           Summary: Now playing scripts don't work
           Product: konversation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugs.kde.org at sjau.ch


Version:           1.1 (KDE 3.5.10) (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a strange problem.

I had until yesterday Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10 with KDE 4.2. Then I made a clean
install with Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and upgraded to KDE 4.2.2 by the PPA packages.

So, on Intrepid I used a ruby script that I used as now playing script because
of Amarok 2 [SVN]. This script stopped working for no apparent reason.

However I found an old bash script that could just submit info to konversation
fine. I made a simple script that will run inside the ruby script and then post
it.

Neither approach worked, although when called each script from the cli (and
entered static info for server and channel) they worked fine.

I even downloaded the media script as announced on the konversation portal
page. I can say that the media script and ruby script both worked at some
stage, but after a restart of konversation they ceased working.

I have no explanation for this, especially when they run from the shell.

Below is the script:






#!/usr/bin/ruby

#appid  = $*[0]
#server  = $*[1]
#target = $*[2]

appid = "konversation"
server = "0"
target = "#konversation"

metadata  = `qdbus org.mpris.amarok /Player GetMetadata 2> /dev/null`.chomp

hash = Hash.new
metadata = metadata.split("\n")
metadata.each do |line|
  key = line.split(": ")[0]
  value = line.split(": ")[1]
  if value.nil?
    value = ""
  end
  hash[key] = value
end

title  = hash["title"]
artist = hash["artist"]
album  = hash["album"]
year   = hash["year"]
streamName = "" #CGI.unescape(`qdbus org.mpris.amarok /Player
streamName`.chomp)
version = "" #`qdbus org.mpris.amarok /Player version`.chomp
version = `amarok --version`.match(/^Amarok\:(.+)/i).captures

output = ""

if title.empty?
    output += `qdbus org.mpris.amarok /Player nowPlaying`.chomp
else
    # Strip file extension
    extensions = ".ogg", ".mp3", ".wav", ".flac", ".fla", ".wma", ".mpc",
".oga"
    ext = File.extname( title ).downcase

    if extensions.include?( ext )
        title = title[0, title.length - ext.length]
    end

    if artist.empty?
        output += "'#{title}'"
    else
        output += "'#{title}' by '#{artist}'"
    end

    unless album.empty?
        output += " on '#{album}'"
        output += " (anno: #{year})" unless year == "0" or year.empty?
#        output += "]"
    end

    unless streamName.empty?
        output += " (#{streamName})"
    end

    unless version.empty?
        output += " - [Amarok#{version}]"
    end
end


info = "appid:  #{appid} - server: #{server} - target: #{target}"

f = File.open("ruby.txt", 'w')
f.write(info)
f.close

#puts output
#puts "#{output}"

`dcop konversation irc say #{server} "#{target}" "/me is listening to
#{output}"`
