How To - Conky/Lua, Music and Cover Art - 2 Methods for 18 Apps

VastOne · 2012-09-24 01:42:36

^ If you are using rhythmbox, you would not use .conkympdrc, that is for mpd use only.

You need to use this

conky -c .conkyrhythmboxrc

As long as you have downloaded the musictools.tar.gz and extracted it, everything should work.

Good luck..!

Lateralus138 · 2012-09-24 02:23:17

Thanx, got it to pop up and started rhythmbox and everything just says Unknown and 0.00.000 etc...

VastOne · 2012-09-24 02:25:10

^ Did you setup the template also?

Run

conky -c .conkyrhythmboxrc

from terminal and post the output please...

No, I didn't see how to setup the template, I'll take a look at it. Is it like editing the regular config files?

^ In the .conkyrhythmboxrc you are running, this line is what controls everything

${execp ~/conkyRhythmbox.py --template=~/conkyRhythmbox.template}

The conkyRhythmbox.template file is already created for you. You can see it is looking for it in your /home/your username/ directory.

Please verify that it is there...

Also, did you make sure that mpris is enabled in Rhythmbox?

Yeah the files are there. I just checked Rhythmbox plugins and MPRIS DBUS is checked.

Hey VastOne I hear your the man for this music conky stuff. I'm getting the same results as Lateralus138. All instructions followed to the 'T' so to speak. It is showing the image of the file in the images directory however all else is unknown and 0.00 etc...

I am using the .conkyryhtmboxrc to start it up.

Thanks,
Jed

VastOne · 2012-10-05 23:14:57

Jed and Lateralus138:

I must apologize, I have been busy the last few days and have not had a chance to look into this. I will get on it tonight and tomorrow and get this resolved.

VastOne · 2012-10-06 00:27:34

WOW ... 71 new packages and 27.1MB for Rhythmbox!!! Man what a load.. I hope this app makes music for me rather than play it!!!

VastOne · 2012-10-06 00:47:19

The conky/python I use within this How To is the very same one that kaivalagi designed and some of you have already tested coming from the Ubuntu Thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= … count=555.

I see no way with Rhythmbox3 and specifically org.gnome.Rhythmbox3 for these scripts to function anymore. There is no way to pull metadata. My apologies for the failure, it is one that I cannot resolve due to the constant change on mpris data coming from the rhythmbox plugin.

I will edit the How To to reflect that only RhythmBox 2.9 and less will work with this How To

I would recommend any of the other 17 apps in this How To, and give the loudest shout to GMusicBrowser

Ok thanx for getting back to me, I just have Rhythmbox set up how I want it and didn't want to mess with others, but no bigs deal I'll check some others out. Thanx again.

VastOne · 2012-10-06 01:12:10

^ I could work with rhythmbox-client and bork one together to get it to work. Give me this weekend to try it. I appreciate you understanding the issues.

Naik · 2012-12-10 07:44:17

Hey VastOne!

Thanks for all the work you put into this, but i have some truble getting it to work too..
I allready fixed the symlink thing but now all i can get is "unknown" information in any of the fields added to my conky

i dont think this is because i added it into my already exsisting conky, is it?
I already got the same trouble with another python script from relax

the output is always

kai@crunchbang:~$ 
Conky: desktop window (ad) is root window
Conky: window type - normal
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2000001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown
Conky: unknown variable unknown

and the conkyvlc.py gives

kai@crunchbang:~$ python ~/conkyVlc.py --datatype=TI
Unknown

could this be a dbus related problem? I read something about dbus-vlc-config... but all i did was to set up dbus as control-interface in vlc. was that not right or not enough?

edit: setting up imagemagick and using the original conkyvlcrc did not fix it.. right now i am getting

kai@crunchbang:~$ conky -c ~/.conkyvlcrc
Conky: desktop window (ad) is root window
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2600002)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: Unable to load image '-p'
Conky: Unable to load image '-p'
Conky: Unable to load image '-p'
Conky: Unable to load image '-p'

edit: got the same "unknown" output with conkyExail...
i really start thinking there is something wrong with dbus, because since i set it as controlinterface im am no longer able to write the letter "s" while vlc is running for it only stops the playback mad

greetz, naik

Hi all,

Been playing around getting these awesome scripts working....thanks VastOne!!
I have a problem using the sphere layout. The ring is showing a quarter...image--->
I am still trying to get the hand of lua so I kind of lost here...hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on this for me.

rings.lua

--[[ RINGS with SECTORS widget
	v1.1 by wlourf (07 Jan. 2011)
	this widget draws a ring with differents effects 
	http://u-scripts.blogspot.com/2010/08/rings-sectors-widgets.html
	
