> Do you mind explaining me why bracket are needed ?

The widget is based on amixer.

The amixer output contains brackets (and "%") used by the widget to spot the volume via regular expression.

So the output of customized commands (unknown by the widget) needs to be similar to be correctly processed by the widget.


If you wish to contribute, you may just had the right experience to propose a more user-friendly documentation :)

    Oh ! You are right ! I didn't realised the format need brackets !
    thank you very much.
    Do you mind explaining me why bracket are needed ?

    For future user with same issue, this is the final script to get
    the correct output when muted and when volume is changed

    #!/bin/bash
    mute=$(pactl list sinks | grep "Description: WH-1000XM3" -A 6 |
    grep Mute | grep "yes")
    volume=$(pactl list sinks | grep "Description: WH-1000XM3" -A 6 |
    grep % | cut -d " " -f 6)
    if [ -z $mute]
    then
            echo "[M]"
    else
           echo "[$volume]"
    fi

    exit 0

        Ok, so the percent sign is already there, you are just missing
        the brackets.

        By adding them around the volume variable in the echo command
        it should be good.

            I might have been wrong with my guess on the result of

            What is the exact output of your command in the terminal?

            Hello Fabien,

            I tried your solution, As a result the plugin print "M"
            I guess something is wrong M must be interpreted as Muted.

                Hello,

                Have you tried to put your command in an executable
                script that mimic the output of amixer?

                Something like :

                    /#!/bin/bash/

                    /my_volume=$(pactl list sinks | grep
                    "Description: WH-1000XM3" -A 6 | grep % | cut -d
                    " " -f 6)/

                    /echo "["$my_volume"%]"/

                    /exit 0/

                I don't know the output of pactl, so it's just a
                guess that you only get a number with your command.

                Then you just have to replace your command by the
                script in the get_volume_command assignment of the
                widget :

                    /get_volume_command = '/path/to/your_script.bash'/

                Hi,

                I'm using a bluetooth headset and try to get the
                volume with Volume widget.
                amixer seems not compatible with bluetooth headset.

                Therefore I'm trying to get the volume with pactl
                piped to different commands :

                pactl list sinks | grep "Description: WH-1000XM3"
                -A 6 | grep % | cut -d " " -f 6

                This command run in the terminal will success to
                get the volume of my headset.
                I try then to use this command in the widget :


                widget.Volume(
                 foreground = colors[9],
                background = colors[0],
                padding = 5,
                get_volume_command = 'pactl list sinks | grep
                "Description: WH-1000XM3" -A 6 | grep % | cut -d "
                " -f 6'
                ),

                Unfortunately it doesn't works.
                Do you have a solution to get the volume of my
                bluetooth headset ?
