Ok Installed script and left directory to XBMC lyrics.
I copied about 50 songs to a unique directory to test script on.
I ran script and 1 of 49 Songs displays. (In the lyrics directory I see the Artists directory created and the first song.txt which is 0 bytes
Nothing happens after that.
I have to force close XBMC
Running win XP

i've had not much time to test this, but there are two things i've noticed.
this was tested on linux, so maybe these are platform specific issues.
- script crashes when there's a special character in the song title, like Æ
Debug Log
- i doesn't work when your music is stored on a smb drive
Debug Log
other than that, once again, a very cool script. ;-)
cheers mate.

do you mind trying with debug log off in script settings?

I will see what I can do about it... it shouldn't be too difficult

Thank-you
I have tested on windows and it works
, not sure why it fails on your side.
you have downloaded 0.7? try disabling the debug log as well in script settings
Its almost 4AM here, I need some sleep
, I will do some more tests and let you know tomorrow.
Cheers

sure, no problem.
without debuglogging the script doesn't crash.....but xbmc does.
much better! ;-P
crashlog
Amet:
Ok the script says .5 so I redownloaded it and sure enough firefox cache just gave me the same file.
I downloaded the latest version and installed. a new MACOS directory was also there.. so it's got to be the latest.
NOTE: script still says .5 though.. so you might want to change that.
Good news: It seemed to work on the 49 files. Now I'll try the directory with 6500 songs in it.
Will let you know.
THANK-YOU again in advance.
Amet:
One thing I noticed is that if you try to change directories... your syntax is messed up and the script crashes. Hitting the default button didn't help either.. so I had to go into script data, and delete the XLM file it creates to reset to your initial directory setting..... which does work.. however has an extra LYRICS directory.
Not a big deal.. easy work around.. however if you want to perfect the script.. your choosing a directory doesn't work. (You actually can't create a new directory to type in the full path or anyhting...)
Great work. I'll try next on the 5950 songs remaining..
This sounds like another great application Amet, however the download link doesn't seem to work - any chance anyone could upload it again. Cheers.
That's odd, doesn't seem to work for me, I'm getting:
Google Error
Not Found
The requested URL /files/BatchLyricsDownload%20Script.zip was not found on this server.
-----------------------------------
Just gone to your google code homepage and downloaded it from the link on there - that seems to do the trick. I'll give it a test and let you know how it works on my library of 11,000 songs! Cheers
