[RELEASE] CU Lyrics (Script) Addon

1. Is it possible to change the script so that it first will try one scraper, if no lyrics found -> automatically try second scraper, not found --> third scraper ? After lyricswiki started having problems I often have to change between 'time' and 'mode' and this is cumbersome. Ideally this switch could be performed the script, or atleast with a 1 button select ?

2. Is it possible to implement an option to record scrolling ? If I play a song and manually scroll, the timings for the manual scroll could be stored in a text file and the next time you play the song CU Lyrics will use these timings to scroll. (PS: I know about LRC lyrics, but CU Lyrics is the add-on I prefer).

Thanks,
Thomas

1. is possible, I will look into it and how it could be implemented

2. is probably possible but it would be reinventing the wheel as thats what LRC lyrics does. so I say "no" from me

Hi,

Amet, on which repo do you find lyricstime and the like? They only 2 available on the official repo are CU lyrics and LRC lyrics (which doesn't seems to work either...).

I tried XBMC lyrics from the googlecode repository, doesn't seems to work.........

Thanks.

Lyricstime is part of CU Lyrics, open addon settings and select it

Hi Amet,

I am a new user of CU. When I go to Settings->Addons->Lyrics->Cu Lyrics->Configuration I don't see any option for changing the scraper. This is where I found the option for LRC.

Is this option elsewhere in CU?

it should be there, "select scraper"... if not, what version are you using?

You mean, the version of CU? I downloaded the latest one.

As for XBMC, I am on the Dharma beta 3 as I was having trouble with beta 4 on my PC. Maybe I should move to the Dharma stable release? You think this might be the reason I can't see the scraper option? I didn't move to the stable release because beta 3 is working fine for me and I didn't want to mess with it.

Rc 3 has a different repo, you will not receive any addon updates until you move to Stable

I see. Thank you for the quick responses Amet. I moved to the stable release and I see the scraper option now.

Great add-on btw. Thanks!!
