Hi - I had to upgrade my XBMC to 13.0 alpha9 as 12.2 kept crashing on me - the crashing is fixed, but now this lyrics script doesn't work

The script loads and seems to find the lyric file and downloads it, but it won't display it - it just comes up blank.

If I check the lyrics folder the lyrics files are there and I can view them in notepad.

Also, if I press ESC to hide the lyrics pane while in the playing screen it hides, but if I try to open it again it won't - I just get an attention notice saying it is already loaded.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

quite a few things changed in the gotham version of this addon.
it could be the skin you're using is not yet updated to include these changes.

so please test with confluence (in case you're not already using it)
and post a full Debug Log of the issues you're having.

Hi - I'm using confluence. I'm using version 2.0.2 of the script - is that the right one?

Here is the debug log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=80390

I'm on alpha9 & this add-on doesn't work with Aeon MQ4 or stock Confluence 2.2.1. A quick "searching" flashes, but then no lyrics. Want a log?

Hi Ronie - this link isn't working for me - I'm getting a url not found error?

EDIT - tried another mirror to get the update. Works great! Thanks for the speedy turnaround Ronie!

Could someone post the alternative link? All mirrors either don't have that directory or it's empty.

EDIT - finally found a mirror that worked: http://mirror.rackcentral.com.au/xbmc/ad...lrclyrics/
All is fixed! Thanks.

[ronie]

yeah we had some mirror problems today, all the gotham addons we're whiped from the earths face.
i'll bump the version to 2.0.6 and re-up.

FYI, posted a new thread in the feature suggestion forum with a related idea to also move Music Lyrics Addon core handling to XBMC's core

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=177752

That is, exact same concept as for the new subtitles service plugins, with a common interface as part of XBMC core, if that code and GUI window(s) could be extended or reused for this too?

I like to suggest that (Music) Lyrics Addons core handling code be moved to XBMC's core.

Since it have already been decided that the Subtitles Addon core handling will be moved to XBMC's core in Pull Request 3552, maybe that code could be extended to also support similar lyrics service plugins too?


Pull Request 3552 idea is to the GUI portion of the XBMC Subtitles Script into XBMC's core, and has the individual subtitle services run as plugins from there, which will allow better skin integration of downloading of subtitles. As better described on the xbmc.org home page here http://xbmc.org/making-subtitle-search-better/

So perhaps the same new UI window(s) and concept could be extend or reused to be used for lyrics service plugins?

Could you please not 'run as a service' by default. It changes the default behavior in MusicVisualisation.xml without warning.
You need to know to close the window before being able to open the OSD.

Or get it to load the musicOSD on top with pressing M and still have the lyrics visible.

Also, if i run as default and close the window i can't re-open with the button in the OSD.

i would prefer to keep the run as service option enabled by default.
i doubt it's possible to make the musicosd accessible when the lyrics window is active, but i'll look into it.

Also, if i run as default and close the window i can't re-open with the button in the OSD.

it will re-open automatically when the next song starts (or if you exit and re-enter the music visualisation).
i'll check if it's doable to have to osd lyrics button re-open the lyrics window.

[MassIV]

I worked around it with PlayerControl.xml, i think it's even an improvement

If you can't re-open with the button, maybe provide a label to disable the osd button with?

Hello

I am seeing a lot of entries like this in the XBMC.log

What does it mean? Or is it nothing to worry about?

I am using the Aeon MQ5 skin and XBMC V12.2
