Conky Rhythmbox Python Script

[vehemoth]

Is the problem with parsing new line characters caused by your script, conky or something else?

[vehemoth]

Can i seperate the %st (stream) part from the rest of the title when listening to internet radio

An easy way to determine whether conky has an issue or the script does is to the run the script in the command line instead of conky, and add the --verbose option on the end.

Give that a go as I am a little blind right now, you've not actually posted the errors just descriptively what you've seen...the template looks to be okay but I have not tested it.

For certain characters it is required that the UTF8 character set is configured for use in Conky. If UTF8 is not enabled you can end up seeing nonsense output. To enable UTF8 the following should be added before the TEXT section in your conkyrc file:

# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale yes

You may also want to post your conkyrc if you're still stuck

Hi people!

I'm using the following script for displaying album art:

${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=AR --nounknownoutput}
${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=TI --nounknownoutput}
${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=PT --nounknownoutput} / ${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=LE --nounknownoutput}
${exec cp "`conkyRhythmbox --datatype=CA | sed -e 's/\\\//g'`" /home/szasza/.album}${image /home/szasza/.album -p 166,810 -s 64x64}

It is working fine ... when there is an album art in Rhythmbox. If not, it displays the previous album's (or the previous previous album's) cover. How can I get it show a - let's say - "noalbum.jpg" instead, or display nothing at all?

By the way, many many thanks for your great work!

Hello
I've got a problem when dealing with album art that has utf8 characters in the filepath. "conkyRhythmbox -d CA" won't copy it.

Also is there a way to just get the path to the album art rather than copying it to the set director
Thanks

A shot in the dark, I dont use rhythmbox but do you have:

override_utf8_locale yes  # Force UTF8? requires XFT
TEXT

Set above TEXT?

Can you show a sample of the path? That might help.

Yes I do, as it displays the album text just not the image. Here's that example path
