Audacious - Now Playing
...

Cool! That's very cool! Thank you very much for that. 

I have tried it out.
After different time intervals there is this curl error here:

(whenever a special character/German umlaut is to be played ?)

Re: Show us your conky

Thanks for the reply. Can anyone share me a conky config that I can start with. And also how do i install conky on Ubuntu 24.04.02.

Thanks

In a terminal:

sudo apt install conky-all

Should install conky.

A basic configuration file should install with it.

Re: Show us your conky

@unklar

Yes, that could be the reason, but we already have a solution.

  test1=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data artist | sed 's/\\u00e9/e/g' | sed 's/\\u00c4/A/g' | sed 's/\\u00e4/a/g' | sed 's/\\u00d6/O/g' | sed 's/\\u00f6/o/g' | sed 's/\\u00dc/U/g' | sed 's/\\u00fc/u/g' | sed 's/\\u1e9e/SS/g' | sed 's/\\u00df/ss/g')

  test2=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | sed 's/\\u00e9/e/g' | sed 's/\\u00c4/A/g' | sed 's/\\u00e4/a/g' | sed 's/\\u00d6/O/g' | sed 's/\\u00f6/o/g' | sed 's/\\u00dc/U/g' | sed 's/\\u00fc/u/g' | sed 's/\\u1e9e/SS/g' | sed 's/\\u00df/ss/g')

That should remove all German umlauts.
If other umlauts appear (French or anything else), just take a screenshot so I can see the album_cover  file (or use the code tag).

Enjoy.

Re: Show us your conky

Audacious - Now Playing  (Stream URL)

I forgot that Audacious has an Open URL ...  feature for listening to radio.
So I had to create an audacious-stream script in the same folder:

#!/bin/bash


  test1=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $1}' | sed 's/"//g' | sed 's/é/e/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g' | sed 's/  / /g')
  
  test2=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/"//g' | sed 's/é/e/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g' | sed 's/  / /g')
  
  if [[ "$test1" == "$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover)" && "$test2" == "$(sed -n '2p' $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover)" ]]; then
  
    exit 0
   
  fi
  
  echo $test1 > $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover
  echo $test2 >> $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover
  
  if [[ "$test1" == "" && "$test2" == ""  ]]; then
 
     cp $HOME/.conky/Audacious/headphone.png $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_art.png
   
  else

    artist=$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover | sed 's/ /%20/g' | sed -e 's/$/%20-&/' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')
  
    title=$(sed -n '2p' $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover | sed 's/ /%20/g' | sed -e 's/$/\&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 $HOME/.conky/Audacious/image "https://aaaas.deno.dev?query=$artist$title"
  
    album_art=$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/.conky/Audacious/image | sed 's/{"image":"//' | sed 's/"}//')
    
    if [[ "$album_art" == "" ]]; then
    
        cp $HOME/.conky/Audacious/not_available.png $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_art.png
      
     else
        
        curl -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0' -o $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_art.png "$album_art"
        
        convert $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_art.png $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_art.png         
        
        > $HOME/.conky/Audacious/image       
    
    fi  
  
  fi
  
#### Disable conky when turn off Audacious
  
  test3=$(ps -A | grep audacious)
  
  if [[ "$test3" == "" ]]; then
  
     audacious_conky=$(pgrep -a conky | awk '/Audacious-stream-conky/{print $1}')
  
     kill -SIGKILL $audacious_conky     
     
  fi

Note *
Make the script executable 

I also added Audacious-stream-conky:

${texeci 10 bash $HOME/.conky/Audacious/audacious-stream}\
${image $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_art.png -p 0,0 -s 128x128}

@unklar

  test1=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $1}' | sed 's/\\u00e9/e/g' | sed 's/\\u00c4/A/g' | sed 's/\\u00e4/a/g' | sed 's/\\u00d6/O/g' | sed 's/\\u00f6/o/g' | sed 's/\\u00dc/U/g' | sed 's/\\u00fc/u/g' | sed 's/\\u1e9e/SS/g' | sed 's/\\u00df/ss/g')
  
  test2=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/\\u00e9/e/g' | sed 's/\\u00c4/A/g' | sed 's/\\u00e4/a/g' | sed 's/\\u00d6/O/g' | sed 's/\\u00f6/o/g' | sed 's/\\u00dc/U/g' | sed 's/\\u00fc/u/g' | sed 's/\\u1e9e/SS/g' | sed 's/\\u00df/ss/g')

EDIT

By the way, the script from @TBG specifically about this radio stream (if it helps you. It's broken though).
...

I have always used it with 'audacious'. 

Now you can try Radio Swiss Pop  again with the Audacious (and audacious-stream  script).

