[RELEASE] xbmclyrics script - automatically grabs lyrics online

Thank you Amet for this update. I really missed having lyrics on demand. Just an FYI, but I initially had trouble making it work. I eventually ran the script manually (used file manager and clicked on default.py) and chose 'Reset To Defaults'. After doing that, all the Lyrics started downloading perfectly! Many thanks for sharing your work!

For anyone having issues, I'm using SVN 24020 DirectX on Windows 7 32-bit.

I'd like to parse it all at once.

---Correct.. being that websites providing lyrics change like this time.. and possiblly in the future not working again.. would be great to get it all once now

I am going to add the XBMC Lyrics script to SVN repo, that way no need for manual instalation.

after that I will look into a batch download, but I am not promising anything.

I will see if I can make it "stable release" friendly before I add it to SVN Repo Installer.

Maybe try what Paco said in his post.

Thanks for the info

Couldn't you just run it from Scripts menu?

Use SVN repo installer to install or update to latest version 1.7.5

Thanks for the good work.
I have not installed it on my xbox (i will do it tonight), but your work is very appreciated.
Thanks, again...

I say stable as quoted from this site http://t3ch.yi.se/

I tried starting the script from file manager, but it results in the same thing. I'm not sure how to "reset all settings". Is there any gui to view the settings on the xbox? The only way I see of editing them is by manually connecting with a computer and editing settings.txt.

you are absolutely right when you say that it is stable release, but there has been so much change since that in XBMC code, I am not sure why the script s not running

you can try and manually delete settings.txt under /userdata/script_data/XBMC Lyrics that should reset it to default.

Anyone with XBOX using this can confirm that it works?
