Show us your conky

unklar · 2025-04-08 09:26:23

Thank you, @marens.
Everything is as you said.
Nevertheless, there is the error that the cover image on the desktop is not refreshed. The last generated one remains.

However, everything is OK in Thunar and in the directory. I assume this character '>>' is missing somewhere in the script.

The album_cover is empty when RadioTray is switched off.
When playing, lines 1 and 2 are present.
However, I see an error with German special characters that looks familiar to me.
A picture shows everything:

BTW, I have Radio SwissPop as station (as always )

^ Nice.

Did you set imlib_cache_size 0 (old syntax) in the configuration?
The image in Thunar must be the same as in conky.

I had a similar case and this is how I found a solution:

I never use the radiotray-ng conky when listening to local stations.

I saw the U+00e9 Unicode character in your text editor (screenshot).
This is ' é ' (French - Céline Dion).

My radiotray-ng script still managed to find a right image.

I can't see that from your screenshot.
There seem to be no errors in the terminal.

However, I am only interested in the album_art.png image that is displayed on the top left of the desktop.
Sure, it can be wrong sometimes, but a new song is coming soon.

BINGO!
@marens, you had your thumb on it.
imlib_cache I had forgotten

additionally I had to remove the 'bash' in the conky call of the script.

${texeci 10 $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/script/radiotray-ng}
${image $HOME/album_art.png -p 0,0 -s 128x128}

With the umlauts, I found the solution from @TBG/loutch in my documents:

 sed -i -e 's/\&#39;/'"'"'/g'

The problem with the RadioTray-Conky is now solved. Thank you for your constructive help and I hope to see more nice configurations of this ‘system monitor’ from you.

I have opted for the variant from @loutch with the image.lua script.

The advantage here over the image variant is that the image is displayed ‘real’. The ‘rest’ of the conky is transparent. This is why the image is blurred with 'image'.

e.g.

${image $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.png -p 0,0 -s 128x128}

compared to

${lua fDrawImage $HOME/album_art.png 0 0 166 136 0}

It is also advantageous in this case to split the conky into several conkys. This saves you having to make extensive configurations with gap_x and y, as these do not usually match the cover image.

A pleasant side effect is that picom provides the ‘round corners’ for BL carbon.

marens · 2025-04-11 12:52:20

^ I discarded that idea long ago.
It looks nice and I've already done it with ImageMagic, but some album covers are already framed (square) with fields of different colors and thicknesses.
When an album cover like this appears, you'll see how ugly it is with the rounded corners.

In the config I use own_window_colour 000A40 because my wallpaper is light blue and the headphones don't look good.

I never tried this with imagemagick because I never understood the program in this respect. So my respect if you have done that.

Here in the conky thread we experimented with the lua script variants 'draw_bg.lua' and draw-bg.lua' to get 'round corners' in the conky's. S11 will agree with me, those days will never come back.
And, if I turn off picom, the round corners are gone too...

It's not that hard.
I tested album_art.png with a white frame in my HOME folder and this is what I'm talking about.

First I created a mask.png image.
Then I got a rounded.png image.

convert -size 300x300 xc:none -draw 'roundrectangle 0,0,300,300,30,30' mask.png

convert album_art.png -matte mask.png -compose DstIn -composite rounded.png

This is the result:

So it was removed from my radiotray-ng script.

The decision is yours.

The only thing that matters to me is that the radiotray-ng script works pretty well.

marens · 2025-04-13 14:34:20

^ Thanks.
It looks nice, but some album covers with rounded corners are just plain ugly.

I'm assuming you're using an older version of my script here because I see it hasn't been updated.
Also, it is better to use User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 in curl.

Replace the lines:

 ## récupération de la pochette        
        curl "$album_art" --output $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.png

with:

 ## récupération de la pochette        
        curl -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0' -o $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/album_art.png "$album_art"

Now that you already have the ~/.conky/RadioTray_NG/mask.png image in the folder, remove this line from the script:

        convert -size 300x300 xc:none -draw 'roundrectangle 0,0,300,300,30,30' $HOME/.conky/RadioTray_NG/mask.png

P.S.
I don't use rounded corners, but I left the option for those who like it.
Let everyone choose what they want.

RadioTrayNG - Now Playing
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 38#p140138

This happened today.
Maybe it's a typo in the radio station or some 'gun' (?) character that my system font doesn't support?
I'm not sure, but...
You can see a 'non-printable' character at the end of the album_cover file (text editor) and that's why I don't have a right album_art.png image.

It's similar in notifications and the radiotray-ng popup menu:

I fixed that 'bug' by removing the 'non-printable' characters.
Add to the end of the existing code for lines test1 and test2:

test1=$( <    existing code here    > | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g')

test2=$( <    existing code here    > | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g')

After restarting the RadioTray_NG conky, the expected album_art.png image immediately appeared:

@unklar

You can also solve the 'Celine Dion' issue:

$ echo C\u00e9line Dion | sed 's/\u00e9/e/g'
Celine Dion

If needed again (similar case), you will do it yourself:

test1=$( <    existing code here    > | sed 's/"//g' | sed 's/\u00e9/e/g' | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g')

test2=$( <    existing code here    > | sed 's/"//g' | sed 's/\u00e9/e/g' | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g')

Note *
Sorry, @unklar.
I forgot that double quotes are sometimes a problem (sed 's/"//g').
See the end of the post here:

P.S.
The script was updated today.

That's best for you because German special characters are a problem.
Maybe changing the font would help.

That's easy for me, but I don't know how you'll do it:

P.S.
Thanks for posting the script for those using PipeWire instead of PulseAudio.