Re: Show us your conky

Audacious  -  Now Playing  (Skins)

You might want to change the look of Audacious.

This is a collection of audacious skins. Most skins have been repacked and modified to work with newer versions of audacious.

https://github.com/ehaupt/audacious-skins

1) Click on the Code button. > Download ZIP
2) Right click on ~/Downloads/audacious-skins-master.zip  >  Extract Here
3) Open ~/Downloads/audacious-skins-master  folder and Copy the Skins  subfolder
4) Create ~/.local/share/audacious  folder (if it doesn't exist)
5) Open the audacious  folder and the Paste Skins  subfolder inside

Done.

Then:
Start Audacious > Settings > Winamp Classic Interface > Select style (theme) in the General Tab.

I like Winamp5:

This is what my Audacious-conky looks like with the new Audacious skin:

   

Enjoy!

Note *
If you have problems with the style (theme), just close Audacious and delete the folder ~/.config/audacious.
This will return you to the default settings.

EDIT
Fixed typo.

Re: Show us your conky

Audacious  -  Now Playing  (Skins)

Winamp5  skin looks good, but I changed the equalizer color to orange and the sharpness of the letters in the playlist for the current song.
It's easier to read.

I created a new style (theme) Winamp_EQ_SM  which is of course based on the previous one.

 

If you like it, download the Winamp_EQ_SM.wsz  skin here and copy/paste it into the ~/.local/share/audacious/Skins folder:
https://workupload.com/file/LAz48kwuLtV

EDIT
I continued working on the equalizer and made a red/blue  version.
I think it looks a little better now:

If you like this, delete the old one and download the new Winamp_EQ_SM  skin here:
https://workupload.com/file/znLf9erVZV8

Re: Show us your conky

This is about a Conky(seamod) modified by S11 from 2012.
Its configuration file was converted to syntax 1.10 and tested on Wayland/labwc.

Unfortunately, it stubbornly refused to display the rings.
Conky

apt policy conky-all
conky-all:
  Installiert:           1.22.1-1
  Installationskandidat: 1.22.1-1
  Versionstabelle:

        500 https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

on the left how it should look and on the right the result
   

The terminal did not display any errors. Finally, the debug mode was tried “- DD”

conky: '(null)' wayland session running 'labwc:wlroots' desktop

On GitHup the error message

HTTP display output disabled. Enable by recompiling with 'BUILD_HTTP' flag enabled.

is interpreted as conky calling x11, instead of wayland and it concerned plain text conky's which were not displayed. I couldn't find anything useful from lua and the rings on wayland.

While rummaging in the archive of the hard disk I found this Conky(clockmod-2014) from @wim66, which worked promptly. 

After studying these configurations, a loader.lua and the conky_clock_rings() configuration used were added to the 'seamod-conky' files.

After a few tries (I have no idea about lua     ), I finally had the BINGO experience.

I would be happy if someone could test the configuration on wayland. Especially the fact that I have to comment out the variable

-- out_to_wayland = true,

under labwc, because otherwise the Conky's will NOT appear. Thank you very much!

Re: Show us your conky

Audacious - Now Playing  ( Audacious-stream-conky )

Tonight I added some of my favorite radio stations to Audacious and created a new playlist.
During testing I saw the same bugs I had when listening to RadioTray-NG.

I replaced these lines ( ~/.conky/Audacious/audacious-stream script ):

  test1=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $1}')
  
  test2=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $2}')

With:

  test1=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $1}' | sed 's/"//g' | sed 's/é/e/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g' | sed 's/  / /g')
  
  test2=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title | awk -F' - ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/"//g' | sed 's/é/e/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//g' | sed 's/  / /g')

The script audacious-stream  has been updated:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 45#p143245

Majestic Jukebox Radio (Oldies)

Bill Haley and His Comets  -  I Got a Woman

Note *
The album covers are the same as when I listen to RadioTray-NG, but everything looks better with Audacious and the Winamp_EQ_SM skin.

OK.
I played around a bit with  Audacious-stream-conky  and here's what I got when I ran it:

Nothing special, but when I turned on Audacious:

This is my new Audacious-stream-conky:

${texeci 10 bash $HOME/.conky/Audacious/audacious-stream}\
${image $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album.png -p 0,0 -s 277x234}\
${image $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_art.png -p 55,28 -s 160x160}

If someone is using my  Winamp_EQ_SM   skin and wants to try Conky, they will need the image album.png.
I made a few, and you can choose the one you like:

I'm in a serious dilemma now.
RadioTray-NG or Audacious when listening to the radio?

Audacious - Now Playing  ( Audacious-ffmpeg-conky )

We probably all have a lot of music we've recorded over time.
I haven't recorded anything in a long time, but I keep a few folders that mostly contain MP3 files.
That's my only connection to Windows (XP) and Radio Sure from about fifteen years ago.

