This is a small script I wrote for myself when using XChat and Rhythmbox.
Ever since the latest Rhythmbox release, there has been an undocumented feature in rhythmbox-client to print the string received from shoutcast streams, such as my favorite di.fm radio, which I normally have on. I found several xchat-rhythmbox announcers but they all lacked the ability to determine if rhythmbox currently streams music or listens to a music file.
Now that I actually have free time, I could write a small script to do exactly what I wanted, and I’ve decided to share it. The source/script is released under the terms of the WTFPL.

Really thanx for it :D

Hey,
Do you think you could make it so it shows up automatically? When the song changes?
Thanks!
Thank you so much, I hate python/pearl scripts, Didn’t wanted to make one!
You rox
Tks for this script.
@Dom use the /timer command
TIMER : Usage: TIMER [-refnum ] [-repeat ]
TIMER [-quiet] -delete
example
/timer -refnum 1 -repeat 2 3 np
the /np command repeats after every 3 seconds.
I hope that was useful :)
Very useful script. Thank you.
Heh, thanks for this. I didn’t even know Rhythmbox had command line options – then again, I never did check.
Unfortunately it looks that rythmobox-client has been dropped and therefore it looks that this plugin is not working anymore.
At least this is true in version 2.90 included with fedora 15.
