iowlcd_amarok relays amaroK status to iowlircemu for LCD output.
If you're looking for a software solution to control and display your music player's status on an LCD, then the iowlcd_amarok script might just be what you need. This script is designed to receive status information from the popular music player amaroK and send it to iowlircemu, a driver for LCDs based on the IO-Warrior24 starterkit from Code Mercenaries GmbH. iowlircemu will then display the information on the LCD.
One of the great features of iowlcd_amarok is that it allows you to configure the LCD's width in characters and adjust the display priority, especially if there are other applications using the LCD at the same time. This level of flexibility enables you to display the information you care about in the way you want it.
To get started with iowlcd_amarok, you will need to meet a few requirements. Firstly, you will need to have the programming language Perl installed on your computer, as well as the DCOP module and its associated sub-modules, DCOP::Amarok and DCOP::Amarok::Player. Additionally, you'll need to have Tk and Tk::NumEntry, along with iowlircemu V0.3-test and amaroK.
Recently, there have been updates to iowlcd_amarok to make it even more helpful. The new release now supports different LCD widths, from 8 to 40 characters, and changes to the configuration take effect immediately. Additionally, the script has been modified to make Tk and Tk::NumEntry optional, though still highly recommended if you want the best experience. Overall, if you're interested in displaying amaroK status on an LCD with flexibility and without hassle, then iowlcd_amarok is definitely worth checking out.
