I love the theme and I want it bad <3
tyvm
congrats on the well deserved DD.
Yes that is possible, just put the cover image in the album directory (where the music files are). The cover must have one of these filenames: cover.jpg, folder.jpg, front.jpg or album.jpg
If the script can't find a matching cover in ~/.covers it will automatically search for one in the album dir.
Did you set the "mpd_dir = ????" variable in the settings of the script to your mpd music directory like this '/mnt/music/' (the last slash is important)?
Is simply the default cover being displayed or a wrong cover?
You might try the current version of the script that I am using myself atm: [link]
(you need to modify the "settings" part again).
I tried your script provided in the link but it still doesn't work. As for the default cover, it appears only one the notify-osd message, not in the conky bar though.
If the script displays the default cover it means that it can't find the cover in the music directory. Please make sure that you specified the right mpd directory in the script, this pathname is used to complete the path for the cover search so if this one is wrong it won't work. Here an example:
If you have specified this in the mpd.conf (/etc/mpd.conf): music_directory "/home/test/music"
Then you need to enter this in the mpd_infos.py (settings): mpd_dir = '/home/test/music/'
Could that have been the issue or did you set it up this way?
Conky: MPD error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600 : Connection refused
I am running Amarok, have python-mpd installed. Not sure what the issue is, have googled for a couple hours and found nothing that has helped for this script. Thank you!
the script is for MPD and not Amarok!
Here are some infos how you can set it up on Ubuntu: [link]
There are other great gui-clients for MPD besides "Sonata" that you may want to check out (like "gmpc" for example).
Conky: MPD error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600 : Connection refused
muy bueno!
For now please open the "start_conky.sh" and change:
python ~/.conky/NightDrive/scripts/mpd_infos.py
to
python2 ~/.conky/NightDrive/scripts/mpd_infos.py
I've already made the script python3 compatible but unfortunately the python-mpd module isn't available for python3 yet so I have to wait until I can release a fix.
However ther vertical offset didn't dissapear, it just happened all of a sudden, I've already put the dpi settings in .Xdefaults before to fix the problem, but this time I'm clueless. Maybe it is because there isn't any weather info showing at all (I think at least a "/" should appear, but not even that), maybe it has something to do with that? Here's a screenshot: [link]
The conkyForecast script isn't python3 compatible either (at least not yet). You can fix it by editing "/usr/bin/conkyForecast" and changing "/usr/bin/python" to "/usr/bin/python2". I guess Kaivalagi will update it in a while.
