some small bugs? 


Works for me for years. Never had a single crash. What am I doing wrong? Yes, I agree it has bugs and quirks, but to call it complete error and crap is too much from my point of view.
Also you said there are alternatives - what are they? WSH panel script which is horribly wrong way to make plugins? foo_textdisplay which cannot normally display synced lyrics? Lyricsgrabber2 which is not maintained anymore and marked as crashware as well?

"lyricsfly.com<a href=http://lyricsfly.com>Find lyrics on LyricsFly.com</a>"


That looks more like a user error than programming error. Set the component not to use LyricsFly and have it not search other providers than the ones you've checked...


jscolton: I have the same problem you mention. I never touch my settings once I get them the way I like. I only noticed recently because I've started finding new music that I'd like to look at lyrics and noticed that problem you did.

Sandrine: Unfortunately the LyricsFly checkbox is not ticked. I have others in its place. So what now? How to get around this "user error"? I've even tried to remove components that may conflict with it (old lyrics plugin).

Don't wan to be trollish but i fell the need to say it: the whole component is an error!


To be fair, you've not really contributed anything to this thread besides calling out the plugin. People take time to make these components and provide them to the community. While you have a right to your opinion, if they're not constructive, might want to think about keeping them to yourself. The fact that we've entertained them for this long is a merit higher than the value of the opinion you present. No one is forcing you to use this plugin. You are welcome to write one the way you want it.

To stop the lyricsfly.com error try unchecking both the lyricsfly.com check box and the very bottom check box: "If no lyrics found, also query unchecked databases". I suspect the the lyricsfly.com website has changed recently and that script needs to be updated since it cannot find lyrics that are present at the site. I also think that the leoslyric.com script no longer works.

That's what I said before but some people still insist on "programming error"...

Maybe because it is? The component shouldn't save invalid data as lyrics when the server stops working the way it did. It shouldn't save anything.

Just because i am not able to write even one line in C++ you want to shut me up?


Yes.  It's funny how you, who know nothing about programming, instantly blames this component when it's hardly the author's fault that some server decided to break compatibility with it.


For the record, I use the original "foo_uie_lyrics" to download lyrics, and http://foo2k.chottu.net/'s component for displaying them.  This is hardly a "quirk"-free setup, so I'm not recommending this to anyone who isn't looking for trouble.  (This requires converting all UTF-16 text files to UTF-8, and physically applying [offset] tags to each timestamp, as well as fixing really poorly formatted files, but I find chottu's component "better" at displaying.)

foobar2000 likes locking up for a couple seconds whenever it finds that Windows Explorer (or foobar2000's converter itself) is adding new files to my music library folder, but that happens without any lyrics plugins installed anyway.

kinda funny, i haven't followed this thread in a while...but if it helps I just posted this on another thread asking about lyrics plugins.
i really haven't had any problems with foo_uie_lyrics2 in a very long time.

to quote myself from the other thread:
Quote from: mrinferno on
i use foo_uie_lyrics2 quite reliably.
it has not crashed foobar on me in ages, although I never embed or save any lyrics.  in fact, I remove any embedded lyrics tags before playing them.
I also have the plugin set to search/download always, never store them locally [Save Scheme set to "Don't save"].
i'm always connected to the net so don't see a point in saving a bunch of txt or lrc files.


also on the lockup when adding files to the library, if you are using an older beta of facets 1.0 that behavior was fixed with 1.0 beta 7.

Whenever I try to go to the download page I get this:

Quote
403. That’s an error.

Your client does not have permission to get URL /p/foo-display-lyrics/downloads/list from this server. That’s all we know.


Anyone know the problem here?
Or maybe a mirror for the latest version, can't find it anywhere else.

You didn't find it because you didn't search. You found this topic, why don't you read it? Too long? Too much work for you? All you need is on page #25!

I’ve updated Michael87’s initial post with the two download links (something he, as a member of the Developer group, could have done for himself).

Nice plugin guys!

Could you add support for http://www.darklyrics.com/ ? Would solve a lot of my Lyric-Problems.

Oh, that's sad. Not possible to add it again?

Oh okay. Is there any good alternative that's still supported and in development? i just had this and the "normal" version but they didn't find that much lyrics for my music.

all lyrics are user-submitted... don't expect too much

and you can use foo_run to search lyrics from darklyrics.com

What if this doesn't help? Any other way to avoid the error?

Today I tried searching for any lyrics using "online search" and always get "Results: 0", even for very popular songs
Anyone having same problems?

@ Artemka:

That's probably happening because the error message has been saved as the lyrics for that song.
If you save your lyrics to the config folder, go to: %user-name% / AppData / Roaming / foobar2000 / lyrics and delete all offending lyrics files (.txt or .lrc)
If you save to the tag, you can delete this by going into the properties for that song and deleting the lyrics there (right click on song --> properties)

@bismuth:

The Viewlyrics site went down yesterday, but it's back up now (I'm getting some results from viewlyrics in the online search dialog)

HTH

No alternatives for this plugin yet?

Who needs alternatives? I've been using the olde foo_uie_lyrics for years and it's working just fine. No need to update. No need to find/make alternatives.... although I could (both).
