Hi mackey,
did some extensive testing this morning on the plugin.
Crashes of the lyrics search:
First time this morning the search went through without crash.
After that, I got constantly windows exeptions for configuration.exe (while lyrics search seemed to continue)
Once I had a cpu load of 100%.
There is absolutely nothing in any log about the crash
(searched mylyrics.log/mylyricsbatch.log/configuration.log)
Once I "managed" to produce an "unhandled exeption" of the plugin after the windows exception notification came up. Still nothing in any of the logs.
The search was started with the default options or only on marked songs. It also crashed on searching a lyric for a single song from the marked database.
Also deleted the marked database. Made no difference.
no lyrics change on song change
can confirm that lyrics don´t change here on song change, as reported by others. Album and artist pictures aren´t updated either.
When you leave the lyricsscreen and reenter, everything is updated.
Using B2 4:3, scrobble on
Edit: Seems to be more complicated. I have seen three behaviours:
# no song lyrics and cover-art update on song change (most of the time)
# display: " no song is playing" (but there is) (on some songs)
# changing lyrics as it should (seen once only)
search stats
I would have sworn that the song search count was dynamic.
I somewhat focused on this and the more I investigated, the stranger the stats became.
My setup: my music database holds 5,985 thorougly tagged songs.
The mylyrics database says it has lyrics for 5,661 songs.
I estimate, that 3,000-4,000 mp3s have lyrics inside their tags.
Now 5,985 - 5,661 = 324 songs without lyrics.
A search with the default options gives:
Total songs: 5,985
Songs with lyrics: 5,750
Songs with mark: 89
Songs to search: 0
Disregarded: 59
1)
Accidently I reran this search which I only had performed the other day, so that "songs nto search" 0 was correct.
--> 5,750 > 5,661
Just realizing while writing this, that 5,661 + 89 = 5,750.
Q: Shouldn´t be there 324 marked songs (or 324-59)
Q: If songs for which no lyrics could be found get marked, they can´t be counted for "songs with lyrics", can they?
2)
After this I unchecked "disregard previously marked songs". This gave me these stats:
Total songs: 5,985
Songs with lyrics: 5,742
Songs with mark: 97
Songs to search:
Disregarded: 59
There is a delta of 8 songs (5,750/5,742 and 89/97)
3)
Now I changed to marked only
(cannot remember if 2) found additional lyrics)
this showed now 113 songs to search
the search found a lot of lyric
it marked 36, found 60 and the search stopped at these 96 songs, it did not finish and never reached the 113. I stopped it manually.
4)
I deleted the marked database
Total songs: 5,985
Songs with lyrics: 5,742
Songs with mark: 0
Songs to search: 20
Disregarded: 59
-> it only showed 20 songs to search (Crashed a couple of times)
5)
Disregarded songs
This was a constant figure: it was allways 59.
According to the options, this number should contain
"Disregard songs with lyrics in database"
"Disregard songs with lyrics in mp3"
and "Disregard songs by "various artists"
as stated the lyrics database says it contains 5,661 lyrics,
3,000-4,000 of my mp3´s contain lyrics in the tags
According to MP artist view, I have not one song by "various artists"
--> either it should be 5,661
--> or label should be "disregarded songs by "various artists"
--> still no clue where the 59 count in my case comes from.
Mackey, this is all not really important, the functionality is the important thing and this is excellent. But I am a bit of a statistics freak
Maybe this helps to narrow the issues down. If I can check anything else for you, give me a yell.

I agree that they are placed rather strangely but I cannot seem to place the tabs in a proper position any longer. I use the <SpinPosX> and <SpinPosY> tags in the xml file but they seem to have lost their effect. Any help is appreciated.I have a small skin issue
the next page info is placed somewhat weird, should be next to lyrics txt instead of upon title in right corner

..when I try to do Configuration on the plugin I get the following Error. "Unhandle exception has occured in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore the error and attempt to continue. If you click Quite, the application will close immediately." MediaPortal.Music.Database.MusicDatabase.ctor()...
Sorry for the delay.. too much work and other stuff is taking up all my time. I hope to be able to dig into the problem really soon. I expect a working version to be released next week.
