Another raw output method that writes bars to output using "▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ " about cava HOT 6 CLOSED

Alright I have Created a wrapper and I am getting about twice the performance than the modifications I made with a cava fork. I will close this issue since this is a lot more maintainable and easier to use. I want to thank you for your quick responses.

from cava.

could it be possible to achieve the same result by just piping the normal noncurses output to the widget?

how is the values from cava passed to the widget?

from cava.

values get passed to eww through stdout. There are 3 different variables. static, polling, and listening.

• static defines a value on startup and can be manually changed.
• polling runs a command on a fixed timer and the stdout from that command will become the value.
• listening will run a command, and then the last line that was printed into stdout will become the value.

So I need eww to get text that can then be turned into bars in some way. All the methods I have tried were too slow.

I have tested noncurses output and eww fails to read it and it remains empty "" (which is the default null value in eww).

I think a good approach might be to write a wrapper to pipe the raw output via. Cava could write the raw output to a fifo and the wrapper could read the values and print the output.

from cava.

That seems like a logical thing to do. I will go ahead and make a small program to do this and compare the performance.
