Columns UI is not necessary to run Lyrics Show Panel (Modified version) *IF* you use Dockable Panels.

If you do not, then you need CUI.

I have tried using Dockable Panels to display my lyrics with the Lyric Show Panel, but it only displays the Artist, Title & Album.

I have tried adding Columns UI, but it doesn't make any difference.

Also, I cannot change font colour or background colour etc.

Have you considered checking the Lyrics Show Panel prefs > Internet > Download automatically checkbox ? You might want to check that out.

If you already have the lyrics files, have you considered filling the Search path at Lyrics Show Panel prefs > Setting ?

just one little problem: i have the lyrics panel over the reflection of the album art and whenever the album art changes (for example when a new album starts) and this track has no lyrics the background doesn't update and i still see the old cover.
perhaps you could include in one of the future versions that the background is updated at the beginning of a track even if there are no lyrics for this song.


ok problem solved

the solution is very easy: you just need to hide the panel if there are no lyrics

I've fixed that and something else since Alpha 3, however, I haven't released it yet, for I think it's not good to release it now.

@Chaser
Thanks for reporting.
I've reproduced that crash today, however, I can't reproduced it again >_<

I thought this plugin would read the lyrics from my tags.

It can read lyrics from tags. In the box called "read lyric from TAG:" just put in your tag name. For example, mine is LYRICS. So I type in LYRICS. Thats all I had to do; simple.

OK. I didn't realise that tags had different tag names. I always thought it was simply called "Lyrics". I will check it out. I still need to find out why I cannot change background and font colour. It is presently lime green font with a white background which is very hard to read.



Also. Is there a way to get Dockable Panels to remember the Lyrics Show Panel so I don't have to set it up every time I open foobar2000?

Dockable Panels should not disappear between sessions.

Right Click on the Lyric Panel and select settings and you should be able to change bg/font.

If these settings aren't sticking it soulds like you have a profile issue (both should work this way with default settings.)

Question for T. P. Wang (unless someone else cares to answer) :

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=59361

Could you please try to answer questions 2/ and 3/ from the first post ? (assuming we're using foo_uie_lyrics of course).

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, they have been disappearing.



Also, as I have said, I am unable to change font or background colour.

I still cannot get it to read lyrics. I have encoded my MP3s with LAME and have tagged using Tag&Rename.
What am I doing wrong?

I also cannot get it to change background colour of font colour.

1. You should check your "LYRICS" tag first, ensure it exists. ("LYRICS" tag is NOT "Unsynced lyric/text" or "Synced lyric/text", which can be read in wmp, some portable mp3 players, NOT supported by Lyric Show)

2. Make sure content in "LYRICS" tag is valid.

3. You can change font color. If there's no lyric displayed, Lyric Show will display formated content in "Formating String", which you can edit color and font in a tab called "Formating String".

4. If you have "Transprant background" enabled, you cannot change background color.

5. You cannot change background color of a font, there is not a setting about that.

OK. I have fixed the background. It was set to transparent.

How do I make sure my LYRICS tag is valid? It works in many other players. As I said, I used Tag&Rename for my tags.

Also. If I close Lyric Show, it needs to be reset next time. I don't need it all the time, so I like to be able to close it. But if I do that, then I have to get a New panel next time.

I think you didn't read carefully about this:

What I want to say is that "lyrics" in Tag&Rename is not the one in TAG, instead, it's a build-in frame(you can refer to the ID3 doc).
The one in TAG I mean is a custom frame which name is "LYRICS", which can be read/edited in fb2k and mp3tag.

P.S: I think you should set TAG to "UNSYNCED LYRICS" in Lyric Show Panel setting.

OK. UNSYNCED LYRICS works. I always managed to change the font colour.

Now. There is a large space above the first line and below the last line in the lyrics. Is there a way to remove this?

I hope you are not annoyed that easily by other minor things in your life. You may find that you are never happy.

Would you like me to point you to all the other current threads with such quotes? Including this very thread by others who have been here for a lot longer time than me. You better go and attack them.


I am waiting to see you do it?

Here is one for you to start attacking:

I am quite calm as I always am in everyday life. Maybe I should be telling you this. After all, you are the one who is annoyed.

I just find it amazing that someone can actually get annoyed at something so trivial. Can you imagine how a person like this might react if something serious happens in life? It is not a good way to live. I am very sincere when I say this.

If someone is genuinly offended or annoyed at what I posted, they should have had the manners to PM me and explain that they are finding the post difficult to read. They should also have posted the same to other bigger and longer serving offenders than me.

And what is even more amazing is that the quoting is done by numerous people in numerous threads who have been here for a lot longer than me and have quite high post counts. Yet, someone decides to single me out who has only joined this forum a few days ago. Is this the way to treat a newcomer to the forum?


Sincere regards,

dypsis



PS: My previous posts were NOT sarcastic. I have a genuine concern for people who I feel overreact to trivial matters.

PS Addendum: I actually find quoting beneficial. Especially when you only wish to reply to excerpts of a particular post. It makes it clear and concise as to what you are responding to.

"+1" to Jose Hidalgo and q-stankovic. The only correct answer to Jose's first remark is something like: "Ough, sorry, guys, I didn't think I made it wrong. It won't happen again, cause I want to be read and get answers to my posts in future." All other answers including "Everybody around does the same bad things so do I!" are wrong.

Nothing personal.

Um...Yeah 

So how about that L.S.P. mod...?

Quite something isn't it

Really loving the scrolling of the non-timestamped lyrics...

Anyhoo,
All of my fellow lyric loving audiophiles should definitely take a moment to have a gander at the compelling poll/thread started by our very own Jose Hidalgo. Please take a moment to share your ideas, thoughts or comments. I think we could possibly change the way lyrics (online DB's and personal libraries) are handled with this one!

Thanks!

Peace

No, because this component is not a plain text show control, it's a auto-scroll lyrics displaying component.
