Conky / Re: Conky Support, Codes and Screenshots

How embarrassing.

sudo apt-get install mpdris

got gmb working as desired. Still no luck with vlc though. I checked and I have definitely enabled dbus as suggested.

Conky / Re: Conky Support, Codes and Screenshots

That was a quick reply! Well, I think you've identified the first problem: I don't think that the MPRIS plugins were enabled.
For VLC I saw this and so I followed this:
QuoteBut the MPRIS v2 Dbus interface is not enabled by default in VLC 2.0, so here's how to enable it: in VLC go to Tools > Preferences, select "All" under "Show settings" (bottom left), then navigate to Interface > Control Interface and check the box next to "D-Bus control interface"
This doesn't seem to have affected the conky output though.

In GMB MPRIS v2 was enabled, not v1. I tried enabling v1 instead, which caused the text info to appear in conky, but not the artwork. Unfortunately GMB now keeps freezing!

The scripts in the terminal give:
@crunchbang:~/scripts/conky$ python conkyAmarok.py
Side B
@crunchbang:~/scripts/conky$ python conkyVlc.py
Unknown

Conky / Re: Conky Support, Codes and Screenshots
January 27, 2014, 03:13:40 AM
Hi.  I just registered in the hope of  getting some conky help.

For the last couple of years I have been pressed by work demands into using Windows, and have only recently restarted using linux instead. I had saved my old conky scripts, the "now playing" portion of which relied on VastOne's cover art templates.

For some reason now that I come to run them again the "now playing" data still appears when I am using Amarok, but not when I am using vlc or (my favoured player) gmb.

When I use amarok, my desktop looks like this (as desired):


But when playing the same tracks using vlc or gmb I get this:


My start script:
#!/bin/bash
#conky -c ~/.config/conky/.conkyrc_hdd &
conky -c ~/.config/conky/.conkyrc_network &
conky -c ~/.config/conky/.conkyrc_monitor & #conky -c ~/.config/conky/.conkyrc_web &
conky -c ~/.config/conky/.conkyrc_music
