View Full Version : [RELEASE] xbmclyrics script - automatically grabs lyrics online
xbmclyrics is a script which will grab lyrics from www.lyrc.com.ar for the song you are currently playing. it is not a final release, but as i am going away for some days i decided to release it now. there are a lot of bugs i am sure, please report them.
there is one feature that is planned, but i haven't got it done yet. this is automatic updating of lyrics as song changes. i will add that later. the script looks best with pm1 or pm2 as it uses chokemaniac's panel as base (thanks cm). for easy access i suggest either adding it to the submenu or mapping it to a button using keymap.xml (this is possible, right? ;))
not much more left to say then i guess, i hope you find some use in it. enjoy!

hi,
first of all, great script! i can see this is gonna be a good one, but for now i have found a couple of bugs...
1) the panel doesn't show up. this means it just overlays on the current screen, which can make it difficult to read.
2) it doesn't size correctly for my ntsc tv. i guess it was sized for pal? is there a way to make it automatically resize?
3) if the song lyrics don't exist on the website, it will display the lyrics of a different song by the same artist. i checked the website and it does it too. i don't know if you could fix that in the script somehow?
other that that, this seems to be a great script! well done!
:thumbsup:
ok, referring to point (1) above, i found the problem. i was running the script from a subdirectory in the scripts folder, but the script looks for the image in the scripts folder only. i edited the script to reflect the change and it works fine now. is there a way to make this automatic?
ok, me again.
referring to point (2) above, i have been fiddling about with the settings for my ntsc tv. i have found some good sizes for ntsc. if you have an ntsc tv, change :
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(158,25,520,50 0, 'q:\\scripts\\lyricspanel.png'))
self.textbox = xbmcgui.controltextbox(190,130,400,350, 'font14', '0xffffffff')
self.addcontrol(self.textbox)
self.fadelabel = xbmcgui.controlfadelabel(270,95,255,25, 'font14','0xffffffff')
to
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(158,20,520,42 0, 'q:\\scripts\\xbmclyrics\\lyricspanel.png'))
self.textbox = xbmcgui.controltextbox(190,110,400,290, 'font14', '0xffffffff')
self.addcontrol(self.textbox)
self.fadelabel = xbmcgui.controlfadelabel(270,75,255,15, 'font14','0xffffffff')
it should fit much better! :)
this is mint well done :bowdown:

hi ! i did not test your script yet ...
anyway, i changed a couple os things to make it instalable anywhere :
add :
import os
on a new line where you can see other import
add :
self.home=os.getcwd()[:-1]+'\\'
on a new line just after def in the overlay class
replace the line (a couple of lines after) :
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(158,25,520,50 0, 'q:\\scripts\\lyricspanel.png'))
with :
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(158,25,520,50 0, self.home+'lyricspanel.png'))
____
as for the autosize to fit any screen, it is easy to do, but a bit longer... i will do it if none of you made it before.
2) it doesn't size correctly for my ntsc tv. *i guess it was sized for pal? *is there a way to make it automatically resize?
3) if the song lyrics don't exist on the website, it will display the lyrics of a different song by the same artist. *i checked the website and it does it too. *i don't know if you could fix that in the script somehow?
other that that, this seems to be a great script! *well done!
:thumbsup:
2.
i am not too sure on how i would implement that. i could put in an "if" check on the resolution, but that's perhaps not the best implementation (by far the easiest though, so i might go with that).
3.
this isn't really something i can do anything about. i might expand the script to work with different sites later, but as it is now it pretty much works just like lyrc.com.ar. if that site gives a wrong, so does the script. lyrc.com.ar has a pretty bad search engine, so it gives wrong quite often if it can't find the actual song.
i will update the script soon (a day or two) with the location fix (thanks solexalex) and probably a size fix.

to make your script fit any screen size, try this tricks :
1- get the screensize :
w=xbmc.getwidth()
h=xbmc.getheight()
2- you know that you made the skin in your own format (i guess it is pal format so 720x540 ; ntsc is 720x480). so the sizes you gave in your script are for pal screen.
just calculate a 'ratio' between your screen size and any other size : (your size is the reference)
xratio=float(w/720.0)
yratio=float(h/640.0)
3- now you'll have to tell all objects, taht x;y positions and w/h size have to be modified with the ratio. don't forget to say the result should be integer
examples :
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(int(xratio*15 8),int(yratio*25),int(xratio*520),int(yr
atio*500), self.home+'lyricspanel.png'))
self.fadelabel = xbmcgui.controlfadelabel(int(xratio*270),int(yrati o*95),int(xratio*255),int(yratio*25), 'font14','0xffffffff')
...
notice that xratio apply to x position and width
yratio apply to y positions and height
maybe sometimes, you'll prefer to make a position 'fixed' so play a bit wether you should use ratio for a value or not !
i hope this can be understandable...(i.e can you understand what i'm trying to explain :) )

link has expired. :(
can it be added to the scriptrunner?

