It is not a plugin, it is not real coding ... just a simple script that
may be useful for some of you
As I wanted the name of the playing file in conky, I just wrote a small
python script to query Squeezecenter via CLI
Code:
--------------------
#! /usr/bin/python
from telnetlib import Telnet
from urllib import unquote
from time import sleep
def query(server, port, player, commands):
tn = Telnet(server, port)
for command in commands:
tn.write("%s %s ?\n" % (player, command))
sleep(0.2)
feedback = tn.read_very_eager().split('\n')
results = [(cmd,unquote(res)[len(player)+len(cmd)+2:]) \
for cmd,res in zip(commands, feedback)]
return dict(results)
if __name__ == "__main__":
server = "your_server" # according to your server
port = 9090
player = "00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" # according to your player
commands = ("album", "artist", "title", "time", "duration")
res = query(server, port, player, commands)
print "%(artist)s\n%(album)s - %(title)s" % res
print int(long(res['time'])/long(res['duration'])*100)
--------------------
conky.rc can be modified that way :
Code:
--------------------
${color #837b7b}Currently playing: $color
${execi 15 ~/src/current_song.py | head -n 2}
${execibar 15 ~/src/current_song.py | tail -n 1}
--------------------
Simple, but it works :)
