Release CU LRC Lyrics
(2014-08-15, 23:24)musicadi Wrote: Hello,

I'm using xbmc 13.2 RC1 with Black Glass Nova skin.

When I play a music file in full screen the lyrics show up with no problems, but the upper and lower info tabs are not showing up when I move the mouse.

if you press 'm' on keyboard, they will appear.

can't reproduce that one. for me left/right just navigates to the up/down scroll arrows on the lyrics dialog.

if the stream (or addon you're using to stream music) does not provide a artist name and song title,
then cu lrc lyrics won't work properly. there's little i can do about it from my end.

The Stream/ Radio is giving out the file/song name.
Album Art/Fan art of song is being dowlaoded.
Update: I tried some all setting for settings on CU lyrics and diffrent XBMC theams But no success!

funny... does this every time here

I'm using a MacBook pro with Mavericks (10.9.4)

one question... would it be possible to add a lyrics editor function, maybe with an "on-button press" line synchronization?

Thanks capfuturo

I've been struggling to get this puppy working for a while and yours is a great explanation. My set up is :

OpenElec version: 4.0.7 (Generic_64)
XBMC Version: 13.1 (July 9, 2014)
Skin: Aeon Nox Version 4.1.8

One issue I have is that CU LRC Lyrics uses file names for look up not the ID tag name - which in my case is often different. I would have thought that ID tags would be better than file name for look-ups no ?

I seem to be getting no hits on most of my music - which for the most part is pretty well tagged FLAC's. Am i able to force it to use tags not file names as this would solve much of my "no hits" issue?

Also is it possible to display artist slide show simultaneously with lyrics - seemed to be working with Aon Nox 5.0 but not 4.x - at least not in my case

Big thanks - you're doing an awesome job

Jim

There's an option for that. Open the Addon-Configuration (Settings > Addons > ... > CU LRC Lyrics > Configure) and go to options. The first option is titled "Use only filename for search", deactivate it and it should work for you.


Now a little issue of my own. Most of my music is actually in ALAC Format in mp4-containers (*.m4a) for compatibility reasons for multiple players (looking at you iTunes). Now my issue is that the addon apparently can't read lyrics from MP4 Containers. I tagged my musiclibrary with MP3Tag and used UNSYNCEDLYRICS as tagging field (which maps to the MP4 equivalant LYRICS as far as I know), the lyrics show up in MP3Tag and also iTunes (and on my GFs iPod), so they should be written to the files correctly. I guess they just aren't read (since I can't find anything in embedlrc.py either).


Another kind-of-request thing would be a scraper for TuneWiki as mentioned in this thread. Would be awesome if this was possible Smile

Thanks mihawk90

I tried that - but didn't seem to help. Let me check again

Thank you

Mh, seems to work for me, though that could be related to my file structure (Mymusic/<Artist>/<Album>/<title>.<ext>). Can't really be sure about that Smile

here's what happens: initially the tile of the stream is set to the name of the radio station
and that is the info cu lrc user to search for lyrics.

after a few seconds, the stream title suddenly changes to 'artist - song'.
(i guess it takes some time to get this info from the remote stream?)
but then the damage has been done already...
.. and it's kinda of hard to work around such behaviour i'm afraid.

Would it not be possible to perhaps add a setting to delay the search for lyrics if the source is a livestream ? I know that json returns a length of zero when playing a live stream so perhaps that or an equivalent may be a method to leverage a user settable delay for such a scenario ?
Learning Linux the hard way !!

that's yet another problem, to xbmc a stream is just 1 endless song.
there are no 'song ends' / 'new song has started' notifications on which cu lrc depends.

if you can provide me one of those songs (feel free to PM me a link),
then i can have a look to see if i can add support for it.
