Ah, thank you.

EDIT: Working well. The issue with title ending with > to denote a medley is fixed. Thank you.

Search order is backwards. Please check it!

That's just because the lyrics have been sorted in order of your preferences (it's always been like that). It sorts by the lyric rating and whether the lyric is synced or not (not the search order of the sources).

Edit: further clarification

The vern:
Did you check my screen dump photo? Preferences "Sort Order" and search results of "Lyrics Search" column 'Source' shows what I want to tell you. Both work inverted (not in order of my preferences!)

It is just the way the search results load. First loads and next found loads on top etc.... Might not be intuitive to you but it does indicate lyrics3 is going through the progression correctly.

you may ignore, based on authors edit above.

Some regression since v.0.1.4
It's all about the Fallback text EditBox.

1. v.0.2 does not respect commented lines.


2. The EditBox does not accept  the crlf() command on saving. Instead, it's treated as 0D0A symbols on opening the EditBox.
But the panel correctly accepts ("displays") carriage returns.

3. char(1)L, char(1)C and char(1)R commands are not recognized any more.

Also, could you make the Fallback text EditBox wider.

yes, the search parameters apply to all searches (apart from tag search - because you specify what tag name(s) you want to load from).

Thanks for the great work The vern. Is there any plans to change the quoted bit? It seems to be the same in the v0.2. In particular I would like a way to specify a custom filename for local search, perhaps just below the custom path in properties. It is already possible to specify a custom save name, but if this differs from the search parameters (i.e. artist-title) the saved lyric file will not be found. It seems odd to have a custom savename but no way to actually search for that savename. This is crucial to my setup as lyric files are stored in a lyrics subdirectory inside the album folder and lyric filenames mirror track filenames (generally: %tracknumber% %title%).

As an aside, setting search parameters: artist=<blank>, title=<custom name>, works for my existing lyric files, but this of course breaks online searching.

What have been done for the improvement of usability is just great: i was disgusted by the lyricshow2 component and its hihly unclear preferences. Great work! 

Quote from: q-stankovic on
However, imo it would be a nice feature to have a replacement for the lyricsgrabber if development will continue after making lyricshow a well working component.
Well, after some thinking i believe i don't care about massdownloading anymore - the automatic save works well and there is also the lyric search for playing track that can be used. On the contrary i really would appreciate to see somehow what the source (tag, file, which online db) is without calling again and again the "about lyrics" window. What do you think about a simple dropdownbox that i already suggested: either it shows all sources that contain lyrics (in case of querying all sources) or the upcoming sources (in case of only querying the next source if no valid lyrics found)? That dropdownbox would also imo be nicer than the next-command.


How does the "associate lyrics" feature works now at all? When i rightclick the panel the commands are missing even when holding down shift-key. It is not available in the main menu too.

A suggestion: i would give the commands from panels context menu and foobar2000s main menu the same name. Now they are different: lyric search vs online search, the latter name is even misleading as it searchs all sources; open lyric location vs open file location. Also in foobar2000 menu the most commands are not greyed out when not available.


Following track: A tribe called quest - Scenario (it is available from lyrics.mirkforce). When i open the "edit" window and try to save the changes i get totally shortened if not other lyrics in the tag. Somehow strange! (when i have some time, i will do moire testings)

It doesn't seem to read the artwork correctly anymore unless going to the Panel's preferences, then it's gone on the next track again.

@Andreasvb:
Noted and fixed.

@q-stankovic:
The associate lyrics option has been fixed. (it was only displaying it when the lyric was timestamped).
Thanks for pointing out the differences in menu item names.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'dropdown box', do you mean in the context menu? (PM me).

@tdurjan101:
I'd completely forgotten about this request, thanks for reminding me.

@webern:
These changes were intentional (apart from the loss of commenting out). The $crlf() and $char(1) codes are no longer needed, you can control the alignment through the options in the window and the $crlf() can be mimicked with returns.
Many thanks for the info in the PM, I'm looking into it (it's a timestamped database in case anyone is wondering).

Thanks to all for the feedback!

Hi the vern!

Thanks for this great plug-in. The 0.2 is a great improvement.

I've noticed in 0.1.4 (and also in 0.2 as I just tried) that the plug-in seems to slow down the changing of tracks (or start of playback). I was developing a skin based on another one and noticed this because after my modifications switching between tracks was slower. The difference is small but I was picky enough to spend time to pinpoint the cause. It turns out that it was because I swapped the original lyrics show 2 with yours (a brilliant update indeed). Once I removed the plugin the problem (perhaps not a problem really) is gone. I tried to remove all search options, leaving tag search only, which I can't remove. But the slowdown persisted. Lyrics show 2 did not cause a slowdown. If you could work on this and eliminate its impact on speed that would be great.

Another thing I've noticed is that when I set alignment to right, the horizontal padding seems to apply to the two sides unequally. It applies less margin to the left than to the right. The difference is not huge but it would be nice to have this fixed.

One final request. Is it possible in the future to be able to customise shadow colour of lyrics? The current colour is very dark which does not look good at all 

Once again thank you so much for the brilliant work!

Hi Andrian,

Just found another bug. I use background gradient on the panel and fading of lyrics. When I do a lyrics search and update, two highlight gradients appear on top and bottom of the panel. When I resize the window so the panel is redrawn, they are gone. Also, they do not appear when I turn fading off. I can provide you with a pic if you can't replicate it.

Thanks.

Thank you for re-added %lyric_exists% and %lyric_issynced% global variables, this was the only thing that kept me from switching from buggy foo_uie_lyrics2.

bug in v.0.2 beta with timestamped lyrics, loaded from file via association.
single lines are mixed up.
maybe the causing is this: - Now support for [hh:mm:ss.xx] ('.xx' doesn't have to present either).
many of my lyrics have timestamps: [mm:ss.xxx]

I've PM'd you.

@stanleyguan:
This is the same bug that Andreasvb reported (although different manifestations). It's been fixed.
Just so you know my name is Adrian, not Andrian! 

@Manchesterer:
No worries.

@The vern:
Some observations for v.0.2:
- Both %lyric_exists% and %lyric_issynced% global variables get "stuck" - once you play a song with lyrics, other components are informed about lyrics presence forever, even if you play another X songs that don't have lyrics. (lyrics are stored in config folder, only local file search and tag search is enabled)

- Integrated lyrics editor crops text. I have seen txt files where 1/3 of the text inside is physically missing after opening the file with integrated editor and clicking OK or Apply (without actually editing anything). I can PM you a file that does that every time.

@The vern
Thx for the 0.2beta.

- Fading of highlight colour while the lyric is scrolling.

When the scrolling speed set to slowest, the fading speed gives me bad experience.
Would it be possible to remove this feature? Or make the two speed (scroll/fading) separate control?

Another request:
I miss the 'Reload' function in lyrics2, which loads the newly added local file lyrics fast.

Same problem here.
An explication, dear The Vern: it's already been fixed or it will in a next release? (i'm using 0.2)

Thanks!!!

... it's not finding lyrics ... even with very popular artist such as Korn ...

Korn? Very popular?   
Lyrics3 = NOT guilty!

EDIT:
I just tried Red Hot Chili Peppers (4 old Albums), it only needed 1 second per track for 90% of the titles!
