+---- Thread: [RELEASE] xbmclyrics script - automatically grabs lyrics online (/showthread.php?tid=10187)
Lyrics gone? - detroitdr - 2009-09-05
Lyrics stopped working for me all of a sudden. (for about 3 days now) I've search the internet and thought I saw traces of the FREE lyrics are done now... Is this true?
Can XBMC Lyircs still pull lyrics?

Lyrics also stopped working for me. I'm getting a "Artist not found" for all artists all of a sudden. Can anyone confirm they are still able to get the XBMC lyrics to work ? I'll provide a logfile if anyone is interested in having a look

XBMC Lyrics has not been working for me either. all i get is a black panel even for the songs which already have lyrics downloaded.

not working here either
- thomash72 - 2009-09-11
guess we'll just have to be patient. Would love to have this working again. Being a norwegian, this script has taught me the CORRECT lyrics of many songs :-)

An update would be more than awesome
- detroitdr - 2009-09-18
Reading on the net... I'm not sure an update will fix it.
I could be wrong.. but from what I've seen the companies giving free lyrics don't want scripts or api interaction anymore.. as an individual you can still use their services but i think we MAY be out of luck.
dunno....

I remember that there was I way to let the lyrics script pop up under the right mouse button (i.e. the context menu). But I don't know how..... Can anybody describe how to do it?

@WhoEver maintains this script:
there is a haxy way to still get lyrics from lyricwiki, here's some code from a sonata plugin that uses it:
Code:
class LyricWiki(object):
def get_lyrics_start(self, *args):
lyricThread = threading.Thread(target=self.get_lyrics_thread, args=args)
lyricThread.setDaemon(True)
lyricThread.start()
def lyricwiki_format(self, text):
return urllib.quote(str(unicode(text).title()))
def get_lyrics_thread(self, callback, artist, title):
try:
# timeout = socketgettimeout()
# socketsettimeout(consts.LYRIC_TIMEOUT)
lyricpage = urllib.urlopen("http://lyricwiki.org/index.php?title=%s:%s&action=edit" % (self.lyricwiki_format(artist), self.lyricwiki_format(title))).read()
content = re.split("<textarea[^>]*>", lyricpage)[1].split("</textarea>")[0]
if content.startswith("#REDIRECT [["):
addr = "http://lyricwiki.org/index.php?title=%s&action=edit" % urllib.quote(content.split("[[")[1].split("]]")[0])
content = urllib.urlopen(addr).read()
lyrics = content.split("<lyrics>")[1].split("</lyrics>")[0]
if lyrics.strip() != "<!-- PUT LYRICS HERE (and delete this entire line) -->":
lyrics = misc.unescape_html(lyrics)
lyrics = misc.wiki_to_html(lyrics)
lyrics = lyrics.decode("utf-8")
self.call_back(callback, lyrics=lyrics)
else:
error = _("Lyrics not found")
self.call_back(callback, error=error)
except:
error = _("Fetching lyrics failed")
self.call_back(callback, error=error)I would fix it myself, but I'm busy with my mpd emulator and the lyricwiki scraper only has .pyo-files, no source ones...

@mots: What exactly do you mean by "Sonata plugin"?
- thomash72 - 2009-09-24
Thankx mots! I really hope someone with python skills pick this up since I miss this plug-in!!

A plugin for sonata.
If someone gave me the complete source to the xbmclyrics plugin, I'd give it a shot, but even on svn, there is only a lyricsScraper.pyo and no .py, and I'm not willing to start that crap from scratch :/

here you go > LINK
- mots - 2009-10-01
the link you gave me doesn't contain a lyricsScraper.py, either... (in resources/scrapers/lyricwikiapi)
