Ronie, can you supply the json command line to launch and disable the script? That would be awesome.

I believe you also need to uncheck the 'run as service' setting for this add-on if you want to use a key to launch lyrics.

Hello,
I am new to this add-on.
If I understand correctly, the add-on can read embedded lyrics. But on which tag should the lyrics be stored?
All my lyrics are on the LYRICS tag, and they are not detected...

Ronie, I have other wishes for enhancements.
1) Automatic vertical scrolling instead of a page browser (When the text contains many lines that cannot be all displayed on the screen). The intent is to listen to the music without any remote/keyboard at hand. Squeezebox Ipeng application manages it that way. The scrolling speed is computed according the text size and the song duration.
2) Automatic horizontal sizing. If the text contains long lines, I noticed that they were truncated with (...) at the end. Several solutions: automatic line wrapping, manual panel resizing, or automatic panel width depending on longest line.
3) The title "CU LRC Lyrics" on the top right is too much intrusive. I would prefer to have it in small letters as a footer if shown at all.
4) The footer lyric source is empty. I believe it should indicate "embedded"? Actually this could be totally hidden, or maybe just shown on debug mode
Keep up the good work!

thanx for testing, gladd to hear it works ok. :-)
1) that's what lrc based (synchronised) lyrics are for basically. they're not always available though.
auto scrolling by length calculations is not something i'm interested in. it will be a hit and miss at best.
2) none of them are possible in xbmc. when you focus the line in question, it will start to scroll.
3) most skins provide their own layout of the lyrics window. the default included in the addon doesn't have a large cu lrc title at the top.
4) cheers, will fix that!

Just installed this add-on via XBMC.org add-ons and then proceeded to activate it.
Instructions on how to activate (on the 1st page) mention "System->Skin->Addon Shortcuts->Enable Lyrics Add-on in Music OSD", however i have no "Skin" option under "System".
I'm running two XBMC instances (on different computers - Debian on Frodo 12.3 and Ubuntu also on Frodo 12.3) and neither of them has "System->Skin".
On both XBMC instances, under "System" exists: Appearance, Video, Live TV, Music, Pictures, Weather, Add-ons (from where i installed this add-on), Services and System.
I've checked every single option under all those submenu entries and there's no submenu named "Skin" or any option about enabling Lyrics Add-on.
This is driving me a bit crazy and i've read through every single post on this 23 page thread and no one else seems to have this problem.
I must be going mad but what am i missing here?
Cheers.
