I have been using conky for a while now, all working like a dream. Since upgrading to 9.04 though I have had some problems with displaying data about amarok. All I want is to display now playing; song and artist.

I inserted the lines '${exec dcop amarok player title} - ${exec dcop amarok player artist}' into the .conkyrc file. As i run it in terminal it displays the message 'Call failed'.

Please could I have some help with this annoying problem. My conky file is attached to this post.

P.s the reason i do not use DCOP is firstly it also does not work :evil: and secondly i am not displaying any database data and therefore do not need it.

Thanks in advance.