As you can see, most of my MP3 files have an integrated image (album art), but some do not.
I decided to try extracting and implementing it in Conky.

I did a little research and tried ffmpeg:

$ sudo apt install ffmpeg

This is the result when there is album art inside the MP3 file:

Bobby "Blue" Bland  -  Stormy Monday

This is the result when there is no album art inside the MP3 file:

Charlie Sayles  -  Mississippi Saxophone (alternate)

If anyone is interested, this is my ~/.conky/Audacious/audacious-ffmpeg  script:

#!/bin/bash


  test1=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data artist)
  
  test2=$(audtool current-song-tuple-data title)
  
  if [[ "$test1" == "$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover)" && "$test2" == "$(sed -n '2p' $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover)" ]]; then
  
    exit 0
   
  fi
  
  echo $test1 > $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover
  echo $test2 >> $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album_cover
  
  if [[ "$test1" == "" && "$test2" == ""  ]]; then
  
     rm $HOME/.conky/Audacious/ffmpeg.png  
 
     cp $HOME/.conky/Audacious/headphone.png $HOME/.conky/Audacious/ffmpeg.png
   
  else
  
    album_art=$(audtool --current-song-filename)
    
    log=$(ffmpeg -v info -i "$album_art" 2> $HOME/.conky/Audacious/log)
    check=$(cat $HOME/.conky/Audacious/log | grep Video:)
    
    if [[ "$check" == "" ]]; then
    
        rm $HOME/.conky/Audacious/ffmpeg.png
         
        cp $HOME/.conky/Audacious/not_available.png $HOME/.conky/Audacious/ffmpeg.png
      
     else
        
        rm $HOME/.conky/Audacious/ffmpeg.png
        
        ffmpeg -v error -i "$album_art" -an -c:v copy $HOME/.conky/Audacious/ffmpeg.png       
    
    fi  
  
  fi
  
#### Disable conky when turn off Audacious
  
  test3=$(ps -A | grep audacious)
  
  if [[ "$test3" == "" ]]; then
  
     audacious_conky=$(pgrep -a conky | awk '/Audacious-ffmpeg-conky/{print $1}')
  
     kill -SIGKILL $audacious_conky     
     
  fi

Note *
Don't forget to make the script executable.

This is my ~/.conky/Audacious/Audacious-ffmpeg-conky:

${texeci 10 bash $HOME/.conky/Audacious/audacious-ffmpeg}\
${image $HOME/.conky/Audacious/album.png -p 0,0 -s 276x232}\
${image $HOME/.conky/Audacious/ffmpeg.png -p 60,28 -s 160x160}

Note *
The script should work with other extensions (instead of .mp3), but I can't test it.
It would be nice if someone could confirm.

RadioTray-NG  -  Now Playing

It started exactly a year ago:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 14#p135914

I think the radiotray-ng  script takes radio listening to the next level.

For me, who loves listening to old (unknown to me) blues artists, it means a lot to be able to see them now.
Seeing album covers from 50/60 (or more) years ago and the creativity of people from that time is also an amazing experience.

Here are just a few (of many) examples:

Re: Show us your conky

^ You can check the actual brightness  using the command:

$ cat /sys/class/backlight/*/actual_brightness
10

When the brightness is reduced:

$ cat /sys/class/backlight/*/actual_brightness
8

$ cat /sys/class/backlight/*/actual_brightness
4

Re: Show us your conky

@marens a été un peu plus rapide...

Tu pourrais représenter cela avec cette ligne dans le Conky. Cependant, chez moi aussi, seule la “valeur actuelle” est affichée.

Je ne sais pas comment l'afficher dans la “barre”, si c'est d'abord via un fichier texte, ou, ...
Il me manque un peu le « film ».

${execi 60 cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness}${swapbar 10,250}

--------------------
@marens was a bit faster...

You could display it with this line in Conky. However, in my case only the ‘current value’ is displayed.

It is not clear to me now how to display this in the ‘bar’, whether first via a text file, or, ...
I'm missing the “movie”.

Re: Show us your conky

Hallo

danke für deine Hilfe, Marrens und du, wie Marens, das Ergebnis eurer Bestellung ist eine Zahl zwischen 1 und 10.

Bei mir ist es 0 und 24000.

Also müsste man ein Skript erstellen, das die 24000 in einen Prozentsatz umwandelt und diesen dann in die Leiste einträgt.

------------------------------
Hello,

Thank you for your help, Marrens and you, like Marens, the result of your order is a number between 1 and 10.

For me, it is 0 and 24000.

So you would have to create a script that converts the 24000 into a percentage and then enters it in the bar.
