So, in searching to have rhythmbox output the current track information on Conky pretty much everything pointed towards conkyRhythmbox.py -- but all of those were pretty much up until 2012 - 13. There were a few that pointed towards rhythmbox-client. However, a few also mentioned that copious amounts of time you'd spend getting all the information into conky. Check in AUR, great -- conky-colors-git, it includes conkyRhythmbox.py.
One small issue, Rhythmbox 3 uses org.gnome.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox for it's bus name. Okay -- no problem. I can find the org.gnome.Rhythmbox in the py script and change that. That doesn't help. Missing method getVolume. Check freedesktop spec for mpris, no getVolume Method, no Volume method. No point in trying to play with the script.
EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE I CAN FIND OF conkyRhythmbox.py uses the old bus. So, the two questions I'm hoping to have answered are. A) is there a script that uses the mpris bus interface and/or B) is there a better way to have conky display the rhythmbox information, such as going with rhythmbox-client?
If the client is the only way to go, I'll may have more questions (that assumes that duckduckgo fails me).
Thanks,
