EDIT

Further to this I ran the command in a terminal and am posting the output below in case it helps. Also, I believe the count should be unread 'Items' and not 'Feeds'.

Thanks again for your hard work!

Also... sorry, I don't seem to able to post this output in a 'box'

6 Unread Feeds

Apologies, I left in the print statements from my debugging!

The last line is the only thing that should be output!

[martynp]

Hi,

That, of course, worked perfectly.

Thanks SO much, however, (and there is always one!) is it possible to show the unread ITEMS instead of FEEDS?

I would guess this is a fairly simply change to just count the number of unread items in each feed and output a grand total.

Of course..... it could be taken even further but the above would be wonderful!!

Thanks,

Martyn

EDIT

Actually I am wondering if it IS in fact showing unread item and you have just called them feeds in the script?

EDIT 2

As I type google reader tells me I have 31 unread items and your script is saying 19

Should be 19 feeds with unread items...does that not sound right?

I'll play some more with it at the weekend, a grand total of unread items should be possible with minimal effort

[martynp]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

At 8pm I have 32 feeds with 153 unread items.

The script is showing 40 unread feeds.

Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Martyn

I've updated the script again, attached here this time...

It now outputs unread feeds, unread items total and each feed with the unread amount of items.

In the script you'll see the following section of code:

        print "%s Unread Feeds" % unreadfeedscount
        print "%s Unread Items" % unreaditemtotalcount
        for (unreaditemcount, feedurl) in feeds:
            print "%s - %s Unread Items" % (feedurl, unreaditemcount)

To only output what you want just comment out the print statements that aren't needed. e.g. if you only want unread items it would be like this:

        #print "%s Unread Feeds" % unreadfeedscount
        print "%s Unread Items" % unreaditemtotalcount
        #for (unreaditemcount, feedurl) in feeds:
            #print "%s - %s Unread Items" % (feedurl, unreaditemcount)

Have a play and let me know where things are not adding up

We can sort out the options to pick what you want to output later on, if it works properly...

EDIT: The counts are good for me now...not sure whether it will work for you now?

New datatype option, help below:

Usage: conkyGoogleReader.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
                        username to login with
  -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
                        Password to login with
  -v, --verbose         request verbose output, not a good idea when running
                        through conky!
  -d DATATYPE, --datatype=DATATYPE
                        (default: [UI] datatype to retreive, UF (unread
                        feeds), UI (unread items), UL (unread feeds list)

Morning,

Thanks for this. In essence it works.

However, I think you have doubled the unread feeds somewhere as this morning I am showing 253 unread items and the script shows 506.

There is still a discrepancy in the number of unread feeds. My 253 unread items are in 27 feeds and the script is showing 35 as the number of unread feeds.

I can confirm that the printing of the url's and number of unread items appears to work fine.

Definately getting there. If I anything about programming I would look in the script myself as I am sure the 'doubling up' is something simple but not sure about the discrepancy in the unread feeds count.

Thanks again and I look forward to hearing back from you when you have the time.

No problem, now we have a sort of working script, it's easy to tweak it...

I've updated the attachment on the previous post, details there too

[martynp]

Hi,

Confirming the new script installed. Formatting (ie datatype) working fine but everything is still getting doubled up.

As I am watching I have 6 unread items in 5 feeds.

The script is showing 12 unread items in 10 feeds.

I have it refreshing every 60 seconds and am refreshing google reader AND grNotify at the same time to ensure accuracy.

See the attached screenshot and note the unread feed count in grNotify in the system tray. This is the correct number.
