Show current Amarok song in status bar
For Amarok users this is a pretty cool addition. It places the currently playing song and remaining time in the status bar of Vim.
The function grabs the current track and time remaining from dcop (KDE's interprocess communication protocol). The last two lines add it to the status line and makes sure the status line is always showing.
Plainfun! CurrentTrackAndTime()
let totaltime = system("dcop amarok player trackTotalTime")
let totaltime = substitute( totaltime, "\n","","")
let track = system("dcop amarok player nowPlaying")
let track = substitute( track, "\n", "","")
let time = system("dcop amarok player trackCurrentTime")
let time = totaltime - time
let minutes = time / 60
let seconds = time % 60
if minutes < 10
let minutes = "0" . minutes
endif
if seconds < 10
let seconds = "0" . seconds
endif
let status = track." -".minutes.":".seconds
return status
endfun
set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P\ %1*%{CurrentTrackAndTime()}%*
set laststatus=2