if you want scripts added inside scriptrunner, you have to request the creator of this script : threezee
did a little work on the script today, trying to add support for auto-update of lyrics. however, it seems that xbmc crashes when you call getmusicinfotag() more than once. the weirdest part is that sometimes you can exit the script, and it won't crash until you start a new song. i could be doing something wrong, but i'd have no idea why. anyone else experienced problems using this?
the other things mentioned in this thread will come shortly..
i've used this script a lot and i have never had it crash yet. even if i play two or more songs in a row and look up the lyrics for all of them. i have to say, i am loving this script! i hope you can get everything working that you want.
well, it could be bad coding on my part. this is the function in a class spawned by threading.thread:
* *def run(self):
* * * *artist_name = ""
* * * *title_name = ""
* * * *tag = self.overlay.get_player().getmusicinfotag()
* * * *while (self.running):
* * * * * *if tag.gettitle() != title_name:
* * * * * * * *artist_name = tag.getartist()
* * * * * * * *title_name = tag.gettitle()
* * * * * * * *self.overlay.lyrics(artist_name, title_name)
* * * * * *time.sleep(5)
any suggestions?
self.overlay.get_player() returns xbmc.player() from the other class (overlay).
ok, i have added the two things as "promised". i have a feeling that it won't look correct on a ntsc tv though, but as i have got none to test with it's rather hard to adjust. if you find correct values. please report and i'll of course fix it...
i have got a new server, so hopefully no downtimes anymore:
http://enderw.emutalk.net/xbmclyrics.rar
i've just tried the new script. but it won't work. i guess as it works on yours it's a problem with the ntsc?
it really shouldn't. can you please post the error message? also, are you certain that lyricspanel.png is in the same folder as the script?

hi!
not tried yet !
as for the skin, if you want i can modify it to make it fit any screen size.
not very hard to do.

i was hoping that i had done that already, but if it isn't correct feel free to correct it :)
i have it set up exactly the same way as the previous script. everything is in the same folder. there is no error message, it just won't start. just flashes 'running' for a split second. later on, i will post the log.
ok, here is the log. let me know if you need anything else.

really weird problem. it works perfectly fine here...
that error doesn't make much sense either as it points out line 1 as the place of error. i suggest you try copy the script over once again, just to make sure nothing got broken during transfer (very unlikely though).
i haven't heard from anyone else getting it to run though, but then again i haven't heard from anyone who doesn't either. if anyone can run this script (latest version), please reply...
please state pal or ntsc - and error message if not getting it to work...
:thumbsup: reply -> it works fine!
i never had a problem except some audio_files aren't in database

it won't update lyrics automatically between two songs, due to that i can't load the song information twice without xbmc crashing. i have posted the update code snippet earlier here, so you can have a look at it if you like.

i'm not a python guru by any stretch (have never coded anything in python) but i'd try something like this:
def run(self):
artist_name = ""
title_name = ""
while (self.running):
tag = self.overlay.get_player().getmusicinfotag()
if tag.gettitle() != title_name:
artist_name = tag.getartist()
title_name = tag.gettitle()
self.overlay.lyrics(artist_name, title_name)
time.sleep(5)
reason is that the tag variable may well be invalid once the song has finished, so doing tag.gettitle() is operating on an invalid variable.
cheers,
jonathan
wickid script mate very very well done :bowdown: :kickass: :thumbsup:

thanks :)
finally another update (and probably last for a long time unless some bugs come up). this update include only one extra feature really, and that is that it will update as the song you are listening to changes. so if you change song using the remote, or the song you're listening to ends it will pick up the new one and display lyrics for that.
enjoy and please report any bugs either here or by mail :)
http://enderw.emutalk.net/xbmclyrics.rar
this is a great script, the new feature really topped it off. it's hard to think of anything you could possibly add though. i suppose if you wanted to go all out you could add support for other lyrics sites if no results are found, but it's not really needed.

