Re: Show us your conky

I will stay away from Wayland and use conky v 1.9.0 for as long as I can.

Re: Show us your conky

@unklar

Another piece of good news for you, maybe even two.

1) It seems that there are no longer any problems with image sharpness on the Radio Swiss Pop website
2) The new script (audacious-stream-swiss-pop) can also use RadioTray-NG with minor changes (test1, test2, test3, paths...)

Re: Show us your conky

Je cherchais le cours actuel de l'or pour un Conky et j'ai trouvé ce site web « compatible avec Linux » : https://www.gold.de/chartgenerator/

Il fournit une API gratuite au format json :

Cours de l'or, de l'argent, etc. gratuits – API JSON

Interface API au format JSON avec cours gratuits (or, argent, platine, palladium en euros et en dollars, taux de change EUR/USD) :

Interface :
https://api.edelmetalle.de/public.json

Remarque : toutes les données sont fournies sans garantie, aucune assistance n'est fournie pour l'intégration. La mention « © GOLD.DE » ou similaire est obligatoire.

@loutch ; @marens, pourriez-vous vérifier si ma solution peut être appliquée ainsi ? Le cours est actualisé toutes les 30 secondes.
Merci !

Re: Show us your conky

Hello

Funktioniert bei mir, habe dies nur hinzugefügt, um eine Datei zu haben, die ich überprüfen kann.

conkyrc

 ${alignc}Gold Unklar
${texeci 300 bash $HOME/.conky/Tahoe/gold/gold.sh}

     mise @ jour ${execi 300 date -d "@$(jq -r .timestamp ~/.conky/Tahoe/gold/or)" +%H:%M}
     ${execpi 6 cat $HOME/.conky/Tahoe/gold/or | jq -r '.gold_eur'} EUR/once
     ${execpi 6 cat $HOME/.conky/Tahoe/gold/or | jq -r '.gold_usd'} USD/once
     Taux de change usd-€ ${execpi 6 cat $HOME/.conky/Tahoe/gold/or | jq -r '.wechselkurs_usd_eur' | cut -c1-6}

gold.sh

#!/bin/bash

wget api.edelmetalle.de/public.json -O $HOME/.conky/Tahoe/gold/gold.json -o /dev/null
jq --raw-output . $HOME/.conky/Tahoe/gold/gold.json > $HOME/.conky/Tahoe/gold/or
exit

------------------------------------------------------------------
Works for me, just added this to get a file I can examine.

Re: Show us your conky

@unklar

Download:

$ wget "api.edelmetalle.de/public.json" -O "$HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw" -o /dev/null

Extract:

$ cat $HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw | awk -F',' '{print $2}' | awk -F':' '{print $2, "EUR/oz"}'
3254.08 EUR/oz

$ cat $HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw | awk -F',' '{print $1}' | awk -F':' '{print $2, "USD/oz"}'
3815.25 USD/oz

Conky:

...
${execpi 600 wget "api.edelmetalle.de/public.json" -O "$HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw" -o /dev/null}
${alignc}${execpi 60 cat $HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw | awk -F',' '{print $2}' | awk -F':' '{print $2, "EUR/oz"}'}
${alignc}${execpi 60 cat $HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw | awk -F',' '{print $1}' | awk -F':' '{print $2, "USD/oz"}'}
... 

EDIT

The download interval of the ${execpi 600 wget...  and  ${execpi 60 cat...  commands should be set so that they rarely overlap.
That's your job because I have no idea how often you need fresh data.

I tested 60/8.37 as an example:

...
${execpi 60 wget "api.edelmetalle.de/public.json" -O "$HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw" -o /dev/null}
${alignc}${execpi 8.37 cat $HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw | awk -F',' '{print $2}' | awk -F':' '{print $2, "EUR/oz"}'}
${alignc}${execpi 8.37 cat $HOME/.config/conky/gold/gold-raw | awk -F',' '{print $1}' | awk -F':' '{print $2, "USD/oz"}'}
...
