Show us your conky

Hello

No, nothing serious, just some blood leaking into my skull and compressing my brain.
After a few treatments it's better, but it's still knocking.

Let's talk about conky.

Another config like weewx Now which one to choose

Yes indeed.
They both look great and it's not easy to decide.

P.S.
I think the moon image looks better if you use the moongiant conky script.

RadioTray NG

@loutch made a RadioTray NG conky script a long time ago.
I found his script on another forum and I'm not sure if it's the latest one.
That script works great, Googlebot sometimes doesn't find the right image, but that's to be expected.

Anyway, I decided to see if I could adjust it since I always listen to RadioTray NG.

I think I improved a few things:

1) Fixed error:

Warning: User-Agent string does not contain "Lynx" or "L_y_n_x"!

2) His script creates two images that change very often (every ten seconds Conky starts the script). Now we only have one image until the song changes.

3) I replaced Googlebot-Image/1.0 with GoogleOther-Image/1.0.

Google wrote:

GoogleOther-Image is the version of GoogleOther optimized for fetching publicly accessible image URLs. It goes under the User agent tokens; GoogleOther-Image and GoogleOther and uses the full user agent string GoogleOther-Image/1.0.

4) I added headphones (when the radio was disabled).

Of course, you can try if you use RadioTray NG.

You need to install lynx:

$ sudo apt install lynx

Create a ~/.conky/RadioTray_NG folder.

Open the folder and create the mpris-radiotray-ng file (script) inside:

#!/bin/bash

    lynx -dump "$radiotray_ng" > $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/radiotray_ng.png

  fi
  
fi  

#convert miniatureGoogleImage pochette.png

Make the script executable.

Download headphone.png and copy/paste into the ~/.conky/RadioTray_NG folder.

I created in the same folder RadioTray_NG conky with the usual configuration (like accuweather or moongiant):

${texeci 10 bash $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/mpris-radiotray-ng}\
${image $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/radiotray_ng.png -p 0,0 -s 128x128}

Done.

If @loutch feels better (hopefully) it would be interesting to see some parallel testing.

Thanks to:

The first time you run conky from the terminal, you will get an error:

sed: can't read artiste_titre_ex.txt: No such file or directory

This happens because the file artiste_titre_ex.txt has not been created yet.
Just restart conky (from terminal) and no more errors.

Now look at your HOME folder.

We've avoided constant downloads (every 8s) and now have just one image.
The image pochette.png only changes when a new song appears.

P.S.
I don't have dbus installed but I tested the script with pacmd and it works as expected.

RadioTray NG

After a few days of testing, which I did very easily because I always listen to RadioTray NG, I have my opinion.

Conclusion

All of the above scripts work quite well.
More precisely, as much as possible.

Explanation

How many times have you searched for an image on Google and immediately got the best one?
Yes, that can be a problem.
If you listen to radio stations that play only big hits and world-famous bands (artists), then the possibility that our scripts will work very well increases.

Otherwise, sometimes you can get a strange result (image), but luckily a new song is coming soon.

Note *
The most important thing is that this way you can create a script for each media player.

PackRat · 2024-06-24 00:11:49

A rather simple one -

Unfortunately, this is not entirely true.

The pacmd list-sink-inputs command does not always provide the ability to get titles and artists.
Tried Audacious and VLC but no data (title, artist).

I already wrote before that only Parole works well for me:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 52#p134152

It was also confirmed in this case.

I started the Parole player and just replaced the commands for RadioTray NG with:

  pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep media.artist | awk -F'"' '{print $2}' > $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover
  
  pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep media.title | awk -F'"' '{print $2}' >> $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover

I love listening to old blues artists who aren't world famous and this was a great test for the script.
Honestly, I got more than expected because the result is excellent.

This has been tested (again):

These are some of the results:

Indeed many look better than in FM (Nautilus).

Anyway, it was very interesting testing.

RadioTrayNG - Now Playing

This is my new script that searches for an image (album_art.png) when listening to RadioTrayNG.
The script is located in the same folder as the previous one (~/.conky/RadioTray_NG)
I'm not using Google to search for images this time.

mpris-radiotray-ng2:

Don't forget to make the script executable.

RadioTrayNG - Now Playing

When a radio station broadcasts promo messages or advertisements, of course we don't have an album art image.
Although our source has several hundreds of thousands of album covers, it may happen that the album cover image is not available.
This will never happen if you only listen to big hits and world famous bands (artists) unlike me.

So I improved my script a bit and tried to predict these possibilities.

mpris-radiotray-ng2:

#!/bin/bash


  test1=$(pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep -A 2 'Radiotray-NG' | awk 'END{print}' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/media.title = "//' | sed 's/"//g' | awk -F' - ' '{print $1}' | sed 's/\\//g' | sed 's/é/e/g')
  test2=$(pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep -A 2 'Radiotray-NG' | awk 'END{print}' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/media.title = "//' | sed 's/"//g' | awk -F' - ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/\\//g')
  
  if [[ "$test1" == "$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover-old)" && "$test2" == "$(sed -n '2p' $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover-old)"  ]]; then
  
    exit 0
   
  fi
  
  echo $test1 > $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover
  echo $test2 >> $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover
  
  
  cp $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover-old
  
  if [[ "$test1" == "" && "$test2" == ""  ]]; then
 
     cp $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/headphone.png $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.png
   
  else

    artist=$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover-old | sed 's/ /%20/g' | sed -e 's/$/%20-&/' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')
  
    song=$(sed -n '2p' $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/cover-old | sed 's/ /%20/g' | sed -e 's/$/\&size=medium&/' | sed 's/^/%20&/' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')    
  
    curl -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0' -o $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/image "https://aaaas.deno.dev?query=$artist$song"
  
    album_art=$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/image | sed 's/{"image"://' | sed 's/}//' | sed 's/{//' | sed -e 's/.*"\(.*\)".*/\1/')
    
    if [[ "$album_art" == "" ]]; then
    
        cp $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/not-available.png $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.png
      
     else
      
        curl "$album_art" --output $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.png
        cat /dev/null > $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/image
    
    fi  
  
  fi

You will need the image not-available.png located in the same folder (~/.conky/RadioTray_NG) and you can download it here:

This is what RadioTrayNG conky looks like now:

Annika Chambers - Stand Up
Ronnie Baker Brooks - Doing Too Much
Charlie Musselwhite - Blues Up The River
Robert Cray - Track 14
Promo

P.S.
If I change the code in the future, I'll just edit this post and let you know with a link.

EDIT
Sometimes radio stations use double quotes in the title and this can be a problem for the script to find the album cover image.
The script has been updated.

Testing:

Artist: George "Harmonica" Smith
Album: "Now You Can Talk About Me"
Song: Astatic Stomp

The script works as expected and the album cover is found.

Hello

@ marens

As I'm using a lua script to display the album_art and I need a real .png for that, I've added this before the first fi, otherwise the album_art won't be displayed in the conky.

convert $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.png $HOME/.conky/radiotrayng/pochette.png

Now it work great.

^ The source I use always comes out in .jpeg format.
It also works in conky.

It could look like this:

        curl "$album_art" --output $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.jpeg
        cat /dev/null > $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/image

If needed for your lua script, you can always add:

convert $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.jpeg $HOME/.conky/radiotrayng/pochette.png
