Hi everyone,
I have the feeling that the developer isn't supporting the plugin anymore, but maybe someone else can help me.
When I listen to streaming radio, the Artist is not specified in the respective field, but the Artist + Song Title as a whole in the Title field; "The Cure - A Forest" and thus the plugin doesn't find the lyrics.
Does someone know of any way I can feed the plugin the Artist and Song Title in the fields it needs?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ok, I researched and dove into title formatting, which works in the Lyric Show 3 fields. Here's what I came up with:
I test if there's a "-" in the title, which the station puts inbetween the artist - songtitle in the %title% filed. When it contains the "-", I extract everything before it and return it, for the Artist parameter box. If not, I just return %artist%. Same principle for the Title config box, but then everything after "-".
So:
- Artist : $ifgreater($strstr(%title%,-),0,$trim($left(%title%,$sub($strchr(%title%,-),1))),%artist%)
- Title : $ifgreater($strstr(%title%,-),0,$trim($right(%title%,$sub($len(%title%),$strchr(%title%,-)))),%title%)
I know it's not perfect for titles of songs containing a "-", but I cannot think of another way and accept those rare (?) cases.
And, for the Notification Area Tooltip (Preferences / Display / Default User Interface / Notification Area Tooltip), I have:
$ifgreater($strstr(%title%,-),0,$trim($left(%title%,$sub($strchr(%title%,-),1))) - $trim($right(%title%,$sub($len(%title%),$strchr(%title%,-)))),%artist% - %title%)
Hope it's also helpful to someone else.
Cheers.
