It looks like you are using the outdated version (foo_uie_lyrics2). foo_uie_lyrics3 does not have the issue you describe.

It is just an annoyence in the current state that the component searches for online sources although local lyrics exist.


Strictly this statement is not correct. If "Only query next source if no valid lyric is found" is selected and the local lyric search is first in the search order, then online searches will not be undertaken if a local lyric exists.

Yes and no! Let's say you prefer to download timestamped lyrics (option: "prefer synced"):  for the case that no timestamped one was founded and non-timestamped one was saved then the component will search for online sources.
Edit: the sideeffect is that you will have to wait some seconds for the display of lyrics although they are saved
Edit2: i noticed that at least the local lyrics are considered as best since the latest version.
Edit3: the edit2 means that i have moved back my request!

Hi! plugin automatically searching for lyrics, can i disable this function? It's a big problem for me, because i have very bad internet connection.

You can stop it searching internet sources by removing them from the search box in preferences.

When cycling through the lyrics with the "next" command then before coming back to the first lyrics i always get what you see in the screenshot. Is that intended?

@q-stankovic:
Yes (it may be desired if no correct lyrics are found)

And if i want to search them, i should again go into the preferences and add search-sources again in list. It's inconvenience... Maybe add option "Automatic search" in preferences dialog?

Or you could try "Only query next source if no valid lyric is found" with the local lyric search first in the search order. Then it won't search when you have a fully valid lyric saved locally according to your preferences, but will if you do not have a fully valid local lyric.

WilB, that option doesn't automatically prevent searching in online sources just because local lyrics exist! (see my post #478)

foo_uie_lyrics3

Yes I realise this but it will prevent online searching if the saved lyric is fully valid according to the preferences set which is presumably how it should be. This is consistent with your prefer synced example where it will still search if a synced lyric is not saved which is I think what is wanted.

I have both so maybe a conflict between them. I erased lyrics2 and apparently no more problem.

I think it is a good solution how it is now because local lyrics are considered as better than online lyrics from same type. And as i already mentioned somewhere it is even a nice feature that the component will always look for online timestamped lyrics that could be added newly. And the side-effect to wait some seconds before lyrics are displayed are by far not dramatical.

Just to clarify, it is not specifically local lyrics which are considered better, it just takes into account the search order you specify in preferences.

foo_uie_lyrics3

ah, ok! A question, as long as local source is first in search order:  it will be displayed for sure if not preferred type lyrics are found? and there won't be displayed an online source with same type (synced or unsynced) of lyrics?

Yes

I guess you changed the red marked part:
Quote from: The vern on
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.
Now it sorts by search order and picks up the first - very good way!

Hopefully i don't nag you with all my repeated questions! Here the last one (i promise!): If query-all is activated then the search order has no influence but the type-preference and rating of the founded lyrics?

No. Query all or query next only affect how the databases are queried, not how the results are sorted. The results will be sorted in the same way.

I am not sure what you mean? In query-next the results are stored by search order in special scenarios (like: no lyrics of type x found at end). In contrary the query-all picks the best result. What am i missing?

Or better asked: how are they sorted that in one case always the first placed local source will be displayed and in other (query-all) case the best one will be displayed?

I found a bug

If a song play and the plugin search automatically.
Sometimes you see "lyricsfly.com<a href=http://lyricsfly.com>Find lyrics on LyricsFly.com</a>".

If you search manual it found the lyric

foo_uie_lyrics3

Reply #495 –
If query next doesn't find the type of lyric you request it will sort the results according to search order (and rating) and loads the one at the top of the list.

In query all: It searches all sources, sorts them (according to type, rating and search order) and loads the one at the top of the list.

You can observe this behaviour by looking at the lyric search dialogue in the different scenarios.

Hope this is now clear!

@Zado:
You're using foo_uie_lyrics2. Upgrading to this version (foo_uie_lyrics3) will rectify this issue.

What are you using? Are you still using lyrics2? lyricsfly.com is no longer active and has been removed in lyrics3.

EDIT: @The vern was a little faster...

It was my mistake.
The text was still saved in the tag that was the reason why foo_uie_lyrics3 displayed it

i suggested something similar. isn't this what you mean?

Quote from: culinko on
6- and i wanted to ask something. since i changed the "query all" to "query next", when i do right click and choose "next lyrics", no more results are there. i know it's because only one lyrics are saved. but, would it be possible to add the 3rd option, for querying all, but only after the "query next" is loaded? for example i have "local search" in the 1st place. so it would immediately show the local lyrics (or 1st available) and automatically load all others in the background, so if i do right click and choose "next lyrics", i'll see next result. i hope you understand what i wanted to say. thanks a lot for your time and your responses.

I know what you mean: that’s the reason i have requested the strict seperation of local and online serach list. But after all it seems clear that the benefit for the user stands in no relation for the work the vern would have to do and also – as I mentioned – you also would loose some nice features.

Actually there is only one real problem: that you will have to wait some seconds (in special scenarios depending by options) before the local lyric will be displayed and in some songs they are shown after the artist already has started to sing/rap his lyrics.

What comes to my mind is maybe an option to load existing local lyrics directly, continuing the specified search and to display after finishing the search the first on the top of search order – you anyway can expect that in most cases it will be local source from beginning.

Let’s see what the vern will say but on the other side i/you can live with that 5 seconds at the beginning of each track.
