i feel like i ask this every year, but how do you track which album is played with cmus-remote?

@flbr It's very dumb, but it works well enough:

a cron job that writes the output of cmus-remote as "artist - track" into a text file, every 5 minutes. That's all

And I have this uxntal file that counts the number of instances a certain "artist - track" is present and sort by numbers

dumb is good 😀
also i love that you're now using uxntal to do the parsing!

@flbr uxntal is pretty-much my favourite scripting language for quick string parsing and I/O at this point.

i've actually been planning on spending today relearning uxn, i have some ideas for a fork of adelie which will need some I/O functionality!

if you've got a collection (or even just a couple examples) of your use of uxntal for quick text parsing and I/O scripting i'd love to see it :>

@flbr I recommend that you go through @sejo's book, at least the first few chapters before looking at the more advanced examples: https://compudanzas.net/uxn_tutorial_day_1.html

Have fun! :uxn:

compudanzas — uxn tutorial: day 1, the basics

hello! in this first section of the uxn tutorial we talk about the basics of the uxn computer called varvara, its programming paradigm in a language called uxntal, its architecture, and why you would want to learn to program it.

okay holy shit I don't know why this is so difficult for me to figure out! what does your cron job look like? I can't seem to get cmus-remote to print to a file from cron :/

@flbr you're using this in your cron job right?

cmus-remote -Q (your parsing) >> ~/.scrobble

I have a script which does all the cmus-remote parsing I need, but it just doesn't want to run from a cron job...

the script is
```
cmus-remote -C "format_print %{artist} %{album} %{title}" | awk 'NR❤ {printf "%s\t",$i} NR==3 {print}' >> /home/benh/.listening; awk -i inplace '!p[$0]++' /home/benh/.listening
```
and it works great... but not through cron?

using sudo in the cron job or in the script? or when running `crontab -e`?

@flbr sudo cmus-remote, does it throw a warning? If you dump the error into a file, does it say something "not playing"

it just fails with no error. Also, exporting the cron job environment variables and trying to run the script in a shell with the same variables produces the same result, so I guess it's something in the environment?

@flbr I thought so, but it would throw an error if cron couldn't use cmus-remote.. I don't use sudo or anything for my thinkpad, just cmus-remote stuff >> /home/ayatori/.scrobbles
@efelbar

so is your cronjob just `cmus-remote -Q >> /home/ayatori/.scrobbles`, with parsing done somewhere else?

@flbr no, I do it in my cron file, it's just that it's kind of a mess right now, it's entangled into other things.
