ArchLinux : Package support is present in the AUR. All my packages can be seen here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=kaivalagi
Ubuntu/Debian : All the script packages have now been copied into the Conky Companions PPA. Any package updates will be provided by the team through this new ppa. The ppa can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~conky-companions/+archive/ppa. To use this ppa first delete the old ppa files using this:
Code:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/m-buck* && sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conkyhardcore*
Then follow the modified first post instructions for the scripts
Intro
This is a simple script to display what is current playing in Guayadeque. The script talks to Guayadeque using dbus, and allows the outputting of track info and the use of templates...
There is a README with the install, I suggest you give it atleast a quick once over! It can be found in the installation folder, normally following the path of /usr/share/conky<scriptname>/
Basic Install
Method 1: Using apt
1) Add the repository to your OS install:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:conky-companions/ppa
* Note if you are running 9.10 or below then refer to the PPA link at the end of this post for help on installing from the ppa, good guidance can be found on the launchpad site
2) Now that is done simply run the following to update your repo cache and install the script:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install conkyguayadeque
Method 2: Using deb file
Run the .deb file available at the Conky Companions PPA site here: https://launchpad.net/~conky-compani.../ppa/+packages
Warning, this will not ensure you are kept up-to-date. Only method 1 will do that 
Method 3: Using tar.gz file
Extract all the contents of the tar.gz file to an appropriate folder, and edit the conkyGuayadeque script to point to the correct location where conkyGuayadeque.py is. The tar.gz file is available at the Conky Companions PPA site here: https://launchpad.net/~conky-compani.../ppa/+packages
Unless you are using a non-Debian based OS I don't suggest this. Users of Debian/Ubuntu flavour OS's should ideally use method 1.
Again will will not receive updates using this method. ONLY method 1 can do this for you
All further details on setup are orientated around the deb package based install, so may differ from what you choose your setup to be, if done using the tarball.
Usage Help
You can get the current help options at any time by running (change the path as necessary):
or
Code:
conkyGuayadeque --help
Code:
Usage: conkyGuayadeque [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t FILE, --template=FILE
define a template file to generate output in one call.
A displayable item in the file is in the form
[--datatype=TI]. The following are possible options
within each item: --datatype,--ratingchar. Note that
the short forms of the options are not currently
supported! None of these options are applicable at
command line when using templates.
-d DATATYPE, --datatype=DATATYPE
[default: TI] The data type options are: ST (status),
CA (coverart), TI (title), AL (album), AR (artist), GE
(genre), YR (year), TN (track number), FN (file name),
BR (bitrate k/s), LE (length), PP (current position in
percent), PT (current position in time), VO (volume),
RT (rating). Not applicable at command line when using
templates.
-r CHAR, --ratingchar=CHAR
[default: *] The output character for the ratings
scale. Command line option overridden if used in

and "0:00" for length. Command line option overridden
if used in templates.
-S, --secondsoutput Force all position and length output to be in seconds
only.
-m LENGTH, --maxlength=LENGTH
[default: 0] Define the maximum length of any
datatypes output, if truncated the output ends in
"..."
-v, --verbose Request verbose output, not a good idea when running
through conky!
-V, --version Displays the version of the script.
--errorlogfile=FILE If a filepath is set, the script appends errors to the
filepath.
--infologfile=FILE If a filepath is set, the script appends info to the
