wow, thanks.
i had been using the lyrics2 plugin for so long and not having any problems,
but i'm glad i tried the update.  the sync'd scrolling is so much better!
love the cleaned up preferences and the removed broken db's.

always good to see a great plugin revived, thanks again!

Please make sure to keep it in the official components database.
Since the auto-update has been implemented in foobar2000, you could retrieve much more crash reports!
Thank you in advance.

Hey, I just found something weird:
when there's no cover for an album, and the panel is configured to show cover in the background, I got a black blurred screen.
Still the lyrics loads perfectly - good thing, isn't?

I'm getting this error when manually skipping tracks, it happens in some and if I replay it the popup doesn't show up:

Feature request:
- save lyrics to tags only for the local files and for any radio/internet stream fallback to save to directory or ignore saving (preferably configurable)

awesome-o
*thumbs up*

EDIT: Tried it, liked it.
But... I couldn't figure out how to change the background color of the panel when I enable the "Custom" mode for "Colours and font" from "Panel Preferences"

well, you see, i use a png (with transparency) image as the background and it lets out the background colour.
So now, the png's transparency lets all the (default) white colour out but all i want is to let out a certain colour so that it matches my CUI theme.

okay ignore the post above as you will be happy to know that i got a way to solve my problem.
--it was kinda a zigzag method. okay... would be just a single Z but still

first i selected "Background" as "Plain Colour" and specified the colour and then... i changed the "Background" to "Image" and selected the PNG image.

Just got a 100% reproducible crash, looks like it's in foo_uie_lyrics3 given the information in the crash report. I was trying to play a song with a really long title. Couldn't get anything by attaching a debugger, but it should be pretty easy to reproduce your end; just tag a file with this title:

"The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, "I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!""

It's nice to see new lyrics development. I just started testing and so far I think we need scroll bars and/or support for Windows' Extra Large Fonts setting. Have a look at this mess:

Is this still being updated?

we can have a doubt about this, but i only think that The vern hasn't got enough free time actually, but let's hope a comment from him here to give us news about this project

Yes I am still working on the project, but as Falstaff says I have had very little free time recently. That's not to say I haven't been doing anything, below is a list of everything that has been implemented and a to-do list.

Thanks to all for your feedback, it has been very valuable!

Changes to be released in 0.2 (which have already been implemented)

- Fading of highlight colour while the lyric is scrolling.
- Improved accent support.
- Added lyric editor to more neatly support editing/reloading lyrics.
- Improved fallback text, to remove the need for colour and alignment codes (mostly done, needs finishing). Also simplified GUI.
- Crash fix with long file names.
- Uses the new version of album art extractor.
- Other crash fixes.
- Sorted blurring of lyrics when no album art found.
- Simplified context menu and foobar 'View' menu (extra options available by pressing shift).
- Improved settings page GUI (hopefully easier to understand).
- Lyric rating is now saved in the lyric file (which was why the rating was not retained on replaying a track).
- It will try harder to display a lyric of the type desired. This only affects the 'prefer synced' and 'prefer unsynced' options.
- Retains the blend with background setting on restart.
- Sorted custom lyric search path (in file search) - it used the save path instead.
- Removed Internet search tab in preferences - those settings are now in the properties dialogue of any online source.
- Stopped error messages popping up if an error occurs with saving to the tag.
- Fixed loading/saving file names with illegal file name characters.

To-do

- More online databases.
- Sort lyric saving with radiostreams (saves with wrong name).
- Support for large windows fonts (hopefully fairly minor).
- Allow changing of background colour when 'image' is selected without have to change background mode.
- Load fallback text when CUI layout changed.
- Retaining codepage (maybe).

Lyrics display flickers and does not scroll when playing songs encoded in TTA with embedded cue sheets.

Have converted TTA to FLAC and it displayed fine.

I may be wrong, but doesn't that suggest that it's not an issue with the lyrics component? The component doesn't care what file type the song is so I can't see how I can do anything about this.

As you mentioned, the "preferred" seems to work randomly. I have set it to prefer synced ones, but I get unsynced lyrics sometimes and when I search I find that there did were synced ones available.

I'm experiencing repeated crashes when I enable automatic saving of lyrics.  Only one such crash prompted me to create and submit a crash report (which I did).  I experience such a crash about once every 100 songs played.  Never had a crash after installing lyrics3 with automatic saving of lyrics not enabled.  I've not added or changed any other component since installing lyrics3 more than a month ago.  I'm using what I believe to be the latest version of lyrics3.

I noticed that the lyrics are saved to the file at the end of playing as song (rather than just after lyrics are found and loaded).  Perhaps there are conflicting processes occurring as Foobar tries to save a lyric and switch to the next song.  I'm not a programmer, so this is just an observation and a guess.  Please let me know if you need more information and I'll see what I can do.

@ Dexter_prog:

This is what I addressed  in my changes.

@ godrick:

Thanks for reporting, I've sent you a PM for more details.

Any chance of getting a google search for lyrics in there? Not completely automated, but in the context menu - with a little UI to quickly tweak the results. I image this should be rather simple - take the source, strip newlines, turn <br>s into newlines, strip all html tags and turn multiple whitespaces into one. Now the user just needs a way to define where the lyrics start and where they end.

Thanks for this great update. Currently I'm having some problem of needing to select the appropriate code page for each lyric (japanese, chinese, korean...), else the text will appear as garbled. Was wondering is there any way to auto-detect the appropriate codepage?

Edit: Solved. It appears that I had tick on the 'Assume charset..." checkbox. Disabling it solve my problem.

An amazingly intelligent piece of software (am using v.0.4.6.15 now).

As a matter of fact, the quality and quantity of synced lyrics on the web are still pretty low, sometimes it's much easier to sync an unsynced one. Plus, my pen-player (MP330) requires .lrc to show lyrics.

What .lrc editor can you suggest (WinXP), guys?

I think he's talking about the old v2 of the component, not this one.

foo_uie_lyrics3

Ran Sagy's right. I haven't found any thread on foo_uie_lyrics2 here. Are the 2nd and 3rd totally different, or what?

Is there a lyrics synchronizer in foo_uie_lyrics3, then?

That would be a really nice tool for foobar

foo_uie_lyrics3

v3 is based on v2, but a lot got changed/rewritten and its not by the same author as v2. the_vern takes care of v3 now.

I haven't synced my own lyrics so far either, It's an interesting capability for a feature suggestion, though.