i got a couple features you can add.......how about a manual song look up feature, similar to how xbmc look up album info, if it finds no matches to the song you can enter the song manually and try again. maybe the ability to search another website if no match found (http://www.leoslyrics.com); but im guessing this would slow down the script. if one website was set as primary and another secondary it wouldn't be so bad. i know nothing about python so ill let you do your thing :agree: . other than this, the script would be perfect (it seems bug free!)

this script rocks, no pun intended.
i continuesly get an error message that says:
"unusual page layout, no parsing built in yet..."
i looked at the code tried a few times, playing around with it, i made sure i had a song playing before running script, and of course internet is working w/no port blocks or other firewall oddities.
any ideas?
>> update >>
i followed one of the links in the python script it said servers were updating, anyone able to verify this?
now it should be working again...
why not create somekind of cache on the hd? where the lyrics already played are stored. when the same music is played again, the script just checks the cache and load the lyric from there?
why not create somekind of cache on the hd? where the lyrics already played are stored. when the same music is played again, the script just checks the cache and load the lyric from there?
sure, go ahead :p
seriously, it's a very nice idea but i'm busy with a more important script project right now (most of you know about it i'm sure), besides i got multiple exams coming up very soon. i will put it on the to-do, but you're better off if someone else took the challenge as i won't be able to add for quite a while.
thanks for the suggestion.

so i did :-)
i modified the script to save the lyrics on the hard disk. could it be submited to xbmcscripts.com?
http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1shxaisjvgf1n1er4necvddw6p
importerror: no module named tdb
any help?
sorry, i forgot the call for that module. just remove it from the import line or download this new package:
http://s62.yousendit.com/d.php?id=2a20p0113m68015l9ho7cjolcw
works fine, it's a great improvement when you carry your xbox to somebody without internet connection
what i like to suggest is a function to manually search for a song if it is not found

seriously though, dunno if it works, but if it works fine tell me and i'll update the one on xbmcscripts.com .

seriously though, dunno if it works, but if it works fine tell me and i'll update the one on xbmcscripts.com .
thank you! i'll try it tomorrow morning.
if you update xbmcscript.com this release is automatically avaiable in the xbmc install script too?
thx! :)
i'm thinkin'... why don't change the online database of xbmclyrics?
www.lyrc.com.ar is wierd to submit lyrics...!! :(
are there others lyrics databases?
thx!
the install script gets data directly from the download database, so it's instant, yes.
about changing the lyrics source, it works fine here (dunno about the submission, i don't use it), but there's no chance i will do anything more on that. i am way too busy trying to get this script installer/browser going to do anything else so please don't direct any requests at me :)
others are free to tinker around with it tho...
seriously though, dunno if it works, but if it works fine tell me and i'll update the one on xbmcscripts.com .
it doesn't work well..
the one on xbmcscript works fine

this script no longer appears to be wrapping text with the latest cvs? or is it just me?
if a line is too long, it repeats upon itself on the same line now instead of wrapping down to the next line.
after a little more research, it seems as though the lines that are getting superimposed are not necessarily too long/wide to fit on screen.
maybe the font needs to be made smaller or more lines made to fit inside the window?
i've e-mailed the author (or at least the address included in the readme.txt). i'll post back if i get a reply.
i have the same problem with latest cvs build.
some lines are displayed over themselves and cannot be read correctly.
would love to see a fix for this.
whew..it's nice to have confirmation at least. so it's not just me ;)
in the meantime if i get adventurous, i'll try editing the script myself.
my wife enjoys this feature a lot and she is getting ticked that 'i just broke it'. :d

yeah, glad to see it's not just me also. luck to you in fixing this.
here is the reply i got:
hi,
thanks for the report, but unfortunately i have no idea why that
happens. since the script works on previous xbmc versions i don't
think it's my fault.

perhaps it has something to do with the skin changes?
i think jmarshall changed some things with the line wrapping?

