About:
Amarok Script for displaying meta tags on a LCD through LCDd (lcdproc).
You can choose between these meta-infos provided by amarok what is to be displayed on each row: "album", "artist", "bitrate", "comment", "currentTime", "genre", "nowPlaying", "title", "totalTime", "track", "type", "year". Furthermore you can choose a clock.
If you want somewhere something displayed like "artist - title" you could use the keyword "nowPlaying" or instead enter "artist, - ,title". It is important to use the "," as delimiter as it won't work otherwise. The keywords you can use are album (for album), artist (for artist), nowPlaying (for artist - title), title (for title) and totalTime (for the duration of the song if the amarok is playing, otherwise there will be "pause" if amarok is paused and left blank if amarok is stopped)
The configuration-file is a commented xml-file, which - for now - has to be edited by yourself without a GUI. You can find it in "~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/amarok-lcdproc/" and is called "amarok-lcdproc.xml".
The default will look like this:
"title"
"artist"
"album"
"currentTime"/"totalTime" "clock"
Usage:
Start your lcdproc-server, start the script, perhaps take a look at the configuration-file, be happy.
Dependencies:
Amarok 1.4
Ruby 1.8
lcdproc 0.5.0
ToDo:
add a graphical configuration dialog
fixing some encoding-problems with some special characters
Thanks:
Sven Jordan (info@s-jordan.de) for the code for Artist/Title-slicing and the change concerning the '/' in the status view

Since I have a 20x2 screen it doesn't display the songstatus/time :(
The title and artist display well tho.
Is it possible to configure this script for a 2 lined display?

Indeed, it should be possible to change it to a 20x2-display. Although I don't know which way you'd like to have it displayed. In the end I'd like to have it the way, that you can chose your display-size and the way it shall be displayed. But I have to admit, that I have a lack of time at this moment. But if you tell, which way you would like it to be displayed, maybe I can make a quick-and-dirty-version ;)
