opens in the down right corner as usual, with no text. I open VLC and the terminal starts to get crazy in a totally new way!
Unfortunately the flow is very fast and I'm not able to save all the text (if you have a way to do it teach me!
Here is a part of the text that is repeatedly flowing

calling the dbus service:argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
sh: /home/riccardo/.conkyvlc.py: not found
ERROR: Issue calling the dbus service:argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
[error repeated many times]
sh: /home/riccardo/.conkyvlc.py: not found

So I changed in conkyrc .conkyvlc.py into conkyvlc.py and I renamed .conkyvlc.py into conkyvlc.py
I opened again the terminal killing conky, black box opens up, I open vlc and the flow starts but they still say
sh: /home/riccardo/conkyvlc.py: not found
Conky: Unable to load image '-p'

I still go on, play a music in VLC and the black box shows also the album art!!
In the terminal they also add this repeated phrase
Conky: Unable to load image '/home/riccardo/images/vlc.png'
sh: /home/riccardo/conkyvlc.py: not found

the point is that I don't have such a folder, because in italian is called Immagini, but I do have one called .images (created by another conky). In both "immagini" and ".images" I do cutted the vlc.png image.

When I close the terminal the black box is still there with no info, when I open vlc with a song it start showing album art and info with the text in the pictures!

When playing music
When not playing music but VLC open
Vlc closed,no music

UPDATE
I had some problems with the capital letter of conkyVlcrc that in some file was conkyvclrc instead and this created some problems like the progress bar not working!
I also set in the conkytemplate to point to .images instead of images so that finally now it can find the picture!

After working a bit on it this is the current result, I'm very happy about it and I only have to say thanks to you!!!!
Here is the final output, perfectly working after reboot, I open VLC and it works correctly!

I just have some aesthetical issues to solve.. do you see the small boxes left to artist and album, there is also one hidden under the lenght of the album. Well, in the conkytemplate there are not, I mean is it possibile that they are configured to appear from the python.py? Or they are somehow appearing because of conky.rc?
Also, at the end of the bar there is the lenght of the album, which I cannot separate from the bar, and it appears too close to the edge, how can I put some pixels between the two?

this is the conkytemplate code, what's that [fffff] for?

${goto 20}[--datatype=TI]
${goto 20} [--datatype=AR]
${goto 20} [--datatype=AL]
${goto 20}${#FFFFFF}[--datatype=PT]${goto 45}${execibar 1 ~/conkyVlc.py --datatype=PP}${#FFFFFF}${#FFFFFF}${#FFFFFF}${goto 120}[--datatype=LE]

This also is now just single file with everything in it

Sector11 - The discussion with squentin regarding this layout and setup has initiated additional code he is developing to make the float point bar positional... Right now you have no control over where it is, but his new code will allow it...

Never met a more involved developer, and GMB has been around for 5 years ... Since Feb 2007 is the earliest changelog I can find on it...

@Sector11 - I just did a new install of GMB on a debian sid setup and everything played right out of the install... Including all the dependencies

just redo your

sudo apt-get install gmusicbrowser

and that should install gmusicbrowser 1.1.8

         $ gmusicbrowser -v
unknown option '-v'
gmusicbrowser v1.1.8 (c)2005-2011

I'm missing other stuff.
