Simple Lyrics Plugin

Just finished hacking together this simple plugin for displaying lyrics stored in tags.
Its nothing fancy - my first c++ prog infact, but i thought i may as well share it.
ANSI and Unicode versions are included in the zip.

download foo_lyrics

Great plugin. I've been wanting something like this for a while but have been too lazy to program it. 
Could you make the font and font size adjustable? It's ok for English lyrics but for Japanese or Chinese its far too small to read.

great stuff, how about supporting timestamps in lyrics?

To start with, not displaying anything of the form [nn:nn] where n is a digit.

Then later you might look into highlighting the line at the right time.

Great plugin. Can you add timestamps support?
Second thing is changing source of lyrics (from other file, directory).
Can you write something like:
plugin read information about %artist% and %title% and then
searching in selected directory strings: "%artist% - %title%.txt"

Somethig like winamp plugin Lyrics Plugin for Winamp:
Code: [Select]

If you have only mp3 and v2tags it is ok, but what about ape(mpc), lame and other formats?

plugin read information about %artist% and %title% and then
searching in selected directory strings: "%artist% - %title%.txt"

For me it works from non-mp3 files - I put a tag called 'lyrics' into a flac file and it works.

I don't think it depends on the tag format!

ability to add lyrics using this plugin and a plugin for displaying currently playing song on your website and i would move from WA2 to foobar
also something along the lines of this for foobar would kick royal ass

That's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.  Googling for the lyrics and stripping the HTML tags?  Ick.

It should at least use a specific lyrics site, so it can consistently strip the result down to just the lyrics, without other junk getting mixed in.

P.S.  Wouldn't make more sense just to add the data to the file, if you really need lyrics?

ok a little update - same link as before.

now you can specify an external file to read lyrics from (the file must be in same directory as the song). use tags formatting to specify the file - default is %_filename%.txt

a little change to the config means that u need to specify for the plugin to look in %lyrics% - not just lyrics like i had before because i was slack  this is just to make it more standard.

i have tested the ansi version in win98 in vmware and it seems to be working fine. if u are having trouble with it just make sure that it is actually the ansi (and only the ansi) version of it in your foobar folder.

hmm i overlooked that part about a list of search directories - i can see how that could be useful. i'll have a look at that next. (timestamps is currently on the too hard list lol - but not ruled out. have to look and see how difficult/possible it is)

Dont read lyrics in tag...

TAMA: have you edited the config to change the metadata value from lyrics to %lyrics% ? it was a small change i made to make it more foobar standard (using the %'s).

Sorry, i am the idiot of the day...
problem caused by directly update dll and because i have not read entirely your post(a little change to the config means that u need to specify for the plugin to look in %lyrics% - not just lyrics)

ok these different text formats are giving me the shits.
an updated version has been uploaded.
ansi encoded text files should work correctly now in both versions of the plugin. utf8 reading is currently out of order... hopefully working soon

ok the text reading bugs should be fixed now    but you never know...

Edit:

added a textbox in the config to enter search directories. directories are seperated by a ;
eg c:\lyrics\;d:\

so now it first checks for a tag (default %lyrics%), if thats missing it looks for a matching file in the song's directory (default %_filename%.txt), if thats missing it searches the search directories in order until it finds a match - if theres no match you get <no lyrics>   

hopefully theres no bugs

crap there is bugs - doesn't find/read a file called Björk.
i'm ready to give up now lol - someone who knows what they're doing can make it
