Now it works ok with no crash for tow days now
I don't know the reason
I just replace zlib1.dll file from the one in the zip pack of litestep
zlib1.dll

At first, thanks for improving of such useful plugin 

But I noticed, that tags in "Search path" isn't working. Lyrics is being searched in dir like "e:\music\texts\%artist%" but not in  "e:\music\texts\trivium" for example. And I think, it would be better to include search path in filename presets with option "Number of subdirs to process" (see Lyrics show Panel).

Foobar crashed when I accidentally opened a lrc file encoded in unicode big edian - no idea what happened, it just hung there, the panel kept scrolling too (showing gibberish).

Hi T.P Wang,

with your really nice component, I have a small problem. If there is noch LYRICS-Tag found it automatically searches for the lyric in the internet and most of the time finds it. It however seems, that the lyric isn't saved. Neither into the tag, nor to the harddisk, if specified.

Could you please check this?

Thanks

Thank you for the newest DEV version of your panel T.P Wang! It fixed my lyrics scroll problem because my timestamps were different  . I am now using your component as my main lyrics display  .

EDIT:
I spoke to soon lol

I am having a bit of trouble with the lyrics showing up in the incorrect order. It happens with a few of my songs, but I don't notice a pattern or anything. It's an MP3 file, correct header and everything, and the lyrics are timestammped in the file itself (under the %lyrics% tag).

The first few lines of my lyrics are:

Code: [Select]

But the lyrics panel shows them as this:

The lyrics don't scroll for the first 1:30 or so of the song, and then when these lyrics repeat themselves, they do scroll. I can upload the single song if that would help debug this issue?

T.P Wang :In the last dev version, every time track changes the background goes back to white(no transparent background). I have to go to the settings and press ok to get it back to the correct color.

Hi T.P Wang,

unfortunatelly the LYRICS-Tag still is not added in the newest dev-build.

bye

So, using metadb_io_v2 seems not work on initquit::on_quit()..............
I've changed to metadb_io so it works

It does not work, because you are launching a background tag update while the program is exiting; that implicitly aborts all background processes.

The latest DEV version broke the lyric panel format ([00:27:27]) that you added support for a little while ago. No more scrolling  .

Any idea to provide a better Japanese or Chinese support???

I cannot find the lyrics of Japanese or Traditional Chinese named songs in Traditional Chinese windows directly.

And I think, it would be better to include search path in filename presets with option "Number of subdirs to process" (see Lyrics show Panel).

I've add an option like that and fix the titleformating problem in "Search path"

Thanks for the bugfix, tags work fine now.
But option you added is not exactly what I asked. I meant the each "Lyric Filename" preset should include fields like that:
- Name - name of the preset
- Filename - template for the filename
- Directory - template for the directory name, option for subdirectory inclusion
- Maybe also Match Error Level
For example, you will be able to use this presets:
(Name: Filename (Error Level) : Dirname (Subdirs Inclusion))
1. IsAlbum: %track% - %title% (10%) : texts\%artist%\%date% - %album% (0)
2. IsSingle: %title% (30%) :  texts\%artist% (0)
3. Other: %title% (50%) : texts (2)
So, search would be more effective.

Find a strange bug - number of subdirs to include can't be saved. It has been always replaced with "0".

is the source code available? if so please give me the link, thanks.

The link to the latest version doesn't seem to work.
The version I have is "Lyric Show Panels 0.3.1.1b8 DEV [Aug  8 2007 - 18:28:24]" and the timestamp scrolling is broken. The scrolling support that was added by my request doesn't seem to work anymore.

Can I scroll (with my mouse) to another part of the lyric?
