fixed some bug, update to v1.01

[Nuka1195]

i like the implimenting of the lrc support.

in refresh where you have.

PHP Code:

self.timer = Timer(2.0, self.refresh)
        self.timer.start() 


would it work better to calculate the time for the next line and use that instead of a hard coded 2.0?

Great script a big thank you

But I have a problem with music titles with a ', ´ or ` in the song title, because no lyrics would be found. Is ist possible to integrate a more fault tolerant search?

And another issus: under Ubuntu 9.10, in some files I have many □ in the text, I think it's a problem with UTF-8 or with the font, but what could I do?

And the last question: Is it possible to integrate something like a reload or lyrics change button, to switch between different lyrics for one file or to make a new search to switch after this the lyrics? For some songs your great script found more than one lyric and the one I selected is sometimes not the best...

Please give me some samples to test. the .mp3 file or download link.

the script only get lyrics from a chinese site now, so maybe have some chinese charaters can't display without chinese font file.

add a button to scrape lyrics again is a good idea. but in order to do this, I have to hack the default skin of xbmc.

Thanks for the great script! the only problem I have with this script is that a lot of my music is dutchmusic and the site you are using doesn't have that it did found some english songs.
Is it also possible to use http://lyrics.wikia.com ? or does that site don't support the scrolling?
I know there is an other script CU Lyircs that is finding almost all my dutchsongs but it doesn't scroll

I hope there is a way to have both (scrolling and dutchsongs)

LRC Lyrics need LRC file which have timestamps to let lyrics synchronized scroll. the site lyrics.wikia.com haven't LRC type lyrics.

If you can find some site provide LRC lyrics in dutch, then you can make a scraper for LRC Lyrics with that site, like what lrc lyrics/resources/scrapers/ttplayer/lyricsScraper.py to do.
