Flickering Icon
Mar 2 2007, 4:36 PM EST | Post edited: Mar 2 2007, 4:36 PM EST
I'm not sure why but when I use the plugin it just seems to flicker back and forth from the status circle to the album cover to the amarok icon. Also is there no way to uninstall it? Once I installed it I can't seem to get rid of it even if I uninstall it and restart Amarok. Anybody else having any issues like that? 6  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

That's exactly the same issue I am having. I am using the newest svn, and amarok 1.4.5. Do you find this valuable?

If you still have that problem:

Uninstall the old script by removing 'awn-amarok' from
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts


Try downloading it again and run it in a terminal for a while
$ python ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/awn-amarok/awn-amarok.py

if it's still not working send the output to
admin [at] dskw [dot] de

thx

This worked for me as the process on my System ( Unbuntu 7.04 ) is called "amarokapp" instead of "amarok"

I changed line 63 in awn-amarok.py from

if getoutput("pidof amarok") == "":

to if getoutput("pidof amarokapp") == "":

No guarantees however.
