Tried the above code. It gave me a full screen display with no controls so the only way out was to re-start X. It looks as though you provided a status bar and exit control, but neither displayed, album art also did not update with track change. Never simple is itzigbert wrote:This is easy to set up in PmusicDaveS wrote:OK, feature request... It would be great if the album art could be displayed on the screen in a separate window, which updates as tracks are switched, so that anytime I am just using my pc as a music supply box, dinner parties etc
Imagine you build your own preset 'Nowplaying' containg this:Store it in /usr/local/pmusic/preset.Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash set -a . $APPDIR/gui_misc HEIGHT=`xwininfo -root | grep -m 1 '\geometry' | cut -f4 -d ' ' | cut -f2 -d 'x' | cut -f1 -d '+'` WIDTH=`xwininfo -root | grep -m 1 '\geometry' | cut -f4 -d ' ' | cut -f1 -d 'x'` GUI=' <window title="Pmusic" icon-name="gtk-media-stop" default_height="'$HEIGHT'" default_width="'$WIDTH'" decorated="false"> <vbox homogeneous="true"> <vbox> <hbox homogeneous="true"> <vbox> <pixmap> <variable>ARTWORK</variable> <input file>'$HOME'/.pmusic/nowplaying_albumart.jpg</input> </pixmap> </vbox> </hbox> </vbox> '$GUI_PROGRESSBAR' </vbox> <action signal="hide">exit:Exit</action> </window>'
After starting the music playlist in the ordinary Pmusic you call your new preset from terminal:Code: Select all
pmusic -j -p NowplayingThe tagging lib in Pmusic is id3lib that lacks support of album art (correct me if I'm wrong). If you know a tiny lib that allows read/write of this, please tell me.DaveS wrote:Album either downloaded in real time or (preferably) extracted from local track tags.
