Hi and thanks for your work.

Just downloaded the latest version and the issue reported here seems not fixed yet.

Regards.

Amazing. Thank you for the new version - works like a charm (ok, after writing this words foobar crashed, it was caused by clicking in minilyrics window which is odd)

Quote from: The vern on
- Added a Minilyrics output plugin (it gets the lyrics Minilyrics finds). Please note: Minilyrics must be installed and activated for foobar2000 for this to work. To install the plugin, go to the Minilyrics search properties (in preferences) and click 'Download and install'. If you want to remove the taskbar entry of Minilyrics you can do so in the advanced section of Minilyrics' preferences. I would also recommend configuring Minilyrics  to only download synchronised lyrics, as Minilyrics will guess the timestamps for unsynchronised lyrics (which I find annoying).


SOT:
anyhow - I've managed to remove minilyrics from taskbar alltogether, but is it possible to hide it completely?

Also - an option to 'ban' wrongly matched lyrics would be great

Yeah seems like Lyrdb is finding crazy lyrics.

Now that i have found some timestamped lyrics with the two new databases: what are these databases and where do they have their presence on the net?

I believe that one of two included timestamped databases was accidentally discovered by myself. After some testing I desided to let The vern know about my findings. He approved it. This is a backdoor to the huge and reliable timestamped database.
Unfortunately there is no way to grab lyrics directly through the front door. I guess this is a reason why the database names are hidden.
You can use a sniffer software to find the IP-address of the site and its front door. But the front door is really useless.

Of course, I can publish my findings in case there is no risk to miss the entry to the database.
What should I do? You decide.

There were 2 reasons i decided not to provide the names of the databases:
1) Neither have an easy way of accessing the lyrics through a browser.
2) I wanted to try to preserve access to the database (i.e so you can still get lyrics from them).

@wojtek:
You can get rid of it by removing both taskbar and tray entries and then just minimising minilyrics (not sure you can get it back though).

One more thing.
The lyrics site I've discovered isn't hacked. I've discovered it by doing the certain a bit complex google search.
So that the access to the database through the backdoor is opened by the site owner and is publicly available with their apps, but not directly through the browser.
I'm sure the way we are using is definitely legal.

Perhaps technically, but it would certainly be nice to ask. People don’t tend to deliberately leave backdoors. To think otherwise strikes me as a rather tenuous attempt at self-reassurance.

Yes, you are right pointing it out.
From the one side we at last have access to the timestamped lyrics (after a couple of years of lack).
From the other side today there are no easy ways to get it like we did it in the past.
So what do you recommend?

Don’t get me wrong: As someone with no official connection to yourselves, the site, or foobar2000’s development, I have no authority over what you do. But if the webmaster were to officially approve the usage, it might be good for everyone involved, i.e. no risk of the site blocking the component (disclaimer: I’m speculating), and perhaps publicity for his/her site.

Again, don’t mind me. I wonder what other members think, though.

I just need a confirmation if i understood correctly how the search order is intended to work: i am now in the state to believe to know how it works after some testing

Let's say we have some sources: A, B, C and D - and we have selected the query-next-source search behaviour and "prefer synced" as option. The search mode is following:
A synced -> B synced -> C synced -> D synced. The first succesful match will be displayed. If nothing will be found the search continues in following way: A unsynced -> B unsynced -> C unsynced -> D unsynced.

Let's say we have the same parameters but have changed the search option to "no prefernce". Then the search order is: A unsynced + A synced -> B unsynced + B synced -> C unsynced + C synced -> D unsynced + D synced.

Right?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way: i still experience some unexplainable behaviour. F.e. the song "End of the day" from Beck is available from lyrics.wikia and from timestamped2. But if i set as search order: tag -> lyrics wikia -> timestamped2 with query-next behaviour and "no preference" setting then following happens: the lyrics from lyrics.wikia will be displayed, so far so good - but applying the "next" command from context menu doesn't show the lyrics from timestamped2 but just no lyrics.

I really learned to appreciate this component since the vern did a great job in regard to usability but all that stuff around search order is sometimes difficult to comprehend!

I don't know if anybody got this problem, but if i choose only local search and the path have (), lyrics aren't locate. Ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\EvilLyrics\Lyrics. I changed to C:\Lyrics and works great (I Can live with this).
But i have another big problem: If a file name have ' (ex: Bee Gees - If I Can't Have You) or - (Ex: A-Ha - Take On Me) or even () (Ex: Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You) the lyrics arent loaded. The curious thing : When i use any db engine and download the lyrics, they are formatted with _. After a download, the lyrics are show and if i reload, lyrics still there. But if i close and open Foobar, they don't load anymore.
Im using Win7 X64 with Portuguese Language.
Is there some tips for local search (like titleformating, etc..) or something that i forgot to configure??

