RadioTrayNG  -  Now Playing

Looking for album art is not an easy job.
There is no source that has all released albums because that is impossible.

Most radio stations only publish the artist and the song (no album) and this makes things even more complicated.
Luckily, my favorite station (XRDS.fm) is an exception:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 05#p139305

Today I had a case where one letter (symbol) caused a problem:

John Németh - Memphis Grease - Her Good Lovin'

I knew that John Nemeth (as an artist) was in the archive, but I got the image not_ available.png as a result.
Of course the reason is the letter (symbol)  " é "  instead of  " e ".

Inside test1 (at the end) I added:

| sed 's/é/e/g'

After a few seconds, the expected album cover appeared:

Today I updated the script, but I won't do it again because there are too many radio stations, artists and such examples.
This post shows how to try to solve a similar case.

Re: Show us your conky

@loutch

I saw that you often use the Hotmix80  radio station:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 66#p136266

In my conky, I only use the image album_art.png, but you also have the radio station logo.
If you want, you can display the same logo in the notifications instead of the radiotray  icon.

1) Find and download the hotmix-logo.png image
2) Turn off the radio station if it is playing
3) Open ~/.config/radiotray-ng/bookmarks.json and add after "name" : line "image" : as below

			{
				"name" : "Hotmix80",
				"image" : "~/.conky/radiotray-ng/hotmix-logo.png",
				"url" : "http://..."
			},

4) Change the path and name of the logo if necessary
5) Open radiotray-ng  popup menu > Preferences > Reload Bookmarks

Done.

P.S.
Can you post the URL for Hotmix80?

Re: Show us your conky

Definitely all 12.  With seconds lines in between (am I gong too far)?

It's not possible to go too far talking conky with S11.

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=512

Thank you for the vote of confidence Packrat

Nope can be done - but I'll need some time.

We continue this conversation here.

Something simple with the numbers or a little more complex, see below for complex?

But 2000+ conkys

EDIT:   convert.lua: Actually, No not quite - has at least one error.

Conky v1.9 has a little tutorial about using lua scripts and has a commented

# TEXT

line in it:

###  LUA Settings  ##############################

#lua_load /media/5/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua

#

############################ End LUA Settings ###

the "convert.lux" used that as the start of the TEXT section even thouh it was commented:

--##  LUA Settings  ##############################

The reason for that tutorial is a reminder that you can run lua scripts two wats:
  → before the TEXT section

lua_draw_hook_pre main
lua_load /media/5/Conky/LUA/MarkW-12.lua

TEXT

→ after the TEXT section

lua_draw_hook_post main
TEXT
lua_load /media/5/Conky/LUA/MarkW-12.lua

And the results are different.

Re: Show us your conky

Hello, my friend.

I'm writing with fat fingers on a smart phone. Very awkward for old people.
Internet will probably be available to me again here in Wunderland in December.

You have 2x 'TEXT' in your conkyrc(1.9). Even if one is commented out with '#', it will still be evaluated by the lua-script. This is why the following errors occur.

Remove the '# TEXT' and you will be satisfied. The lua-script will work correctly.

unklar you old dog (friend), how are you?  I have missed you a lot.

You have misunderstood the problem.
A commented "TEXT" in a conky v1.9 has no problem at all above or even below the actual "TEXT" section start.

The problem entered when I ran "convert.lua" to convert the conky to a v1.10+ lua format.
- it converted the lua "tutorial area" above TEXT from this:

That or very similar commented section exists in over 280 conkys under /media/5/Conky that are more in other directories.

Re: Show us your conky

RadioTrayNG  -  Now Playing
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 76#p135976

I usually use a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Super + Alt + R) to enable/disable the RadioTray_NG conky.
I thought it would be nice to skip that step when I turn off radiotray-ng.

If you find it interesting, just add this to the end of the script:

  # Disable conky if radiotray-ng does not play

  sleep 0.4
  
  test3=$(pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep 'radiotray-ng')
  
  if [[ "$test3" == "" ]]; then
  
     radiotray_conky=$(pgrep -a conky | awk '/RadioTray_NG/{print $1}')
  
     kill -SIGKILL $radiotray_conky
    
  fi

Note *
Inside the awk command is the conky name (RadioTray_NG).
If you use a different name just replace it.

EDIT
When changing radio stations, conky may turn off unexpectedly.
The bug was fixed by adding sleep 0.4  (or more) at the beginning of the code.
