Looking at http://conky.sourceforge.net, I see that it's possible to show info on what song is currently playing in the media player, but when I tried all I can get is "MPD: 0:00 ".
I notice that it says, "must be enabled at compile." Is it, and if not, how can I, and how hard would it be?

Interesting idea for a widget. Maybe could get Pmusic shrunken and integrated into Pwidgets, Hmmmmmmmm...... Wink

Pmusic keeps info about:
- Songname in /root/.pmusic/pmusic-ffmpeg_NOW_PLAYING
- Time in /root/.pmusic/pmusic-OLD_TIME

OLD_TIME is not really old. Most often 1 second behind. I could send the actual time to another file, but does it really matter ?

This is how I added pmusic's info to conky in my puplet(lines from my conkyrc file):
Code:
${if_existing /usr/bin/pmusic_conky.sh}
Pmusic ${execi 10 pmusic_conky.sh version} $alignr${execi 2 pmusic_conky.sh progress}%
${scroll 33 ${execi 3 pmusic_conky.sh info}}
${execibar 2 pmusic_conky.sh progress}

It takes info from an script. Copy and paste the whole code to a terminal window to create it:
Code:
cat > /usr/bin/pmusic_conky.sh << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
WORKDIR="$HOME/.pmusic/tmp"
SONG="add music to playlist..."
TIME="..."
BITRATE="..."
PERCENT="0"
VERSION="...waiting..."

if [ -d $WORKDIR ];then
   if [  -f $HOME/.pmusic/pmusicrc ];then
      VERSION=`cat $HOME/.pmusic/pmusicrc | grep VERSION | sed 's/export VERSION=//g'`
   fi
   if [ "`cat $WORKDIR/pmusic-stop`" = "true" ];then
      SONG="press the play button"
   else
      if [ -f $WORKDIR/pmusic-ffmpeg_NOW_PLAYING ];then
         SONG=`cat $WORKDIR/pmusic-ffmpeg_NOW_PLAYING | head -n 1`
      fi
      if [ -f $WORKDIR/pmusic-ffmpeg_output ];then
         cat $WORKDIR/pmusic-ffmpeg_output | grep bitrate | head -n 1| sed -e 's/: /=/g' | sed -e 's/, /\n/g' | sed -e 's/ //g' | sed -e 's/00://g'> $WORKDIR/my_conky_info.txt
         . $WORKDIR/my_conky_info.txt
         BITRATE=$bitrate
         TIME=$Duration
      fi
      if [  -f $WORKDIR/pmusic-PERCENT_BAR ];then
         PERCENT=`cat $HOME/.pmusic/tmp/pmusic-PERCENT_BAR | head -n 1`
      fi
   fi
fi

case "$1" in
    info)
        echo "$SONG  $TIME  $BITRATE   "
        ;;
    progress)
   echo $PERCENT
        ;;
    version)
   echo $VERSION
        ;;
    *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {info|progress|version}"
        ;;
esac
EOF
chmod +x /usr/bin/pmusic_conky.sh


Don't use it if you have an old computer, feel free to improve it.

Groovy, but haven't really grown to like Pmusic much yet. Would it be too much to ask for one for VLC?

I have been following and using the info on this thread thanks, and a special thanks to those who take the trouble to post their config files. This is a huge help. But I am stuck now. Apparently, Conky can display the presence of unread emails using the 'new_mails' option, but I just cant figure out how to syntax it.
${colour grey}New Emails: $colour $new_mails
Stops conky from running, so I guess I am miles out. I guess a variable might be needed to tell conky where to look. I am using 4.1.1 Frugal. Can anyone help please?

Try adding the path to your mail. ie:
Code:
${new_mails /yourpathto/Mail/INBOX}


or for pop3 mail:
Code:
${color green}NewMail: $color${pop3_unseen host user pass}


of course, replace "host", "user" and "pass" with your own.

imap mail can be used by replacing "pop3_unseen" with "imap_unseen"

This solves a long term irritation I have with Seamonkey. I leave my email prog running minimised all the time, and have it set to periodically check for new mail. I have it set to play a sound when a new mail arrives, but that can be a bit sketchy on the reliability front, and of course, if I leave the area I miss it. I now have a visual indicator thanks to conky (and Trapster). I should change conkyrc so that the email indicator shows where my current wifi signal strength displays as this area of my screen is rarely obscured. This is great because it actually aids useability, and is not just eyecandy.........

Also, move xlock icon down, to above pupzip or conky will cover xlock icon.

For puppy3 nothing else is needed. For puppy 4 (dingo) libxcb and libidn are needed.

conky-1.6.1.pet
md5sum

-----------------------------

libxcb-1.0.pet
md5sum

libidn-0.6.10.pet
md5sum




Sorry for raising an old thread but everytime i click on one of those links it ask me for the password for

http://puppylinux.asia/

So how can i try the conky.pet please?? Do i have to register with someone or what???

Cheers!!

Hi,

** a friendly warning **

the conky1.7.1.1.pet will overwrite a exsisting .conkyrc file

It happened to me, too .... Rolling Eyes

Can one of the administrators or the OP be troubled to add a warning about this to the OP, please?
