Update song change in Gajim with Audacious

This page will show you how to update your song change in Gajim status while using Audacious as Player. (See also this page)

It will keep your status and add ~ The Song, for example :

~ % gajim-remote get_status_message MeleeWeb/Perso
The Definitive Alice ~ Vitalic - Different#1037 - Wooo
~ %

You need audacious and gajim, but if you're here right now, that's maybe because you've both. Just remember that you need DBus activated (see this page).

So, first download audacious-gajim-status.sh

~ % cd ~
~ % mkdir bin
~ % cd bin
~/bin % wget http://beber.meleeweb.net/code/audacious-gajim-status/audacious-gajim-status.sh
~/bin % chmod +x audacious-gajim-status.sh

Edit the file, and replace ACCOUNT variable to the good Account name. You'll get all account name by running the command :

~ % gajim-remote list_accounts
meleeweb.net
zz/GMail
MeleeWeb/Perso
MeleeWeb/Pro
~ %

Then, you need to active the Song Change Plugins as here :

Plugins-List

Then, edit the config as :

Configuration

You'll just need to change the command path.

Change a song and see your status ;) (Or launch the script under a term)
