I have a quick question. Is there any way I can tell CU LRC to not fetch or display lyrics for a specific directory? I have many albums where there are no vocals at all and it's a little annoying when lyrics are displayed that obviously don't match the song playing.

If there isn't a way currently, could it be requested? Something as simple as a file like .no_CU_LRC could disable CU_LRC in that and possibly sub directories.

Thanks

nope, not possible and no plans to add such an option.

but why not try to fix the problem (incorrect lyrics being displayed) instead of adding all kinds of workarounds?
post a Debug Log of such a song and i'll have a look if there's something going wrong that could be fixed.

Hi Ronie,

Please can I request a feature?

I was hoping to make calls to this addon in order to retrieve the lyrics for a given track (For use in Add-on:Sonos). So I'm not actually playing the track locally, it's remote on the Sonos System, so what I'd like to do is call "CU LRC Lyrics" giving it the artist and the track name, and then have it return the lyrics to me (Then I can display them in the Sonos Addon, so the user can see them).

I guess this could be done in one of multiple ways:

1) A JSON interface that other addons can call to get the data from "CU LRC Lyrics"
2) Setting "Known Window Properties on the Home Window" - which "CU LRC Lyrics" tracks, and then sets the lyrics to another known property?
3) A direct script call - so starting the python script directly.

I suppose what I'm really trying to do is not implement my own Web Lyric scrapper (internal to Sonos) when you've already provided this facility as a service.

I was going to raise a request on GitHub - but noticed that isn't enabled

Thanks

Rob

cu lrclyrics gets triggerd by the Player class (onPlayBackStarted).
i can't think of a simple way to add something else in the mix i'm afraid.

if you can come up with a simple, non-intrusive patch, i might consider it though.

on the other hand, all lyrics scrapers are available as separate modules,
it might be easier to write a simple addon for your purposes that just imports these scrapers.

hi, just notice one song had a 1.1 GB (yes GB) .txt file

Code:

userdata/addon_data/script.cu.lrclyrics/lyrics/Juanes/Destino.txt

Could this be related to the add on or the source?

I notice it because my backup grow crazy (XBMC on PI).
my last week backup include the same file with only 1.1 KB? In the meantime I tried new skin: Eminence

edit: seems that the file contains garbage at the end
Good one:

Code:

tilo@T-G73:~/Music$ wc -lcmw Destino.txt
  41  207 1098 1103 Destino.txt

Bad one 1.1 GB

Code:

tilo@T-G73:~/Downloads$ wc -lcmw Destino.txt
        41        207 1073742922 1073742927 Destino.txt

Thanks for the reply Ronie - I'll have a look when I have a few minutes

Hi Ronie,

I have created the following pull request:

https://github.com/ronie/script.cu.lrclyrics/pull/8

I added the new details to the Readme, but haven't done anthing like bump version numbers/changelog

Hope this is OK - didn't seem too intrusive, and was able to make use of the methods already there.

Thanks

Rob

ok, could you rollback to v2.0.11 again and then remove this file:
C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\packages\script.cu.lrclyrics-3.0.1.zip

that should prevent it from updating again.

hi ronie,
i'm having the same problem with the karaoke window panel on the mq5 skin ver 13.2 gotham. i tried to switch between skins (ace, nox, confluence) but all have the same problem. unlike Alex i don't have any file on: C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\packages\script.cu.lrclyrics-3.0.1.zip. this folder is empty so i don't have anything to delete. I'm trying to roll back to ver 2.0.9 or 2.0.11 as you suggested, but don't know how to do it, since i don't have a downgrade option in the addon configuration. Can you please help? Thanks

if the folder is empty, you can just uninstall the addon.
then install the addon through the xbmc addon repo
and make sure it's version 2.0.12 you're installing.

Hello everyone!

I am using XBMC on a raspberry Pi.
I installed the lyrics add on, but I don't know how to use/launch it or see the lyrics.
I play a music, then a window appears saying CU LRC Lyrics is searching for lyrics, then nothing.
I am using XBMC with a remote that has button play/pause/previous/next and return and options.
On the music screen (when playing) I don't see any way of triggering CU LRC Lyrics.

Am I missing something?

Thank you for any help!

lyrics are displayed on the fullscreen visualization screen.
you don't need a button to start the script, it runs automatically.

Hello Ronie,

Indeed, it worked... I can't figure out how I didn't see it before...
Well, thanks a lot, and sorry! I feel like an idiot now!!

Have a great day!

Hi Ronie,

Thank you for merging those changes in - I was thinking, should I also do the same changes in the Gotham branch?

Thanks
