Amarok2 in Conky

Vipermaseg · 2009-05-17 06:08:52

Hi!

I'm trying to display the data of the actual song in amarok2 in conky.

I don't have any problem getting the common information by the command qdbus, but I still want to know the total time of the song and the reproduced portion.

Here my script:

#!/bin/bash
# amaroK info display script by eirc <eirc.eirc@gmail.com>
#
# requirements: amaroK (!)
# for Collection stats to work amarok must be using
# mySQL to store it's collection

case "$1" in

# Now Playing Info
artist) 
    str=`qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata | grep artist`
    #if (( $str )); then    
        echo ${str:0:40}
    #else
    #    str=`dcop amarok player path | gawk 'BEGIN {FS="/"} {print $(NF-1);}'`
    #    echo ${str:0:40}
    #fi
    ;;
title)  
    str=`qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata | grep title`
    #if (( $str )); then
           echo ${str:0:40}
    #else
    #    str=`dcop amarok player path | gawk 'BEGIN {FS="/"} {print $NF;}'`
    #    echo ${str:0:40}
    #fi
    ;;

progress)
    curr=`dcop amarok player trackCurrentTime` #<----- To be fixed
    tot=`dcop amarok player trackTotalTime` #<----- To be fixed
    if (( $tot )); then
        expr $curr \* 100  / $tot
    fi
    ;;
currenttime)
    tmp=`dcop amarok player trackCurrentTime` #<----- To be fixed
    min=`expr $tmp / 60`
    sec=`expr $tmp % 60`
    c=`expr $sec \< 10`
    if (($c)); then
        echo $min:0$sec
    else
        echo $min:$sec
    fi
    ;;
totaltime)
    tmp=`dcop amarok player trackTotalTime` #<----- To be fixed
    min=`expr $tmp / 60`
    sec=`expr $tmp % 60`

    if (($c)); then
        echo $min:0$sec
    else
        echo $min:$sec

As you can see, I am just trying to adapt an amarok1 script.

Thanks a lot.

Here's what I used (Python); sorry it's a bit messy:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import dbus

wdt = 25

bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj = bus.get_object('org.mpris.amarok', '/Player')
mtd = obj.get_dbus_method('GetMetadata', 'org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer')
nfo = mtd()

if nfo.has_key('title'):
        print "\n"
        print nfo['title'].center(wdt)
        if nfo['artist'] != "":         print nfo['artist'].center(wdt)
        if nfo['album']  != "":         print nfo['album'].center(wdt)

You can always get more information than what I have there. Just use any DBUS viewer (qdbusviewer is pretty nice) and you'll find out what you can display.

Thanks, it seems that the progress of the song is not displayed in dbus, so I guess that it is impossible.

Actually, it's in Player/ with method PositionGet.
It returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed.

You can get the total time from the object that GetMetadata returns under the index mtime.

Edit: quick 'n' dirty script to display the percent of the song completed:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import dbus

bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj = bus.get_object('org.mpris.amarok', '/Player')
mtd = obj.get_dbus_method('GetMetadata', 'org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer')
nfo = mtd()

if nfo.has_key('mtime') and nfo['mtime'] != 0:
    a = obj.get_dbus_method('PositionGet', 'org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer')
    b = a()
    print float(b) / float(nfo['mtime'])*100

Just use that in combination with ${execbar [script]} and you have a nice progress bar.
