My Lyrics 1.41 (December 4th 2009) (1 Viewer)

[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.

I meant (rounded) brackets so title (remix) doesn't work.

About skipping: I use MP 1.1.0.0 SVN24553 but I experienced this issue earlier too.
I just installed the latest SVN and when I select Lyrics, MP quits at once
But I think I have found something: when TRACK tag exists in ID3, everything is fine.
But when no track tag, my issue appears.

This is a known issue and comes from changes in MP. (See some posts above)

I'm happy with SVN 24553

Oh, you mean a parathensis Well, they work as well. You will have to have proper tagged music files. If they aren't MyLyrics lacks information and wont be able to file a proper lyrics.

Indeed. I have corrected a couple of things and made a beta which runs with the latest SVN. I made the build using the new MpeMaker tool which ships with the MP SVN. I had some troubles due to a issue or two in the MpeMaker, so if you give it a try you might still find two entries for MyLyrics in the Mediaportal Extension Installer. Please select the latest which is the one that links to mpmylyrics - Project Hosting on Google Code when you press the globus.. I hope you get, else be free to ask note that the installer adds duplicates skin file and creates the folder C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\skin\ which you can delete.

Let me know if you find new issues in the beta or know of existing that haven't been solved yet.

cheers

Hi Mackey

Thanks for the great program. I'm using it with streamed mp skin and the cul8er's new fanart handler plugin that automatically adds highres fanart backdrops to my lyrics and it looks really great.

I have an enhancement request

1. Ability to display the current MP star rating (1->5)
2. Ability to change the current MP star rating by press a digital from 1->5
3. Ability to change the current MP star rating via the context menu (F9)

I have a skinning question +/- enhancement request

When I'm in LRC mode, is it possible to just display the currently active LRC line as well as just the LRC line above and below the current LRC line? If the the current LRC line, and the above/below lines were available as a seperate control and you added support for music rating, then the my lyrics LRC screen could basically replace my now playing screen and i could acheive something like the below image. The non LRC version would still look like the current version here

Another skinning question:

Is it possible to have a different image layout depending on whether you are in Lyric Mode / LRC Mode / LRC Edit mode?
ie is there a conditional visibility that can return true/false so i can use something like
<visible>plugin.mylyrics(lrc.mode)</visible>

A Final skinning question:

Is there a way to force my lyrics to stay in LRC mode, and not jump to lyric mode when it finds a lyric, but no matching lrc?

 

[kiwijunglist]

So basically I'm asking for the following things

1. Add 3 additional skin controls so user can display the current LRC line, as well as the line above and the line below

2. Add an option in My lyrics configuration to stop the plugin automatically jumping between LRC and LYRICS mode

3. Add a control that returns the current MP star rating for the currently playing track

4. Add ability to change the star rating by pressing 1->5 numeric keys

5. Add a visibility conditional control tag so i can tell whether I'm in LRC/LYRICS/LRC-EDIT mode, this way I can make the left hand side black overlay dissapear when I'm in LRC mode.

eg. <visible>!plugin.lyrics.screen(LYRICS)|!plugin.lyrics.screen(LRC-EDIT)|</visible>

Yep. Title [remix] works, title (remix) doesn't work at all. Unfortunately I only have (remix)es

Solving the TRACK tag issue is relatively easy but it's too bad that plugin basicly depends on unreliable data sources.
I think simple users like me won't spend hours to do something with some tags

Hi,

Thx Mackey, it works now
I have a little strange issue (i can't setup plugin in configuration.exe).
Thx for all

Great thinking and some interesting ideas for future features you line up there. Thanks.

However, I'm pretty hung up with work and another non-MP coding project at the moment, so I only have to time to fixes and basic support for the plugin at the moment. Also I plan to spent the MP coding time I have to focus on plugin development for Mediaportal 2 which is starting to take off little by little. So I cannot promise to include any of the 5 wishes in the near feature. Sorry. I might though include one or two of the 5 listed when the next stable version of mylyrics is released just after MP 1.0.1.0 RC1.

thanks for the suggestions though. I will have them on my mind.