Sorry for my bad english

Thanks in advance.....

I guess that's wrong what i wrote and the correct order is: A synced -> A unsynced -> B synced -> B unsynced -C synced -> C unsynced and so on.

The vern, i would really appreciate if you could list up all possible search orders in such a simple notation: first parameter is query next or query all; the second is prefer (un)selected) or no preference. That would result in 4 possible notations. (all other combinations are deducible).

I am still not able to understand the behaviour i've described here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=778434. Let me correct my earlier posting: if no synced lyrics are found (sorry for writing wrongly "unsynced") then the tag conten won't be displayed. why?

First thank for this, but i have a problem i dont found any lyrics, the plugin only found the lyrics that i have downloaded in the past with the older version, and the tag lyrics.

As you can set configuration to not look for anything, Screenshots of your settings would be more informative.

Don't know if that is a bug or a problem on lyrics.wikia: there are some lyrics that are reported to be LRC although there are not timestamped. The effect is that non-timestamped lyrics are saved in the <LYRICS> field. Example: Camp Lo (artist) - Luchini AKA This Is It (title)

@q-stankovic:

Query next source:
Let's say you prefer type X lyrics (where X is synced or unsynced).
It will first query database A for any type of lyrics (synced or not). If it finds a lyric of type X from A, this will be loaded and the search will stop. If no lyric of type X is found from A it moves on to the next database (i.e. B) and repeats the same process. If the search reaches the end of the databases without finding a lyric of type X, it sorts any available lyrics and loads the best one.

Where 'no preference' is selected as the type of lyric to load:
Query next: It will load the first lyric it finds.
Query all: It will search all and load the one with the best rating.

Query all:
It queries all databases, sorts the results and then loads the best one. (sorted according to whether you prefer synced or not and the lyric's rating).

Quote from: q-stankovic on
if no synced lyrics are found then the tag conten won't be displayed. why?
Most likely because the lyrics results are not specifically sorted according to your search order preferences (this will be rectified in the next release).

I hope this helps to clarify things!

@sabrespectre:
You have to specify the custom load directory in the local file search properties (in preferences).

@Kaz28100:
You have to enable the internet searches (they're not enabled by default). You can do this in the preferences page.

hi guys, i finally got it working and even customized a bit:) i just got 3 questions for you, hope someone will help me. first is: is it normal, that internet search is taking 5-10 seconds? it's not that long, i'm only wondering if it's okay. second question is, sometimes, i accidentally drag synced lyrics and it automatically scrolls them and adjust offset. it's possible to disable this kind of behaviour? to be unable to drag the synced lyrics and adjust offset. to be able to drag only unsynced lyrics. and last question, will be possible to add *SYNCED* and *UNSYNCED* text for example to the upper right corner automatically? (change font, color (each different), location, etc. just reserve one "line" for it). it would be AWESOME. thanks a lot!

edit: i moved the local directory for lyrics, changed the path also in "lyric saving" tab and changed it in local file search/properties. but it won't load the saved lyrics (saving lyrics is ok). do i have to change it elsewhere too to make it work? thanks.

Thank you for clarifying! 

A further question: the local sources (tag or file) are handled in same way like the online sources when they are queried? If prefer synced is enabled and a tag with unsynced lyrics exists then the component queries the online databases for lyrics? If so: Does the component consider the lyrics tag as best one? If not that would explain the behaviour that confused me. IMO the local sources should - when it comes to comparison in certain circumstances (depending by user settings) - always be considered as better than the lyrics from online sources. On the other side: theoratically the displayed online lyrics could be better than the lyrics by tag because new lyrics was added to online sources or the settings of the component are changed but then the automatics saving won't be applied. The user could do that manually from context menu but sadly has no knowledge that the displayed lyrics are from an online source. And even if he would know that he also has to remember that a lyrics tag exists before doing the manual saving.

Also i hope you noticed my confusion with the next command in bottom part of post #413. By what you have told about the search order that must be a bug? Another question to the next command: the query-next + prefer x type lyrics after reaching end of databases without succes queries then all available lyrics; also you can set as user the complete behaviour as query-all. In that cases: how works the next command? Does it use the internal order (by rating and preference) as order for display?

Probably almost all other users don't care about that complexity so please apologize my nagging!
