Listen Plugin
This is a stand-alone python script to connect the Listen music player (www.listen-project.org) to AWN.
It displays the cover and the percentage of the song played. Other information about the song is already displayed in the title (bubble).
Maybe this concept shows that we should not get our favorite programs to support AWN, but get them supported by AWN. We should add some hook to load such plugins at AWN startup.
(Little) Issues:

(Little) Issues:
- Listen changes its window name according to the song played. Therefor it was a little hard to find the task on the icon bar. If the format of the window name is not right for you, you can change it.
- Listens plugin system is currently being implemented. Awn also does not have a loading system at the moment. This plugin is the "glue" between those two. Just run it somewhere in the background.

Has anyone actually gotten this plugin to work? It runs fine (after deleting the () from the python script, so it actually runs), but won't do anything.

I'm not too good with python, but I managed to detect that the script was throwing a DBusException each loop iteration. Here's the traceback...
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./awn_plugin_listen.py", line 41, in main vars = {'title' : listen.get_title(), 'artist' : listen.get_artist(), 'album' : listen.get_album()} File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 85, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 169, in __call__ reply_message = self._connection.send_message_with_reply_and_block(message, timeout) DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.dbus.exceptions.UnknownMethodException: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/service.py", line 429, in _message_cb (candidate_method, parent_method) = _method_lookup(self, method_name, interface_name) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/service.py", line 222, in _method_lookup raise UnknownMethodException('%s is not a valid method of interface %s' % (method_name, dbus_interface)) UnknownMethodException: Unknown method: get_title is not a valid method of interface org.gnome.Listen Have I done something wrong setting this up? PS, without additional handling this just looks like its working but doing nothing. |

A developer for Listen just submitted a patch that allows you to turn off the dynamic title for Listen, so AWN can recognize it a lot easier. I just applied it, and it works fine...Maybe make it a bit more reliable?
