Conky + Clementine?

[GrdLock]

I recently switched over to Clementine for my mp3 player. I like it a lot, but so far I haven't been able to figure out a way to pull current track information into conky from it.

Anyone else figured something out?

Well, even though no one responded, I thought I'd post the script I got to work with Clementine incase anyone else ever comes across this.

#!/bin/bash

TRACK=`qdbus org.mpris.clementine /TrackList \
org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetCurrentTrack`

qdbus org.mpris.clementine /TrackList \
org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata $TRACK \
| sort -r | egrep "^(title:|artist:)" | sed -e "s/^.*: //g" \
| sed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ - /g' | head -c 45

This will output "song title - artist" into conky when you execi it.

Search the Ubuntu Forums for Conky Clementine and you will find the details and installation of a complete Conky Clementine python script

I would post the URL for you but I have to have 15 posts before I can do it...

Also on the page you locate there, you will find a link in my sig line for a complete install
