Thanks!

So the "timestamped 3" database is hosted by minilyrics / viewlyrics, did i understand this right? It's a pity that there seems to be no free lyrics database which has an open upload-API for any lyrics plugin. I assume this is the reason why there's no direct possiblity via foo_uie_lyrics3.

...anyway, the minilyrics-solution is better than nothing.

Hi,

Thank you for the great plugin.
I'd like to ask whether it is possible to save both synced and unsynced lyrics as two different tags?
I prefer synced lyrics in foobar2000, but iOS device doesn't recognize synced lyrics, therefore I have to use standard lyrics.

What I'm doing for each new album that I add to the library are:
1) Set foo_uie_lyrics3 to preferred synced lyrics and then use foo preview go through all songs
2) Set foo_uie_lyrics3 to preferred unsynced lyrics and then use foo preview go through all songs

Could the above steps being simplified? Any suggestion is appreciated!

Nice plugin.
Maybe you could add this page to search lyrics http://www.instantlyrics.net/

Very nice plugin, it comes in handy all the time.

Any chance of integrating Lololyrics? They have an extensive Electronic music lyric library written by the community, so it covers most electronic music ... and they have a dedicated API that would most likely make it very easy to integrate into the plugin http://api.lololyrics.com/ ...

Cool plugin, I really love it!

Umm, but could you add two options to change?
I dislike that i cannot change color in synced lyrics (the highlight is too dark for me as i have colored background, and it makes the lyrics unreadable)

Except that, great job!
(i have actually made this account just to tell you that)

Did you explore the colour options: right click/panel preferences/display tab? You can do what you want in that tab (in UI mode colours are controlled by UI settings and in that mode you would need to change those settings; otherwise you can use custom mode).

Hi!
I have got a question about the layout:
Is it possible that the highlined line(s) has/have got a different background color? I tried to to that by giving it an transperent background and putting some recs onto the spliter. For single lines it works perfectly, but if one part of the lyrics needs two lines, the text is centered and does not fit into the rect. Has somebody a solution for thet problem?

btw.: very nice panel everything else works fine!

Look this topic just above, I did ask the same question just before you ...the answer is:

Right click panel,
open Panel Preferences,
in panel Colours and font change mode to Custom,
set your own colours beneath
...you will probably want to set up a new background in the right panel as well

Uhm i think you did not understand my question... i know how to change the font, normal font color, highline font color and the normal background color. But i asked for an option to change the backgroundcolor of the "active" / "just singing" line.

Heres a pic of what i mean:

it doesn't seem to be grabbing lyrics from darklyrics.com any more

[WilB]

A quick test shows that darklyrics.com is working for me. So it may be worth checking your settings. If the problem persists please post some artist - title combinations that are failing where you know the lyrics are present at the site.

[Dexter_prog]

hmm thing is my settings have been the same for quite some time. The artist I was looking for is Klone, their last album (it is on darklyrics)

[WilB]

I tried various Klone tracks : Rising; Stratum; Corridors and all were found - but the capitalisation of the title had to be the same; e.g. stratum, rising and corridors were not found (same with other artists). I am not sure if this is a new issue or whether its always been this way. May be a bug fix to make the searching less stringent is required. Also if you're not using the latest version (see post #1), then please note that there was another bug fix to darklyrics searching a few versions back.

hmm, that's weird because I don't remember this happening before. Anyway, I just checked and the capitalization is the same for all tracks and it sill won't find them :/. I tried both the latest full and beta versions, same results.

What values do you have on the plugin's settings under Artist and Title? I have the stock ones

I retested with default artist - title settings. I am still finding darklyrics. In one test I put darklyrics as first search item and set it to search for only non-synced. I also tested with the right click lyrics search and all default settings (prefer synced & darklyrics as last source), which will search all sources rather than stop as soon is it finds a match and so should search even if another source finds a lyric. Darklyrics were still found. I suggest checking this way if you haven't already in case there are aberrant associations. Of course if somehow your searching was set to sync only then it wouldn't find them as I think darklyrics are all non-synced. Other than that all I can think of is to try changing the timeout although the default 1500 msec works fine for me so I doubt if it's that unless your connection to the site is slow.

Hmm, well I solved it by removing all sources and re-adding them. That's weird. Thanks for your help!

[screamingtrees]

Is there a way to automatically remove
"Artist: %artist%
Album: %album%
Title: %title%"
from lyrics that get auto-saved?
I tried removing that info from the fallback text, but that didn't affect what gets auto-saved.

Example pic:

How do I get the component to auto-save lyrics without those first three lines?
