Er...got stuck on this bit;
I am streaming Groove Salad with cmus...no probs... but cmusbar still shows 'music off'.

Re: MONSTERWM: Gruffalo 686pae Release News
Thank you! Glad you like it. And thank you for checking it out.
TBH, I'm not sure. Here is the code for cmusbar (its in /usr/local/bin/)
Does it work if you are playing straight local mp3's? It should. Possibly Groove Salad is not 'activating' cmus-remote, so as far as the script is concerned, nothing is playing. I don't use Groove Salad, but if you can hack up the script so it works, I'll include in my next spin.
TBH, I'm not sure. Here is the code for cmusbar (its in /usr/local/bin/)
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
if [ ! -x /usr/bin/cmus-remote ];
then
echo "music off"
exit
fi
ARTIST=$( cmus-remote -Q 2>/dev/null | grep "tag artist " | cut -d " " -f 3- )
TITLE=$( cmus-remote -Q 2>/dev/null | grep title | cut -d " " -f 3- )
if [ -z "$ARTIST" ];
then
echo "music off"
else
echo "$ARTIST - $TITLE"
fi

Thanks for the tips.
I tried with a local mp3 but still no go.
I am going to install this one and investigate further.
I'll update you on my progress.

Re: Gruffalo Spin Support
moved support related posts to new topic in Support .... keep the Release Announcement tidy
I'm not sure then, sorry. Couple things come to mind.
When music is playing via cmus ...
1. Any output when you ctrl-alt F1
2. Open another terminal, enter 'cmus-remote -n' ... anything? Should move to next track. This should at least confirm cmus-remote is in the loop here.
3. Download a track from PMS, from cmus, navigate to ~/media/PMS, and play. Work?
Past that, I'm really not sure. It works for me, and worked for others that tested it.
If anyone else is running this spin, or testing, can you confirm/deny this is also an issue for you.

Re: Gruffalo Spin Support
Just a thought, possibly try to replace $ARTIST with $TITLE in the conditional statement.

Re: Gruffalo Spin Support
gruffalo installed - FAB!
With regard to cmus;
1.No cmus output from CTR-ALT F1
2.cmus-remote -n = no output
3. YES that works! download from PMS! listening to Rolling Stones and reading 'Rolling Stones' in the status bar.
Hope this helps...

Re: Gruffalo Spin Support
Alright, good to know. I would suppose since its a stream, track commands won't work. Did you see my prior post? Did that work? Works for me.
Thanks.

Re: Gruffalo Spin Support
If it works for drew, I can only guess that /usr/local/bin/cmusbar needs a chmod a+x. Guessing only :)

THAT FIXED IT!Just a thought, possibly try to replace $ARTIST with $TITLE in the conditional statement.
Info now available in status bar for both streaming audio and local mp3s!
You ROCK!
