Nice feature and fixes!

Thanks!

Hi there
I was wondering if anybody got this script working on Aeon skin. To be specific i am using Aeon Phil65 mod on Ubuntu Karmic / XBMC 9.11 beta.
I will appreciate any feedback and thank you very much for making XBMC better every day

I like the new release Amet. Any progress with the apostrophe (') / capitalization issue? I also noticed that symbols like (&) cause your script grief. I know you tried to hack in the &quote; workaround with but it still appears in many songs (I've also run into & in some songs).

Great script!
Thanks

It is on my list, I will look into it soon.

not sure if Aeon has Lyrics button. Best to ask the same question on Aeon forums.

as far as the script goes there is no limitation to what skin you are using.

Amet, many thanks for the script!

I really like to look up the lyrics when I don't get them just by listening to the song. Thanks again!

The idea to store the files in a place permanently, so that the don't need to be downloaded again, sounds also very useful.

Here are a couple of thoughts a got by using CU Lyrics (I was using foobar 2000 with the Lyric Show panel for some time) before switching over to XBMC for all my media:

- a very interesting site for lyrics could be: http://www.viewlyrics.com/ It is used by quite a few important lyrics plugins (like the commerical minilyrics plugin: http://www.crintsoft.com/).

- Some of those plugins are mainly using LRC-files (I think that e.g. on the viewlyrics-site most are actually LRC files) and they use it to highlight the current line (which is a bit off most of the times) and -- more importantly -- to implement autoscrolling, which works really well. So it really not for the karaoke that I like those LRC files, but for the automatic scrolling.

- It would be really cool if I would not have to open that window everytime (which then blocks basically all other interactions with XBMC), but I guess that's a limitation of the script-concept in XBMC.


In case you are not familiar with the foobar2000 with lyrics plugin, I attached a screenshot:

try version 0.7.1 on SVN repo installer. I would appreciate the feedback as my music library is almost nonexistent.

v 0.7.1 should fix """, "&" and others, as for the ( ' ) issue , the script will not capitalize any artist or song name with ( ' ) in it. the best would probably be to search for it in a title and decapitalize the letter after it.


I will have some more time over the weekend and I should be able to fix it.
