Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

lol thanks kyte and geoisis...speaking of doing here http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/299 is similar artist support, returns a list of the top 5 similar artists if you launch with --similar. Takes a couple seconds to pull the list so try it and see if you like it or not. Sadly no lyrics through lastfm though.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

Hi Iggykoopa

Well, I'm learning some stuff.  I had seen the term chmod, I now know what it means.  Same for subversion, it is installed and I did the svn checkout.

I'm not using mpd.

I got down to the command "sudo python setup.py install.

I looked the command up and kind of understand what it is supposed to do, however, I only have one folder labeled "python"..  the path is :

usr/share/python.

In it is a folder named runtime.d

There are two document pages labled debian_defaults and python.mk

and a white python script named pyversions.py.

When I open a terminal as root in python folder and type: setup.py install

I get the message: bash: setup.py: command not found.

So apparently I'm in the wrong place or don't understand the command....which is.........understandable for me! smile

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

I cannot get an image for the life of me. Even compiled conky with imlib support. I have no idea what is wrong with it, script is working, just no image sad

@sirphobos

are you sure your size and position arguments are correct for the $image tag?

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

Ahhhhhhhh! It works hah.

I love learning big_smile

I just kind of gritted my teeth and used my limited knowledge of how Python works, and what it needs to run (i am just starting to teach myself python) so it turns out I was missing some dependencies, like python-decorator, etc.

Fanfreakingtastic!

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

sorry kyte, I should have mentioned the commands should be run from the terminal, just go down them one by one in order. So after you do the svn checkout you wil cd (change directory) into the python-lastfm directory. From there you run the sudo python setup.py install. That will install lastfm support for python, but in the subversion version the install is broken. So you have to do the next cd (still from the python-lastfm directory) and copy two more directories to the correct location. You should be ok after that.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

Hi
I want to thank you profusely for your help, but I'm still hanging at the "sudo python setup.py install.

I made the "python-lastfm" directory in python.

But when I try to run the above command I get command not known and stuff like that.

So.... I guess I'm just flummoxed.  It may be that I've installed about no less than three pythons and twenty scripts trying to get XMMS2 to run under conky...and have totally screwed up the install. don't know.

maybe I'm not typing the commmand correctly, although I think so...

or it may be that the real pythonlastfm folder is somewhere else and I just can't find it. dunno.

Thanks again for all your help.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

I think I know what your problem is.... When you open up the terminal you will be in your home directory by default. Do the commands that I listed step by step....don't change out of your home directory...just copy and past the commands and you should be fine.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

did you run:
svn checkout http://python-lastfm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ python-lastfm
in your home directory first?

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

I had run the svn before and it ran like it did this time, only this time I did it first thing home terminal.
then cd python-lastfm went ok
sudo python setup.py install went ok
cd lastfm got there but then this is what I get from the next command:

I also tried it from a new terminal at home.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

try typing:
ls
from in that directory and see w2hat's in it. Maybe they fixed the installer and it's working right for you or something.

Also xmms2 support added here http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/300 . Tried adding exaile and banshee support but both of them were really flaky with my script.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

well maybe the installer worked right for you and you don't need the two copy steps. Try running my script that you downloaded from the pastebin manually in a terminal and see what it says(with your media player running). make sure you did chmod +x on it first. If it says something about no module mixins or no module util then we need to find where those went. If it works then your done wink

edit: if it doesn't say anything that's good, look in your home folder for .album that should be the cover art for the song you were playing.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

Hi
I did the chmox +x on it a day or so ago.
When run the script gives

bash: http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/298: No such file or directory
kyte@kyte-crunchbang:~$


There is no folder or file named ".album" in home directory.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

you need to go to the link http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/298 , towards the top it says download, click on that and save the file to your computer. Then put that file in ~/scripts , then chmod +x it....

This is why I was saying to download it....there shouldn't be a file named http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/298: you have to actually click on that link, then on the page it takes you to there is a download link...don't save page as or whatever. here is the direct link to the download if you want to right click and save as http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/?dl=300

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

Hi
Well, I had gone to the site and "downloaded" it..

This time I "saved as" "300.txt"

I particularly put it in "images".

I assume that it is to go elsewhere, so I also save it in "home".

Kyte.

Re: Images in Conky (specifically rhythmbox album art)

You need to create a directory in your home folder called scripts.

You then need to rename that file "300.txt" to "conkymusic.py"

Next, right click on it, go to permissions, and check every permission. This is the same as chmodding +x, makes the script executable.

Then right click in your home directory, and create new file, name it .album. No file extension is needed.

Then follow Iggy's steps for implementing it in conky. I don't think I can spell it out any simpler.
