Gajim Amarok Now Playing Script

Inspired by plugins for another players, here's a plugin for my player of choice, Amarok, to update your status with the current playing song.

Requirements:

• Gajim with D-Bus working (see GajimDBus)
• Amarok (Tested with 1.3.8)

Below is the script in 'plain text', and you can get a prepackaged (ready to be installed using amarok's script manager) here  gajim-amaroknowplaying.amarokscript.tar.gz, or see below for an attached version.

#!/bin/bash

#
# Gajim-amarokNowPlaying
# by [Knuckles] xmpp:knuckles@jabber.3gnt.org
#
# License: GPL (GNU Public License)
#
# This script sets online status on gajim with currently playing track.
# Modified from amarokNowPlaying copyright 2005 by Daniel Dormann (daniel@invision-team.de).
#

currentPath=$(pwd)

state=$(dcop amarok player status)

if [ "$state" = 1 ]; then
	state="paused"
elif [ "$state" = 2 ]; then
	state="playing"
else
	state="empty"
fi

input=trackChange

while [ 1 ]
do
	if [ ${input:0:17} = engineStateChange ]; then
		state=${input:18}
		input=trackChange
	fi

	if [ "$input" = trackChange ] || [ ${#state} > 0 ]; then
		artist=$(dcop amarok player artist)
		title=$(dcop amarok player title)
		nowPlaying=$(dcop amarok player nowPlaying)
		#isPlaying=$(dcop amarok player isPlaying)
		#status=$(dcop amarok player status)
		#repeatTrack=$(dcop amarok player repeatTrackStatus)
		#repeatPlaylist=$(dcop amarok player repeatPlaylistStatus)
		#randomMode=$(dcop amarok player randomModeStatus)
		#artist=$(dcop amarok player artist)
		#title=$(dcop amarok player title)
		#track=$(dcop amarok player track)
		#album=$(dcop amarok player album)
		#length=$(dcop amarok player totalTime)
		#genre=$(dcop amarok player genre)
		#year=$(dcop amarok player year)
		#comment=$(dcop amarok player comment)
		#bitrate=$(dcop amarok player bitrate)
		#samplerate=$(dcop amarok player sampleRate)
		#cover=$(dcop amarok player coverImage)
		#score=$(dcop amarok player score)
		gajim-remote change_status online "♫ Amarok: $nowPlaying"
		# for testing
		#kdialog --msgbox "gajim-remote change_status online ♫ $artist - $title"
	fi
	read input
done

And here's a variant which doesn't reset your status to "online" on every track change, and also preserves your existing status message and just appends the track name onto it:

state=$(dcop amarok player status)

if [ "$state" = 1 ]; then
        state="paused"
elif [ "$state" = 2 ]; then
        state="playing"
else
        state="empty"
fi

input=trackChange

while [ 1 ]
do
        if [ ${input:0:17} = engineStateChange ]; then
                state=${input:18}
                input=trackChange
        fi

        if [ "$input" = trackChange ] || [ ${#state} > 0 ]; then
                artist=$(dcop amarok player artist)
                title=$(dcop amarok player title)
                nowPlaying=$(dcop amarok player nowPlaying)
                #isPlaying=$(dcop amarok player isPlaying)
                #status=$(dcop amarok player status)
                #repeatTrack=$(dcop amarok player repeatTrackStatus)
                #repeatPlaylist=$(dcop amarok player repeatPlaylistStatus)
                #randomMode=$(dcop amarok player randomModeStatus)
                #artist=$(dcop amarok player artist)
                #title=$(dcop amarok player title)
                #track=$(dcop amarok player track)
                #album=$(dcop amarok player album)
                #length=$(dcop amarok player totalTime)
                #genre=$(dcop amarok player genre)

                #comment=$(dcop amarok player comment)
                #bitrate=$(dcop amarok player bitrate)
                #samplerate=$(dcop amarok player sampleRate)
                #cover=$(dcop amarok player coverImage)
                #score=$(dcop amarok player score)
                oldStatus=$(gajim-remote get_status)
                oldStatusMessage=$(gajim-remote get_status_message | sed 's/ ♫.*//')
                gajim-remote change_status $oldStatus "$oldStatusMessage ♫ $nowPlaying"
                # for testing
                #kdialog --msgbox "gajim-remote change_status online ♫ $artist - $title"
        fi
        read input
done

Here is my version. It reflects the listening status (playing, paused, stopped) and cleans up (removes track's informations from the status message) when exiting amaroK. Package can be found  here. Should work with gaim too (not tested). -- Alan71 (20/08/2007 - 14:35)

Else one version, that send your music info as xml. It is using PEP (XEP-0163) for publishing your music. Script based on previous script, writen by Silian Della Ragione. There are some bug present: before music title appears double quote in the tip window. Xml-code is clear (as I can see). If anybody knows wtf, please contact me.

This script reads the currently playing song out of Amarok and updates the Gajim Tune message when the song has changed:
