Irssi Nectarine
And it’s back! I finally bothered to rewrite it after the tool being broken for a few years due to nectarine crashing/losing backups/molesting the site and switching owners a few times.
This script is based on the old necta.pl script me and a friend wrote a couple of years ago.
What it is
An Irssi script to show you what’s currently playing and will be playing soon on scenemusic.eu a.k.a. Nectarine.
Requirements
As usual this thing is written in perl, but it needs a few perl modules.
- Perl 5.10, since I’m starting to like certain new operators they introduced
- XML::LibXML (to parse the information we get from the backend)
So it’s only 1 module for now, which most systems probably have by default. On Pokemon OS you can simply apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl and be done with it.
Failing that because the repositories are once again tebarste you could try through CPAN:
benv@laptop:~:0> cpanp 'i XML::LibXML'
Installation
Since the script actually contains a few helper scripts you will need to make sure Irssi can load all of them.
First untar the tarball (into your homedir or whatever) and then copy or symlink the necta.pl script and the lib dir into your irssi’s scripts directory.
benv@janeman:~$ wget http://notes.benv.junerules.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=irssi_necta-0.01.tar.bz2

# compare the shasum if you care
benv@janeman:~$ tar jxf irssi_necta-0.01.tar.bz2
benv@janeman:~$ mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts
benv@janeman:~$ cd .irssi/scripts/
benv@janeman:~/.irssi/scripts$ ln -s ~/irssi_necta-0.01/necta.pl
benv@janeman:~/.irssi/scripts$ ln -s ~/irssi_necta-0.01/lib/
Next, load the script inside Irssi, and have fun!
benv@janeman:~$ irssi

Known bugs
- V0.02: Nothing that isn’t cosmetic 🙂
- V0.01: The timeleft provided by the backend is not entirely accurate (in fact, sometimes it’s off by several minutes!) which might give some weird information and queue updates. However, most of the time they are good enough.
If you find any bugs that aren’t mentioned here, please let me know at benv-necta@junerules.com
