UPDATE
Updates as follows:
- Added use_tag_image_only flag to the GetCover script, if set to true (false by default) only tag images will get used for cover art output
- 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

Hey, loving this so far
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the cover art feature working. I apologise if this has already been fixed before, but I couldn't find anything.
conkyExaile -d CA just returns a newline and conkyExaile-GetCoverart returns a host of errors when the track changes.
I'm using Gentoo (so I'm no stranger to things not working, at leastCode:jonno@capricorn ~/bin/conkyexaile $ ./conkyExaile -d CA jonno@capricorn ~/bin/conkyexaile $ ./conkyExaile-GetCoverart conkyExaile-GetCoverart - Cover art will be copied to '/tmp/exaile-coverart.jpg' * Initialising: Creating a D-Bus session... * Listening: waiting for a track change... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jonno/bin/conkyexaile/conkyExaile-GetCoverart.py", line 97, in getCoverartPath imgString = "".join(chr(byte) for byte in self.iface.GetCoverData()) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 622, in call_blocking message, timeout) DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.NameError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/service.py", line 702, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib64/exaile/xl/xldbus.py", line 489, in GetCoverData cover = covers.MANAGER.get_cover(player.PLAYER.current) NameError: global name 'player' is not defined ** Track Changed: No cover art images known, Checking for embedded images in audio file... *** Error: Begin Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jonno/bin/conkyexaile/conkyExaile-GetCoverart.py", line 70, in OnTrackChange if len(self.getCoverartImage(self.COVERART_DESTINATION)) > 0: File "/home/jonno/bin/conkyexaile/conkyExaile-GetCoverart.py", line 110, in getCoverartImage if "location" in self.props: AttributeError: Exaile_GetCoverart instance has no attribute 'props' *** Error: End * Listening: waiting for a track change...) so I had to set up from the tgz. I'm not sure if I messed something up on install; I just extracted, changed the paths in the scripts and installed anything that Python moaned about not having.
Oh, and...
Thanks for your work so far, if this is a genuine bug and not just my being stupid, I'll do what I can to helpCode:jonno@capricorn ~/bin/conkyexaile $ python --version Python 2.6.6

Hi Sporktacular
Could you tell me what version of the script and exaile you are running, I am running conkyExaile v.2.16 and Exaile v0.3.3.0-dev. Also do you actually have Exaile running when you use the script? It just looks like the services required are not available to connect to...
If I recall cover art retrieval wasn't running until this version as it only now has the coverart methods provided but I can't quite remember exactly.
I've attached a screenshot of d-feet showing the service interfaces in my version for reference (GetCoverArt is the method required). Might be an idea to install d-feet on your system and see if you see the same interfaces available for exaile, they are needed by the script.
Either method is working for me:
Although I've noticed the file naming isn't in line between the 2 methods...it needs to ideally be /tmp/cover in the getcover scripts too...Code:[user@system ~]$ conkyExaile --datatype=CA /tmp/cover [user@system ~]$ conkyExaile-GetCoverart conkyExaile-GetCoverart - Cover art will be copied to '/tmp/exaile-coverart.jpg' * Initialising: Creating a D-Bus session... * Listening: waiting for a track change... ** Track changed: Copying '/tmp/exaile-2630187a-1fed-11e0-9c1b-001a927d44a5.jpg' to '/tmp/exaile-coverart.jpg' * Listening: waiting for a track change...
Anyway, let me know more details on versions and we'll take it from there

Trying to get album art displayed as well. My first issue was in regards to a python dependency for id tags so I installed the pythoneye3d package. However I'm still not getting the desired results. Here's the terminal display:
This first call for a datatype results in a newline whereas the getcoverart appears to work until there is a track change in which I receive errors.Code:crownedzero@mobil:~$ conkyExaile --datatype=CA crownedzero@mobil:~$ conkyExaile-GetCoverart conkyExaile-GetCoverart - Cover art will be copied to '/tmp/exaile-coverart.jpg' * Initialising: Creating a D-Bus session... * Listening: waiting for a track change...

conkyExaile -V returns 2.16
exaile 0.3.2.0-0ubuntu3
Not sure if there's anymore info I can provide on this. Thanks for any responses.

I'm running exaile when I start the script, and if I understand D-Feet correctly, I've managed to find the same thing that you're showing?
My conkyExaile is v2.16 (actually says v.2.16 but I figured that's what it meant)
exaile itself is 3.2.0, which is the latest on Gentoo's Portage. I can try compiling the version you use to see if that's the issue? My Linux knowledge is pretty rudimentary so I'm sorry I can't help more.

For me, to get everything in the scripts to work the way I wanted them to, I had to move up to Exaile 0.3.3.0-dev version.

If I recall (maybe you can help here VastOne as my memory has walked out on me recently...) didn't we have discussions on this same issue with the older versions before and came to the conclusion that v0.3.2.x just didn't provide cover art info correctly? I just can't remember if it was this or one of the other many music player scriptsOriginally Posted by VastOne
I think the simple answer anyway if for all those wanting cover art support with this script to get 0.3.3.x installed on your distro's or just wait until 3.3.x is stable and not a dev version...it's working for me and VastOne on different distros (me on Arch, VastOne on a Debian derivative, #! or Ubuntu?)
