You are right. However I have bad experiences coding against a SVN version that isn't even accessable from the MP forums. Even in this feature-freeze times little things are changed and tweaked daily. I will wait for a new public SVN version and believes this is the best solution for me and most of the users.

Hi Sebastiii

Yes, great news. I will look at issues tomorrow. I will release a new version that supports the latest SVN before the end of the week. It might only be a beta if new changes breaks with MP 1.0.2. Time will tell.

cheers

Thanks very much for the work you've put into this.

Is there any way you can integrate it into the menu on the music screen? As a hard of hearing music lover this plug-in is very handy but at present it means navigating back to the main menu and into My Lyrics, then back again to select the next track I want to listen to.

Yes, as Sebastiii notes, it is the skin that can choose to have a link to MyLyrics (or any other plugin) from the MyMusic pages. Many skin designers have chosen to make one or several shortcuts to MyLyrics within other skin files (e.g. StreamedMP, BlackGlass, Xface) but not all have to do so. So you should address your with in a subforum for your skin of chose. You could also add the shortcut yourself - you could check out the xml-files for a skin that do have the shortcut and copy most of it. The id for the MyLyrics plugin is 90478.

Hey, I have a problem with a lot of songs. When I'm playing a song that it's title contains brackets, plugin doesn't find any lyrics for them.
If I modify the title tag and delete brackets, it's OK. But I don't want to do that, there are useful information. Can plugin be modified so leave the brackets unattended to?
Thx, vrm.

Thanks for the report. I make sure that brackets are cut off in the search string in the next version. Currently it might only be parantheses and curly brackets that are cut off.

Hi vrm,

I've looked into the issue and see that the code already chip of the end part that begins with a bracket. So it should actually be just fine the way it is. Do you titles contain brackets middle in the title with parts of the title following the first bracket? If so, the code will cut off to much of the title and a lyric will not be found. When a title contains a bracket I'm sure that 98% percent of the times the bracket is not part of the title but rather an extension like e.g. "titleblahblah [remix]" or "titleblahblah [live]". Therefore the few titles containing a bracket will most likely not be recognized by the plugin.

One more issue. When I'm on the lyrics screen and I press skip forward or backward on remote, plugin says no music playing. I need to leave the screen and return back to see the lyrics.

I cannot reproduce this issue. I have tried both with remote buttons and "F7" and "F8" on my keyboard and it seems to work just fine. I'm using the latest public SVN from the 30-01-10, which version of MP are you using? I remember though, that I once got this before a couple of weeks ago, but only once. When i started the plugin in demo mode in the chase of the bug I could not reproduce again. Let me know if you still experience this problem, and also which version of MP you are using.

thanks