for a quick and dirty fix. replace the following. there isn't any big change. you might notice some of the paragraphs are split. you could play with this some more to fix that.
this:
def parse_lyrics(self, lyrics):
try:
query = re.compile('</font><br>(.*)<p><hr size=1', re.ignorecase | re.dotall)
full_lyrics = re.findall(query, lyrics)
self.final = full_lyrics[0].replace("<br />\r\n","\n ")
except:
try:
query = re.compile('</font><br>(.*)<br><br><a href="#', re.ignorecase | re.dotall)
full_lyrics = re.findall(query, lyrics)
self.final = full_lyrics[0].replace("<br />\r\n","\n ")
except:
print lyrics
self.final = "unusual page layout, no parsing built in yet..."
return str(self.final)
to:
def parse_lyrics(self, lyrics):
try:
query = re.compile('</font><br>(.*)<p><hr size=1', re.ignorecase | re.dotall)
full_lyrics = re.findall(query, lyrics)
self.final = full_lyrics[0].replace("<br />\r","\n ")
except:
try:
query = re.compile('</font><br>(.*)<br><br><a href="#', re.ignorecase | re.dotall)
full_lyrics = re.findall(query, lyrics)
self.final = full_lyrics[0].replace("<br />\r","\n ")
except:
print lyrics
self.final = "unusual page layout, no parsing built in yet..."
return str(self.final)
the quick and dirty fix worked.
what it does is that it does not wrap the text to the next line if it is too long. so you end up losing the text at the end of long lines of lyrics.
but that is much better than losing an entire line of lyrics due to overlapping ;)
good job! :thumbsup:
now this certainly isn't the most elegant fix, but it sure helped.
(keeping in mind that i edited the file as posted above to remove word wrapping)
i changed this line:
def showcontrols(self):
self.textbox = xbmcgui.controltextbox(int(self.xratio*190),int(se lf.yratio*130),int(self.xratio*400),int(self.yrati o*350), 'font14', '0xffffffff')
self.addcontrol(self.textbox) # starting in show_text mode
to this:
def showcontrols(self):
self.textbox = xbmcgui.controltextbox(int(self.xratio*190),int(se lf.yratio*130),int(self.xratio*500),int(self.yrati o*350), 'font14', '0xffffffff')
self.addcontrol(self.textbox) # starting in show_text mode
...and it made the lines of text wider so that they extended beyond the borders of the on-screen text box graphic. it also results in the page up/down button being outside of the graphic as well. but at least now less text is cut off from long lines of lyrics.
another option would be to leave the text box size alone and shrink the font size..but for some people, it may make the lyrics more difficult to read. but, you can try this instead.
change:
def showcontrols(self):
self.textbox = xbmcgui.controltextbox(int(self.xratio*190),int(se lf.yratio*130),int(self.xratio*400),int(self.yrati o*350), 'font14', '0xffffffff')
self.addcontrol(self.textbox) # starting in show_text mode
to:
def showcontrols(self):
self.textbox = xbmcgui.controltextbox(int(self.xratio*190),int(se lf.yratio*130),int(self.xratio*400),int(self.yrati o*350), 'font10', '0xffffffff')
self.addcontrol(self.textbox) # starting in show_text mode
..or just change font10 to any font# you want to see if you can find the size that suits you best.
well, the latest cvs still doesn't fix this issue even with the new python changes.
i have made a few changes that seem to fix the problem, although the fix involves adding a character to the end of each line...in this case i used '/' as is sometimes used in poetry.
anyway, here is the part that is fixed...it seems to be a great temporary fix...not perfect, but i know diddly about python.
def parse_lyrics(self, lyrics):
try:
query = re.compile('</font><br>(.*)<p><hr size=1', re.ignorecase | re.dotall)
full_lyrics = re.findall(query, lyrics)
self.final = full_lyrics[0].replace("\r","\\").replace("<br />"," ")
except:
try:
query = re.compile('</font><br>(.*)<br><br><a href="#', re.ignorecase | re.dotall)
full_lyrics = re.findall(query, lyrics)
self.final = full_lyrics[0].replace("\r","\\").replace("<br />"," ")
except:
print lyrics
self.final = "unusual page layout, no parsing built in yet..."
return str(self.final)

thanks for the fixes.
when posting python scripts, some of the code can be messed up. ( eg. def --init--(self): )
it's better if you could post a zip and link to it. there are many free file hosting sites.
uploaded here:

and please...let me know if it works or not so that i can get confirmation that it is not 'just my system' or if i need to tweak it a bit more.
i used it all day yesterday (it still doesn't make me a better singer :d) and had no problems whatsoever.
actually, this bug is affecting all sorts of scripts.
e.g. xmbcmail - the text wrapping in e-mails is all screwed up in the exact same way.
e.g. xbmcscripts - the text wrapping in the script descriptions is overlapping also
hi there. if there is someone that is developing on this script still, please consider to redo the code that detects media change. last time i checked the code. it had a codeloop that where sleeping and checking. there is a much more efficient way to do this.