To call the script in a conky, use, before TEXT
	lua_load /path/to/the/script/rings.lua
	lua_draw_hook_pre main_rings
and add one line (blank or not) after TEXT


Parameters are :
3 parameters are mandatory
name		- the name of the conky variable to display,
			  for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write name="cpu"
arg			- the argument of the above variable,
			  for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write arg="cpu0"
		  	  arg can be a numerical value if name=""
max			- the maximum value the above variable can reach,
			  for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write max=100
	
Optional parameters:
xc,yc		- coordinates of the center of the ring,
			  default = middle of the conky window
radius		- external radius of the ring, in pixels,
			  default = quarter of the width of the conky window
thickness	- thickness of the ring, in pixels, default = 10 pixels
start_angle	- starting angle of the ring, in degrees, value can be negative,
			  default = 0 degree
end_angle	- ending angle of the ring, in degrees,
			  value must be greater than start_angle, default = 360 degrees
sectors		- number of sectors in the ring, default = 10
gap_sectors - gap between two sectors, in pixels, default = 1 pixel
cap			- the way to close a sector, available values are
				"p" for parallel , default value 
				"r" for radial (follow the radius)
inverse_arc	- if set to true, arc will be anticlockwise, default=false
border_size	- size of the border, in pixels, default = 0 pixel i.e. no border
fill_sector	- if set to true, each sector will be completely filled,
			  default=false, this parameter is inoperate if sectors=1
background	- if set to false, background will not be drawn, default=true
foreground	- if set to false, foreground will not be drawn, default=true

Colours tables below are defined into braces :
{position in the gradient (0 to 1), colour in hexadecimal, alpha (0 to 1)}
example for a single colour table : 
{{0,0xFFAA00,1}} position parameter doesn't matter
example for a two-colours table : 
{{0,0xFFAA00,1},{1,0x00AA00,1}} or {{0.5,0xFFAA00,1},{1,0x00AA00,1}}
example for a three-colours table : 
{{0,0xFFAA00,1},{0.5,0xFF0000,1},{1,0x00AA00,1}}

bg_colour1	- colour table for background,
			  default = {{0,0x00ffff,0.1},{0.5,0x00FFFF,0.5},{1,0x00FFFF,0.1}}
fg_colour1	- colour table for foreground,
			  default = {{0,0x00FF00,0.1},{0.5,0x00FF00,1},{1,0x00FF00,0.1}}
bd_colour1	- colour table for border,
			  default = {{0,0xFFFF00,0.5},{0.5,0xFFFF00,1},{1,0xFFFF00,0.5}}			  

Seconds tables for radials gradients :
bg_colour2	- second colour table for background, default = no second colour
fg_colour2	- second colour table for foreground, default = no second colour
bd_colour2	- second colour table for border, default = no second colour

draw_me     - if set to false, text is not drawn (default = true or 1)
              it can be used with a conky string, if the string returns 1, the text is drawn :
              example : "${if_empty ${wireless_essid wlan0}}${else}1$endif",

v1.0 (08 Aug. 2010) original release
v1.1 (07 Jan. 2011) Add draw_me parameter and correct memory leaks, thanks to "Creamy Goodness"
                    text is parsed inside the function, not in the array of settings

^ Just plugged your script into my setup and the entire ring shows up just fine. Perhaps you could post your conkyrc.

^ Plugged everything in here and no problem with the ring. The only differences here are that I do not use Banshee (I use Clementine or gmusicbrowser) and I also do not use the text lua.

^ I have tried with Deadbeef, MPD and Gmusicbrowser as I thought it might be player related but still the same. I tried playing with the ring settings but broke the lua script properly yikes .
Thanks for taking a look DrakarNoir.

using the python method i can't get quodlibet artwork to display.

VastOne · 2013-05-06 21:19:32

^ What is the error message you see when you run it from Terminal?

dgz · 2013-05-06 21:45:50

dgz@PANGAEA:~$ conky -c ~/.conkyqlrc
Conky: desktop window (ab) is root window
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (0x3200002)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: Unable to load image '/tmp/current.cover'

not sure if i'm missing something.

dgz · 2013-05-06 21:47:28

.conkyQuodlibet.template

${color2}[--datatype=TI --maxlength=50]
${color2}[--datatype=AR --maxlength=50]
${color2}[--datatype=AL --maxlength=50]
${#777777}[--datatype=PT]|${#777777}[--datatype=LE]
${image /tmp/current.cover -p 0,140 -s 335x335}

edit- also when i put an image in there it shows up as partially transparent, which is just odd looking.
