1. Is it possible to change the script so that it first will try one scraper, if no lyrics found -> automatically try second scraper, not found --> third scraper ? After lyricswiki started having problems I often have to change between 'time' and 'mode' and this is cumbersome. Ideally this switch could be performed the script, or atleast with a 1 button select ?

2. Is it possible to implement an option to record scrolling ? If I play a song and manually scroll, the timings for the manual scroll could be stored in a text file and the next time you play the song CU Lyrics will use these timings to scroll. (PS: I know about LRC lyrics, but CU Lyrics is the add-on I prefer).

Thanks,
Thomas

1. is possible, I will look into it and how it could be implemented

2. is probably possible but it would be reinventing the wheel as thats what LRC lyrics does. so I say "no" from me

Hi,

Amet, on which repo do you find lyricstime and the like? They only 2 available on the official repo are CU lyrics and LRC lyrics (which doesn't seems to work either...).

I tried XBMC lyrics from the googlecode repository, doesn't seems to work.........

Thanks.

Lyricstime is part of CU Lyrics, open addon settings and select it

[Heinlein2302]

Hi Amet,

I am a new user of CU. When I go to Settings->Addons->Lyrics->Cu Lyrics->Configuration I don't see any option for changing the scraper. This is where I found the option for LRC.

Is this option elsewhere in CU?

Best,

it should be there, "select scraper"... if not, what version are you using?

You mean, the version of CU? I downloaded the latest one.

As for XBMC, I am on the Dharma beta 3 as I was having trouble with beta 4 on my PC. Maybe I should move to the Dharma stable release? You think this might be the reason I can't see the scraper option? I didn't move to the stable release because beta 3 is working fine for me and I didn't want to mess with it.

Rc 3 has a different repo, you will not receive any addon updates until you move to Stable

I see. Thank you for the quick responses Amet. I moved to the stable release and I see the scraper option now.

Great add-on btw. Thanks!!

Hi,

I am using Xbmc 10.1 on linux debian (squeeze/sid) with CU Lyrics 1.0.1

I can't get the CU lyrics addon working for any song. I always get a "Fetching lyrics from LyricWiki.org API failed"

Here is a sample of debug.log

Code:

Any idea ?

Try other scraper, lyrics wiki is very bad lately.

[hendoben]

I'm getting 'fetching lyrics from ***********.com API failed' with all the fetchers.