Very nice smuto. :)
I like the layout. Nice use of language files also.
The first script using guibuilder. :) Any options you would like for that let me know. I added a fastMethod option, if True it won't use Includes.xml or References.xml. A slight speed improvement if your skin files don't have any <include> tags and all options are set.

problem
cover art for next song is not update
The thread update_class is the one that updates the lyrics when the song has changed mind you Im talking about the original script release. If the codes in there it should work..you probably already know that but I have been messing around with thread myself and sometimes they can be fiddly..
it's nothing to do with script code
i think something is wrong with getInfoImage(...) and guibuilder
hope @Nuka1195 can help
Hi,
Lately when I query for lyrics, the first page of the lyrics is some mumbo jumbo with a lot of lines with this : google_ad_height=etc.. or google_ad_type=etc...
Any ideas?
Also when it searchs, does it take the name or the band and song from the id tag or from the file name? Is it possible to force for filename?
Many thanks

I have some problem with the script
That's what appear to me:
<table align="left"><tr><td><script
type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-5856745585538965";
google_ad_width = 120;
ecc...
After this i see the correct lyric, but it's really a bad view.
http://www.xbmcscripts.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=search_result&Itemid=Array&search_mode=phrase&search_phrase=XBMCLyrics%20without%20cache
Fixed.
If you used an improved version you have to change that script accordingly...anyways, it's only the parsing code that's changed so if you use your brains you'll figure it out.
Script is likely to break as soon as the people change the design on their sites again.
How can I change the site that the script queries?
I have another site which only asks for the song name. I want to create a dupe of xbmclyrics for this site since it has songs in Hebrew and lyrc.com.ar don't.
Thanks

I have an issue with recent XBMC builds (e.g. 2006-12-08) an this script: it displays lyrics fine, until i skip to a song that has multiple options. Instead of showing the list of options to make a manual choice the script hangs te box requiring a power cycle to recover.
When I use the script on older xbox versions it runs fine.
Any clues?
Cheers,

not only that, if you accidentally run the script with no media playing, it hangs the system as well :(

If you don't mind. I'll add this to the scripting SVN, I'll update it to the 2.1 skinning too.
I wait for your reply.

XBMC Lyrics originally by SveinT and updated by Smuto is now in SVN.
Key features:
- Update lyrics now uses the Player on* events.
- Skinnable - You have two options a 4x3 (skin.xml) and 16x9 (skin_16x9.xml). special gfx go in there /gfx/ folder
- Saves lyrics in q:\userdata\lyrics\artistname\song.txt. If you don't want this edit the top of the script and set SAVE_LYRICS = False

changed: [XBMC Lyrics] Separated parsers into there own .py file. (So someone could create a parser to parser lyrics from mp3's)
added: [XBMC Lyrics] http://www.lyricwiki.org/ (Default, change it at the top of the script uncomment the other parser and comment this one out "#PARSER = 'lyrc.com.ar'")
added: [XBMC Lyrics] Warning message if no music is playing.
changed: [XBMC Lyrics] Language routine
added: [XBMC Lyrics] English language strings (10-11)
If someone wants to create a new parser:
- Name it "lyrics_parser" and put it in it's own folder under /parsers/
- The Main class needs to be named "Lyrics_Fetcher"
- Two defs are required:
- def get_lyrics( self, artist, song ): <- This returns either the lyrics or a list of tuple selections, with [ 0 ] being added to the ControlList.
- def get_lyrics_from_list( self, item ): <- This returns the lyrics after the user as selected an item from the list. item is the selected tuple from above.
The options at the top of the script you change to suit:
SAVE_LYRICS = False
LYRICS_PATH = 'Q:\\UserData\\lyrics\\'
PARSER = 'lyricwiki'
#PARSER = 'lyrc.com.ar'
I need to know if you have SAVE_LYRICS = False. If a list is returned to you want to save that file anyway to avoid the list next time?
just love u:) - wiki is much better than - hdd read support
Nuka1195
2007-02-19, 01:36
:grin: you have both, just the file writing is disabled by default.
yes, i know
now my problems
e.g.
artist - Dżem
song - A jednak czegoś żal
for hdd support i need to replace polish chars
UserData\lyrics\Dzem\A jednak czegos zal.txt
(xbmc convert all chars to utf-8)
#Polish non fatx_compatible chars :
name = name.replace( 'Ą', 'A' ).replace( 'Ę', 'E' ).replace( 'Ć', 'C' ).replace( 'Ĺ', 'L' ).replace( 'Ĺ', 'N' )
name = name.replace( 'Ă', 'O' ).replace( 'Ĺ', 'S' ).replace( 'Ĺ', 'Z' ).replace( 'Ĺą', 'Z' )
name = name.replace( 'ą', 'a' ).replace( 'ę', 'e' ).replace( 'ć', 'c' ).replace( 'Ĺ', 'l' ).replace( 'Ĺ', 'n' )
name = name.replace( 'Ăł', 'o' ).replace( 'Ĺ', 's' ).replace( 'ĹĽ', 'z' ).replace( 'Ĺş', 'z' )
return name
or take a look to my mod

