Add XBMC Lyrics to a specific button

Hello.

First, i would like to thank everyone for their time and effort making the best media player out there. No one mentioned, no one forgotten.

I really enjoy lyrics with my music, but i think it's complicated to get the lyrics on the screen. I would like to assign a button, say "D", to be my lyrics-button. That means, when i play a song and press "D" on my keyboard, the lyrics will automatically come up on the screen.

I guess that this means that you have to make a shortcut to C:\Program Files\XBMC\skin\MediaStream\extras\XBMC Lyrics\default.py but i do not have the skills to make this on my own.

Is this possible in any way?

Anything is possible with XBMC.

I did the exact thing a few months back for my remote.

Edit the keymap.xml. Find the approriate section in which you want to add your button (Mymusic for example) then edit, or add the D (don't know if it's used already)
And then I used: XBMC.RunScript(q:\\scripts\xbmc lyrics\default.py) (this was on the xbox, I'm new to the windowsplatform, so the syntax for the path may be incorrect.)

Hope this helps you.

Thank you for your try, but i can't get it to work.

I edited the keymap.xml, so now, under MyMusicFiles it looks like this:

.........
<keyboard>
<space>Playlist</space>
<q>Queue</q>
XBMC.RunScript<d>C:\Program Files\XBMC\skin\MediaStream\extras\XBMC Lyrics\default.py</d>
</keyboard>
</MyMusicFiles>

Still, when i play a song and press D, nothing happens.

<d>XBMC.RunScript(C:\Program Files\XBMC\skin\MediaStream\extras\XBMC Lyrics\default.py)</d>

Should be like this.

Thank you so much Waffa. I missed that and when adjusted, it works like a charm!

Thank you all for contributing to XBMC!

I have the same issue under windows:
Subtitels using a Keyboard and I want to map it to F11 but it does not work

Any sugestions? the script does work under the script menu

Keymap:

<f11>XBMC.RunScript(C:\WINXP\Program Files XP\XBMC\scripts\OpenSubtitles\default.py)</f11>

Thats my fault cause I hard coded F11 to switch full screen. Removed it in #16946 as alt+enter does the same.

Try another button
Example: insert

<insert>XBMC.RunScript(C:\WINXP\Program Files XP\XBMC\scripts\OpenSubtitles\default.py)</insert>

<f11> Don't use numbers.(1=one) I think.
Don't now proper name.

I think is the hardcoding that was wrong. Cause F1-F10 work perfectly.

Thanks for the advice, I will try using insert when at home
