Conky Banshee Python Script

[kaivalagi]

UPDATE

Updates as follows:

• Updated main script to only actually copy over found cover art when --datatype=CA is requested

Package changes can be seen here: https://launchpad.net/~conkyhardcore...source.changes

The apt packages should be available soon

[Fedik]

After updating cover art not shown.
I use code in template:
${image [--datatype=CA] -p 8,38 -s 100x100 -f 3}

If write only [--datatype=CA] shown /tmp/cover, and image is there, but cover art not shown.

Please tell what need change in my code?

[kaivalagi]

Sorry, I can't understand what your problem is? /tmp/cover is an image, yes? The script outputs /tmp/cover for the CA datatype?

Could the image variable being cached? Try adding a -n to the image variable maybe i.e.

${image [--datatype=CA] -p 8,38 -s 100x100 -f 3 -n}

I have tested the script and it creates a new /tmp/cover for each song when datatype=CA is requested and I see it on the desktop using a template...

Might help if you post your conkyrc and template

Cheers

[Fedik]

Thank you for your reply, and sorry, for bad english.
Cover art not shown, after update Script to last version.Before that everything worked.

${image [--datatype=CA] -p 8,38 -s 100x100 -f 3 -n}

did not help

/tmp/cover is an image, yes? The script outputs /tmp/cover for the CA datatype?

yes and yes, but cover art not shown in conky...

Found another way.
I change

${image [--datatype=CA] -p 8,38 -s 100x100 -f 6}

to

${image /tmp/cover -p 8,38 -s 100x100 -f 6 }

and now cover is shown

Mmmmm, working for me using this in the template:

${image [--datatype=CA] -p 36,400 -s 90x82 -n}

I think if you use /tmp/cover your image will not get refreshed by the script? --datatype=CA needs to be called to refresh it with this change...

I notice you are using -f 6 which I think should be refreshing the image after 6 redraws which I assume is 6 seconds (refresh at once per second), so if the above works for me yours should work too...could you try -n rather than -f 6 just so we can see whether it is that or not? I have never used the -f option for the image variable so can't say it works

Do not know why but image refreshed without --datatype=CA


I tried:

${image [--datatype=CA] -p 36,400 -s 90x82 -n}

and

${image [--datatype=CA]}

and without banchee template

${image ${execpi 3 conkyBanshee --datatype=CA}}

but nothing.

[kaivalagi]

Do not know why but image refreshed without --datatype=CA

I tried:... but nothing.

Are you sure you are running with the latest version, sounds well out of sync to me?

cover art in the older version would have been refreshed regardless of the datatypes requested but not now, --datatype=CA must be present to copy the song cover art file to /tmp/cover

"conkyBanshee --version" gives me "v.2.10"

Here's some proof from my console

1) No cover art file yet as no CA datatype requested:

 [USER@PC ~]$ conkyBanshee --datatype=TI
This Is What It Means
 [USER@PC ~]$ ls /tmp/cover
ls: cannot access /tmp/cover: No such file or directory

2) The file is now present, only after requesting CA datatype:

 [USER@PC ~]$ conkyBanshee --datatype=CA
/tmp/cover
 [USER@PC ~]$ ls /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 USER USER 14281 Dec 13 13:03 /tmp/cover

3) Now we change the album playing in the player...The cover art file remains unchanged, same datetime, we need a CA request for that:

 [USER@PC ~]$ conkyBanshee --datatype=TI
Secret Circles
 [USER@PC ~]$ ls /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 USER USER 14281 Dec 13 13:03 /tmp/cover

4) The file now changed due to CA request:

 [USER@PC ~]$ conkyBanshee --datatype=CA
/tmp/cover
 [USER@PC ~]$ ls /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 USER USER 15584 Dec 13 13:04 /tmp/cover

[Fedik]

hm..
Ubuntu 10.10
Banshee version - 1.9.0

X~$ conkyBanshee --version
conkyBanshee v.2.10
X~$ conkyBanshee --datatype=TI
Baby
X~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr usr 30493 2010-12-13 17:20 /tmp/cover

after waiting some time

X~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr usr 30493 2010-12-13 17:22 /tmp/cover

after track change

X~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr usr 66080 2010-12-13 17:25 /tmp/cover

I try to reinstall the Script but nothing changed.

[kaivalagi]

Are you running conky at the same time you are testing the script?

No way can called the script once have the cover art repeatedly updated over a few minutes, something else needs to call it over and over, such as conky.

It will be something to do with your setup I am sure! Try "killall conky" then "rm /tmp/cover" then play songs through banshee and see if the cover file turns up?

Other than that I am stumped, what you are suggesting doesn't fit with the way the script works standalone...

[Fedik]

Sorry, I forget disable conky.
Again:

:~$ conkyBanshee --datatype=TI
4000 Rainy Nights
:~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
ls: не вдається отримати доступ до /tmp/cover: No such file or directory
:~$ conkyBanshee --datatype=CA
/tmp/cover
:~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr usr 8865 2010-12-13 22:08 /tmp/cover

after waiting ~3 min.

:~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr usr 8865 2010-12-13 22:08 /tmp/cover

change track and again:

:~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr usr 8865 2010-12-13 22:08 /tmp/cover
:~$ conkyBanshee --datatype=CA
/tmp/cover
:~$ ls -l /tmp/cover
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr usr 162164 2010-12-13 22:13 /tmp/cover

all is well.
If write [--datatype=CA] in Banchee template I see /tmp/cover, but if ${image [--datatype=CA]} - nothing.

Ok, thank you for help.
I will use ${image /tmp/cover}
