amaroKnotify

Amarok 2.x Script

Notification Pop-Up
Configuration Dialog

Description

Notifies you of song changes using native popup dialogs (via org.​freedesktop.​Notifications if you have it, kdialog if you don't). It is intended as a replacement for the built-in OSD.

If you are looking for notifications using libnotify, look at meerkat's NotifyAmarok: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/NotifyAmarok?content=103307.

Contact me if you want to add to the existing translations (English, Polish*, Spanish, Italian, Russian, French, German).

Feel free to leave any suggestions or requests.

Known Bugs

  • BUG "Resumed Playing" is sometimes triggered when skipping tracks. (it seems trackPlayPause is being called for some reason)
  • BUG when a notification is reused, it disappears as per the original timeout
