My name is Tink and I'm a Conkaholic.
I've just celebrated my 1 yr Linux anniversary (from Winwoes) and have learned lots in this time. Thought I would share my new conky media I built. I borrowed some code/design from a compilation of other conkies, but the engine of it (the bash scripts) I wrote myself. I'm so proud. I went from knowing nothing, to actual coding 1 yr later. (Hope this encourages all of you who are new. )
The clock on the left is my conky. When no media is playing, this is how it looks.
BUT, as soon I play something, the Zorin OS text disappears and the player info displays... all in the background, of course.
In FireFox it displays: Youtube, Rumble, Odysee, Spotify or any online media with cover art...
Same for Brave, minus cover art bc it isn't available in chromium browsers...
FreeTube (youtube video player) also chromium based so no cover art.
Tauon and RhythmBox Music Players
And VLC... still working to get cover art to display here.
I've coded it to display covert art if available, and if not it reverts to an icon instead.
Once the media closes, it returns back to the clock.
So? Whaddya think?
