Fetches covers but only displays the cover when first starting conky

[knishofdeath]

The script is clearly working as it will fetch the cover for the currently playing song in Spotify when Conky is started. The covers folder will also update on every song change, however conky defaults to the blank album art as soon as the song changes even though the new cover is in the current folder.

It looks like the cover.sh script was removing the album art too quickly. Removing the rm lines fixed the issue temporarily.

Hi folks! Spotify changes some url, with this changes you can see the covers again:

id.sh #!/bin/bash id=dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | grep spotify/track/ | cut -d "/" -f5 | cut -d '"' -f1 | sed -n '1p' echo $id

imgurl.sh #!/bin/bash imgurl=dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | egrep -A 1 "artUrl" | egrep -v "trackid"| cut -b 44- | cut -d '"' -f 1 echo $imgurl

That's All!

@tavogorriak I tried your fix, but I'm still having issues getting the album cover.

id.sh `#!/bin/bash

id=dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | grep spotify/track/ | cut -d "/" -f5 | cut -d '"' -f1 | sed -n '1p' echo $id

imgurl.sh

`#!/bin/bash

trackid=dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | grep -E -A 1 "trackid" | grep -E -v "trackid"| cut -b 44- | cut -d '"' -f 1 #echo $trackid oembed_url="https://open.spotify.com/oembed?url=$trackid" #echo $oembed_url imgurl=dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | egrep -A 1 "artUrl" | egrep -v "trackid"| cut -b 44- | cut -d '"' -f 1 echo $imgurl`
