lcdproc_amarok is a lcdproc client script for amaroK to show the currently playing song, how long it is and what number in the playlist it is. For streaming contents, the length in stead says 'streaming'.

It is pretty difficult to show how this works in a screenshot, so I suggest that you take a look at my video in stead if you don't just download it straight off.

You can observe it here:

A word of caution: The video is almost 40 MB in size.

Futher ideas for enhancement welcome.

I am using it on my Medion MD8800 machine and as such I have added some extras for this display. Those are disabled by default so it shouldn't bother anyone.

You need the latest CVS version of lcdproc to use this version of the script. An older version that works with lcdproc 0.5 can be found here:

http://www.martinm-76.dk/software/amarok/lcdproc_amarok-1.3.amarokscript.tar.bz2

It will not be developed further by me, though...

Requirements:
perl
DCOP
amaroK

What's New in This Release:
lcdproc_amarok.pl now goes to alert priority for $alert seconds on track change (and startup).
if you're not using lcdproc from CVS, change the priorities to numerical values, e.g. 129,128,1.