for lyricwiki
- scraper returns utf8 formatted strings, but script display it in 8-Bit
smuto
Nuka1195
2007-02-19, 21:21
Ah, ok. Try replacing make_fatx_compatible with the following. If it works I'll add it.
def make_fatx_compatible( self, name, extension ):
name = name.decode( 'utf-8', 'replace' ).encode( 'ascii', 'replace' )
if len( name ) > 42:
if ( extension ): name = '%s_%s' % ( name[ : 37 ], name[ -4 : ], )
else: name = name[ : 42 ]
name = name.replace( ',', '_' ).replace( '*', '_' ).replace( '=', '_' ).replace( '\\', '_' ).replace( '|', '_' )
name = name.replace( '<', '_' ).replace( '>', '_' ).replace( '?', '_' ).replace( ';', '_' ).replace( ':', '_' )
name = name.replace( '"', '_' ).replace( '+', '_' ).replace( '/', '_' )
return name
it's working, but
try to imagine
my polish song name - "ąężćś"
from your code on hdd i have "_____" , i prefer "aezcs" instead, so this is why i made mod of your script
smuto
but in this moment most importent is wiki
i can only repeat
- scraper returns utf8 formatted strings, but script display it in 8-Bit
part of lyrics
Pamiętać, zapomnieć - śmiać się czy grać
and this i see in xbmc
Pamiętać, zapomnieć - Ĺmiać się czy grać
Nuka1195
2007-02-19, 22:26
First it's your script :)
Well then all I can say is add all your characters like you posted, then add it to the parser of your choice and name the folder lyricwiki_polish. Then I can add that to svn and you'll just use that for SCRAPER=lyricwiki_polish.
Will that work for you?
Edit: Or you tell me how you want it returned (what encoding) and I'll add the encode() to the return value?
the script should be working in utf-8. leave it up to the scrapers to convert to utf-8. any general conversion's gonna be awkward
Nuka1195

In this screenshot the album cover is on top of a white square. I think the white square should be removed since the album cover doesn't fit inside it very well so it doesn't look very good. Also I think it would look better if the lyrics and song information was moved to the right a little bit since it is right on the edge. Also thanks for updating this script since it was really in need of an update.

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://xbmc.org/forum/showpost.php?p=126918&postcount=14

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
2007-03-08, 02:56
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

2007-03-12, 22:15
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.

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
2007-03-14, 00:19

ok to be honest I didnt use Itunes to tag them, used another prog {zortam media studio}, but the lyrics still appear in Itunes under Get Info ==> Lyrics, media player etc.
Does Itunes do something different ? I'll try tagging a track now.

changed: [XBMC Lyrics] added the control to MC360 skin.
im having trouble trying to get it to work. i copied the files into the XBMC/Scripts folder, so inside that directory I have the XBMCLyrics folder.
I then copied the xml file into the PAL folder. Went into XBMC and loaded music, right clicked thumbstick and went to Info, pressed up and it showed Lyrics so I hit the green button. But nothing shows?
The music I loaded was over samba, so I then copied something onto the xbox hdd and went through the process again - still nothing?
any ideas? i would really love to use this script
Nuka1195
2007-04-08, 16:50
it's a self contained script, no need to copy any xml anywhere else.
just copy the /XBMC Lyrics/ folder inside the /Build/ folder to q:/scripts/.
That is if your using the version from SVN. if not, can't help you.
I got the latest release off of the SVN repository and I keep getting these errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Q:\scripts\XBMCLyrics\default.py", line 20, in ?
import gui
File "Q:\scripts\XBMCLyrics\resources\lib\gui.py", line 33, in ?
class GUI(xbmcgui.WindowXMLDialog):
AttributeError: 'module' has no attribute 'WindowXMLDialog'
Any ideas about this? I read the script is self contained and I've run the Build.bat script with no errors and copied the contents of the build folder to the scripts folder of the Xbox.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know, it works fine here.
Maybe a debug log and a screenshot of the messed up screen.
I will say if this isn't a build straight from SVN of your own or a T3CH build, I won't spend anytime tracking this down. There are builds out there that the date of build doesn't match the source date.

