Ok Installed script and left directory to XBMC lyrics.

I copied about 50 songs to a unique directory to test script on.

I ran script and 1 of 49 Songs displays. (In the lyrics directory I see the Artists directory created and the first song.txt which is 0 bytes

Nothing happens after that.

I have to force close XBMC

Running win XP

i've had not much time to test this, but there are two things i've noticed.
this was tested on linux, so maybe these are platform specific issues.

- script crashes when there's a special character in the song title, like Æ
debug log

- i doesn't work when your music is stored on a smb drive
debug log


other than that, once again, a very cool script. ;-)

cheers mate.

do you mind trying with debug log off in script settings?

I will see what I can do about it... it shouldn't be too difficult

I have tested on windows and it works , not sure why it fails on your side.

you have downloaded 0.7? try disabling the debug log as well in script settings

Its almost 4AM here, I need some sleep , I will do some more tests and let you know tomorrow.

Cheers

sure, no problem.
without debuglogging the script doesn't crash.....but xbmc does.
