the default skin hasn't been tweaked, it is a copy of Xbox-Classic's skin (The skin I use). If you know anything about skinning, please feel free to fix it and submit it back.

Thanks stanley87

you don't want the viz to start?

is saving lyrics working for you? I mean are they being converted to ascii or do they display properly. Also if you have a bunch from before, there may be 0 byte files.

edit: committed the new setting, language files will need updating

i'm currently using xMC skin by leonardo
yesterday i made first step to skining lyrics with this skin
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=126...stcount=14

with this idea i don't want the viz to start

saving lyrics
never make tests - i have large lyrics collection for previous script and it's working with yours script

but for now i start testing

[Nuka1195]

I just committed a major change to the language files and the skins.

So skinners and translators, could you please check to make sure I didn't mess you up

Thanks

Synchronized lyrics are fantastic and i think it should be a standard option in XBMC instead of the Vortex. Just display the cover, the TAG information and the lyrics (synchronized).
Is there someone who could build that. Sadly i'm just no good with python.

[Nuka1195]

XBMC Lyrics skins now support animation, you need a new version of XBMC to see them.

Xbox-Classic uses animation for an example.

Skinners, you must make sure each control has a unique ID. and don't change the ones between 3-9.

Translators, could you please check to make sure the language files are ok.

Synchronized lyrics would be cool, but not sure how practical from python it would be.

changed: [XBMC Lyrics] version to 1.4
added: [XBMC Lyrics] you may now edit your own artist exceptions list for lyricwiki scraper in the gui. (black-controller/back-remote when an artist is not found)
added: [XBMC Lyrics] English language string id (100)
changed: [XBMC Lyrics] True/False settings are now a checkmark (skinners will need to update their settings.xml for settings to work properly)
changed: [XBMC Lyrics] settings pages are now determined by skinner, based on visibility conditions. (This means skinners decide how many settings are on a page, look at the default skin for an example, this currently shouldn't affect XBMC Lyrics, but other scripts are moving to this system so be prepared)
changed: [XBMC Lyrics] default and xbox-classic settings.xml files to match above changes

Updated xbmc lyrics

[zippy101]

will we ever see this script able to read embedded id3 lyrics?

[Nuka1195]

added: [XBMC Lyrics] embedded_itunes lyrics scraper. (Only tested with one song embedded using itunes 6.?)

If this doesn't work for you, you will have to play with the regex.

Let me know though, maybe somebody with better regex skills than myself, can create a better one.

Also, the songs need to be on the xbox. Maybe somebody with samba/python experience can make it work over samba.

thanks Nuka, where can I get the latest version - the one on xbmcscripts is old.

thanks.

http://xbmc-scripting.googlecode.com/svn...C%20Lyrics

I use tortoisesvn.

Also, note that until skinners update their skins, only the default(PMIII) and xbox classics settings will work.

So make sure you're using one of those skins to change settings.

[zippy101]

It didn't work for me . I got the latest version from the svn. I can see in the resources folder there is an ITunes scraper, copied several tracks over to the box with embedded lyrics but they would not display.

Sorry don't know what regex is.

This is a feature I've been asking about for a long time. The reason being is nearly all of my mp3 collection has embedded lyrics, so f I take it somewhere where no internet connection is available I would like to still be able to see them.

If anyone could take up the challenge of getting this feature working, it would make a fantastic script even better.

[Nuka1195]

you went into settings and selected the embedded-itunes scraper?

If so, upload a song with lyrics and post a link.

And the feature does work with itunes embedded lyrics.

Has anyone else had problems running this script in 1080i? When I'm in 1080i the script will freeze as soon as the vis. starts or when the song change. But, in 480p I don't have this problem, the script works great. I have a current SVN build of both script and XBMC.

Just wanted to see if others had any problems...
Thanks
