Show us your conky

@loutch

Let's go back to my 'percentage' line:

percentage=$(echo "scale=1;$current*100/15 + 0.5" | bc | awk '{print int($1)}')

Your last screenshot shows 01:55 on the left and 04:04 on the right.
If we convert to seconds, that's 115 seconds (60+55) on the left and 244 seconds (4x60+4) on the right.

It would look like this in my percentage line:

$ echo "scale=1;115*100/244 + 0.5" | bc | awk '{print int($1)}'
47

That's the correct result.

You know I can't test, but try adding "percentage" to the script:

...
		else
            percentage=$(echo "scale=1;$POS*100/$TOTAL + 0.5" | bc | awk '{print int($1)}')
            positionTime=$(convertsec $POS)
            lengthTime=$(convertsec $TOTAL)
			length=$(($TOTAL/1000000))
			position=$(($POS/1000000))  #  ←←←←←← here  
		fi
		
vol=$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Volume)

echo $percentage
	
#    echo $length 
#    echo $position 
#   echo $positionTime 
#    echo $lengthTime

Re
For my part, I took the opposite approach.
I took Bleys' conky and tinkered with it until it picked up Spotify in progress .

For now, I have everything except the cover art.

For that, I'm using Madh93's script.

All of this gives me the following result.

I still don't understand how now.lua manages to make the exbar the right length.

Thanks again, I'll take a look at your part of the script.

Let's first go back to your execbar here:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 43#p146743

Replace:

${execbar 2, 250 expr 100 \* $(audtool --current-song-output-length-seconds) \/ $(audtool --current-song-length-seconds)}

with:

${if_match "${exec qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Metadata | grep "^mpris:length" | awk '{print $2}'}" != "0"}\
${execbar 2,250 exec echo "scale=1;$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Position)*100/$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Metadata | grep "^mpris:length" | awk '{print $2}') + 0.5" | bc | awk '{print int($1)}'}\
${else}${execbar 2,250 exec echo '0.05'}${endif}

I hope there are no typos.

Hello

Sorry don't work

this in console & this

sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")
conky: reading exec value failed (perhaps it's not the correct format?)
sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")
conky: reading exec value failed (perhaps it's not the correct format?)
sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")
conky: reading exec value failed (perhaps it's not the correct format?)
sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")
conky: reading exec value failed (perhaps it's not the correct format?)
............ect ...

without it's okay , no errors in terminal.

As expected.

Try in the terminal when conky is running (the song is playing):

echo "scale=1;$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Position)*100/$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Metadata | grep "^mpris:length" | awk '{print $2}') + 0.5" | bc | awk '{print int($1)}'

It should be the percentage for the execbar.

Re

work great in terminal & in conky .

Made a script & run it in conky with this command.

execbar 2,164 ~/.conky/conky-spotify/scripts/marens_bare.sh

MANY TANKS

^ Very nice, but not finished yet.

When the song doesn't play, then we have to divide by zero.
That's not possible.

We have to work around that in the script.

The script should look like this:

#!/bin/bash

total=$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Metadata | grep "^mpris:length" | awk '{print $2}')

if [[ "$total" != "0" ]]; then

     percentage=$(echo "scale=1;$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Position)*100/$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Metadata | grep "^mpris:length" | awk '{print $2}') + 0.5" | bc | awk '{print int($1)}')

     echo $percentage
      
   else
   
     echo '0.05'
      
fi

The command echo '0.05' is a little trick to make the execbar work properly.

EDIT

You know I can't test it, but this is also possible:

if [[ "$total" != "" ]]; then

Someone needs to point quick screenshot to another image hosting service
Your frustration with the Imgur/UK situation is well understood.
But that "someone" would have to:
1) find a suitable replacement service with an API that accepts anonymous uploads
1a) check that no forum members have had issues with that service
2) write a new upload script to use it and put it in an upgraded bunsen-utilities
3) change the menu entry to use that script
4) push a bunsen-configs upgrade which invites users to import the new menu file
All this, while in the final stages of getting the new Carbon iso ready.
Meanwhile, all we can do right now is ask users to upload their screenshots to some other service than Imgur. Many people are already doing this.
...and hope that maybe the situation will resolve itself
...or fear that the same issue will come to affect all image upload services

Just in case anyone missed it, the standard BL image upload utilities now use imgbb not imgur.
