[edit] Introduction

A small Python script for use with AWN to change the icon into the cover-images of the albums played by Audacious.

[edit] Requirements

Avant Window Navigator
Audacious
Audtool (Included with Audacious)
Python

[edit] Screenshot

Here's a small screenshot of the plugin in action:

[edit] Downloading and installing

Copy and paste the code into a file, i.e. awn-audacious.py and put it somewhere in the path
Make it executable (chmod +x awn-audacious.py) and load it into background, preferably in the session autostart
Now when Audacious plays a song containing a folder.jpg or folder.png in its folder, the icon will change on the launcher/task-manager

[edit] Code

awn-audacious.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Audacious AWN-plugin
# v. 0.7
# Tobias Hellgren <thanius at thanius dot com>
#
# CHANGES: 
# The script didn't like that audtool reported "%20" on spaces, fixed.
#
# v. 0.667: For some reason audtool sometimes reported filename starting with 'file://' which the script didn't like.
# Made a quick and dirty fix, should work now.
#
# Requires Audacious and audtool
# Dbus requires UTF-8 encoding on the folders, or else the script will crash
# The cover image must be called either 'folder.jpg' or 'folder.png'
#
# CONFIG

DEFAULT_ICON = "/usr/share/pixmaps/audacious.png"
AUDTOOL = "/usr/bin/audtool"
