debug log might know, the folder name would be stripped of special characters

Just was about to update
It's not the name or path the problem, it's the lyrics itself, if the lyrics contain special characters like "à", "è", "é", etc... it gives the error and doesn't show the lyrics, is there a way to fix this ?

is that the file you created and saved? try re-saving it as utf-8, or use addon to download the lyrics if they exist.

thanks it worked , I saved it as utf-8 and it worked, so all the files should be saved as utf-8, right?
coz I have lot's of songs that the addon can't find their lyrics, so I have to create them manually.

Thank You so much

is there any way for it to fetch songs that start with the track number
for instance if a song is called "05 - Stay True"
the addon will search for that, and say no lyrics found

Hello,
the best lyrics database out there is for sure the one used by http://www.lyricsplugin.com. Recently they are having a partnership with http://www.maxylyrics.com. Is there any chance to add a scraper for this?

[msfc]

Since switching to the unstable channel with Eden I have finally been able to see CU Lyrics displaying some lyrics.

However the majority of the time it displays "... API failed". At first I thought the problem I had been having with Dharma remained. After it finally displayed some lyrics, I have now concluded that this message really means the lyrics were not found. If so, that is what it should say. "API failed" is very confusing.

CU Lyrics fails to find lyrics for a large number of very popular songs in my collection including all the Beatles songs. I do not know if this is due to case mismatches or special characters, as has been discussed elsewhere in this forum or due to something else. I think CU Lyrics should first try an exact match and if that fails, try a case-insensitive search and other permutations.

Also instead of selecting a single scraper from the provided list, the user should be able to rank the scrapers in order and CU Lyrics should try each scraper in order until it finds the lyrics.

I also found a couple of confusing things in the UI:

- When the option to save the lyrics to a file is set the Source tag at the bottom of the UI always says "File". It should only say this if the lyrics were read from a file without an immediately preceding download. If the lyrics have just been downloaded and saved into the file, it should list the site from where they were downloaded.

- The proximity of "Source" with the up & down arrow buttons made me thing the buttons were for changing the web site to scrape. It was not until the first time lyrics were displayed that I realized their true purpose is paging through the lyrics. I suggest (a) not displaying the label Source until actually displaying a source location and (b) only enabling the arrow buttons when lyrics are displayed.

Thanks for a useful add-on. With the changes suggested above it will become even better.

[DDDamian]

Love the add-on! Tweaked a few things in the parser section and now have much better luck with scraping.
Please please incorporate auto-scroll....even just based on the simple (lyrics lines)/(song duration) formula proposed earlier!
Thx man!

You've got a few Python/addon errors in there - I'd suggest a re-install....
