It looks pretty complicated and I don't see any mention of Pillow, so maybe some updated code could work better.  I have the output fromdbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'" saved in the journal and right now there is one particular entry that I need to get decoded.

I can't write this for you, but I think the script in that issue is watching for new notifications, not reading the saved data you want. The save_img_byte() function in there is probably what you need if you can get the right arguments into it.

If it's just one specific entry you need, it's probably simplest to manually copy and paste the values from your saved data. You can use bytes.fromhex() to convert the hex encoded data back to binary.

Best wishes,
Thomas
