Thank you for all the effort you put into this component. I hope that you successfully make your courses.

Good luck! hope to see you back soon :-)

The component is working great now, when in normal use. During a foo_preview-session I ran into this error:

• Have you enabled foo_deletecurrent?
• Were you playing audio files which were mslive streams, or tak files?
• Which DSPs you were using?
• Did you enabled foo_playcount_mod AND embed lyrics to file?

Good components.But I'm confuse who is this components's author.In chinese they say are major and ikiki.But it seems like you are the ture author and they are fake?

Overall, None of the lyric associations context menu options seem to work for me like they use to. I click and nothing happens.

foo_uie_lyrics: ERROR: I/O error (win32 #123)  <2597, .\main.cpp>

A small feature request:
could you add an option to automatically add to associations the downloaded lyrics?
Thanks!

Is there any way to change the lyric search order? I would like the component to first check local lyrics directory and only after that for embedded lyrics.

First off, I must say I love this component

The improvements you've made are wonderful,
But alas I find I pine for the former (not to mention non-transparent) version due to one small functionality. The lyric associations, associate lyric in the right click menu, it no longer contains "..." at the end.
This option used to open a window allowing me to choose the file to be associated. I use EvilLyrics to get and edit lyrics this component may not find(rare). And due to a difference in file saving methods, I find this functionality very useful and well necessary.
What happened? Was this a small oversight perhaps, or was it intentional? I am torn, for how I love seeing my unstamped lyrics scroll and then fade away...

Overall, None of the lyric associations context menu options seem to work for me like they use to. I click and nothing happens.

On a side note, the ability to save to an alphabetized file structure like EvilLyrics would be great. I find this, regardless of program used, a more efficient system of storage. Then again I may be the only one that spends that much time playing with my lyric files. I tried using title formatting to get this to work, but the string isn't allowed/recognized and a new main file is created to save all files. Maybe implementing this ability is the work around to this?

Thanks again,

Peace

I have the same problem. This is what the console says when I try it:

Quote

foo_uie_lyrics: ERROR: I/O error (win32 #123) <2597, .\main.cpp>

E:\Music\Lyrics\$left(%artist%,1)\%artist%\%album%\

I think I found a bug:

When I use the code $if(%lyric_exists%,yes,no), it always returns "no" even if the file has lyrics. I embed all my lyrics into my files if that matters. Am I missing something here?

Also a request:

Would you be able to create a tag such as %lyric_stamped% that would return whither or not the lyrics are timestamped or not? That would be great as right now I am using some shotty code to search for any instance of "[" in my lyrics and if it finds one, it will return that they are stamped (which isn't ALWAYS true).

Keep up the great work TP ^___^!

When just using %lyric_exists% by itself, it returns a "?". No 0, and no 1. It doesn't matter if the lyrics are there or not, I always get a "?". Again, all my lyrics are embedded into the file itself.

I am testing this in a track info panel if that matters at all.

Lyrics Show Panels will add downloaded lyrics to associations automatically.
And check your option -> Setting -> When found lyric from directory: ,set it to "Add to association"

You should have enabled "Enable field/function processing in titleformating scripts" in Misc of conf page.

The lyric display interval option is awesome!
This finally allows reducing CPU usage down to 0-1%.
T.P Wang, Thank you very much!

Yeah, this update should be awesome (thanks to the Author again!) but - how did you do it? I set "Interval for lyric" to 500 (tried to 1000 even), but foobar.exe process still "eats" about 3-6% of CPU recources.    I have two layouts of UI columns which are almost exactly the same, but one has Lyrics Show Panel included and other hasn't. If I switch to the layout without lyrics, foobar.exe takes 0-1% of CPU, but in case of layout wit lyrics - 3-6% in common (with rare peaks of 18-22%).

It doesn't hurt me much, but still - is there a way for me to reduce this CPU usage? (I'm using foobar 0.9.5 beta 5 under Windows 2003 server.)

• Transparent Background (on track change, on window move...)
• Fading(require GDI+, GDI+ is slower and take more CPU usage than GDI)
• Interval
• scroll
• font size
• panel's size
• "field/function processing in titleformatting scripts"
• On track change(related to lyric downloading, parsing lyrics, and so on)
• Cleartype

However, mainly, Lyrics Show Panel take a high CPU usage because it's lack of caching system and no hardware acceleration.
I plan for rewriting the codes in order to make use of GPU. (It will take long time..., because I'll add much features.)

This is what I do now, but it doesn't always work as I think that it should. For example: sometimes the automatically downloaded lyrics are wrong or have errors, so I choose to manually download another file. Anyway, the association for the song is kept to the first lyrics file, while I think that it should automatically switch to the second lyrics file instead. To switch the association, I have to remove the old association from the lyrics association manager and then I have to choose "lyrics associations"->"associate lyric" from the right click menu while the new lyrics are still shown. Imho it's a bit counterintuitive...

We will wait with patience when you have enough free time and implement all things above. This panel is excellent - let's make it BRILLIANT! 

EDIT: Btw, what is strange for me - it still takes CPU time I mentioned in previous post even if there's no lyrics to display. I set formatting string for lyric not found to "no lyrics found", update period to 59 seconds - and have 3-6% of CPU usage. Transparency is turned off, fading too, both "enable scroll" boxes are checked...

I've fixed these problems in Alpha 3 (with limited tests, backup old version first). Just have a try

I've uploaded 0.3.1.2 Alpha 2 [Nov 26 2007 - 23:27:49] to Boxstr, which meets your request
Changes:
Association now works
You can specify a dir containes titleformating scripts to hold your lyrics
such as:

Code: [Select]

E:\Music\Lyrics\$left(%artist%,1)\%artist%\%album%\

Here comes the link:
foo_uie_lyrics.7z

I'll delete the link and release it as (or not) Alpha 3 soon