2007-05-24, 19:43
I'm experiencing a strange problem of black screen and than crash with XBMClyrics included in T3C latest (may 20) SVN build: when I run XBMCLyrics and it starts showings the lyrics, the screen turns automatically to black... in this situation when I press whatever key, XBMC crashers with the screen showing something like untuned tv screen. At this point hardware reset is required.
If the lyrics is not found, XBMC works fine with no crash.
I don't use a modchip, just softmod... never had this before (with previous build): is this something that someonelse is experiencing?
thanks,

What type of music are you playing? (mp3's...)
I really like this script and would like to have a button on my universal remote dedicated to it. I have successfully added the xbmc.runscript command to my keymap.xml. What I would like to do is have the same button stop the script. Is there some code I could add to the script that would check to see if the script is already running and if so kill it?

add the following to the onAction() event:
print "ACTION:", action.getButtonCode()
run the script and press that button and then press back to exit
the first "ACTION: #" statement is what you want.
then add that number to the following line and get rid of the print statement.
old
if ( action.getButtonCode() in utilities.EXIT_SCRIPT ):
new *remember the parens and comma. so just replace the # with your code
if ( action.getButtonCode() in utilities.EXIT_SCRIPT + (#,) ):
Thanks for the code NUKA1195 but I can't seen to get this working. I put the print "ACTION:" command under the def onAction section of the gui.py, ran the script and pushed the button. Where does the script "print" the button code? Nothing pops up on screen and I checked all the logs.

I'm using two different xbmclyrics, since the newer versions won't find French songs.
Nuka1195
2007-06-19, 18:47
Ok, I actually meant the language files. Would you supply a French language file?
About the songs, Have you tried both scrapers? Do you have a website that has French songs? You may need a new scraper if your songs are not on http://www.lyricwiki.org or http://lyrc.com.ar. Have you checked those websites for your songs?
post a song and artist of ones that don't work.
Sure.
For example Alain Souchon and antoher - Renaud.
Two very well known French artists. Both sites have a very limited selection of their songs. In spite of that, a much older version of xmbclyrics I have do find all of their songs I look up.
Also http://www.lyricwiki.org and http://lyrc.com.ar don' have Hebrew songs, but even if they did, it wouldn't work, since when xbmclyrics searchs for the songs, the letters a gibbrish and not Hebrew, although Hebrew fonts work as subtitles and while browsing the folders.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

2007-06-19, 19:46
The version your using for French doesn't use http://lyrc.com.ar ? That's the original site.
Then you'll need a new scraper. Not something I can probably do since it's a language i don't speak. Maybe post a link to the script that does work for you and i can take a look.

Did you change scrapers in settings? (white button on remote)
Here are two songs that won't work with the new versions:
Alain Souchon - Toto 30 Ans
Renaud - Hexagone
but there are tons of others.
I don't have a controller, which button is it on the remote? (but as far as I know I didn't change the settings).
I can send my older version via email if that would help.

Thanks again
Sorry for double posting, but here's a weird problem I just had.
I was using the new xbmclyrics, and I looked for a song, and it gave me a list of options(same artist different songs). I chose the right song. Then I restarted xbmclyrics and now for this song I get 'no artist found'.

That's odd, I don't know. If you had save lyrics selected, maybe that file got corrupted.
The script you sent me is the same as selecting lyrc.com.ar as the scraper. I get the same results also, so I didn't change anything when converting.

Make sure you have version 1.5.
Also no the songs must be tagged properly.
I do have ver. 1.5. Songs that on the old version still don't work on the new, no idea why.
Anyhow, is there an option to search lyrics by file name and not id3 tag?
Nuka1195
2007-06-19, 22:34
No, there's too many ways to name a file. If you had to change the filename, you may as well tag it correctly.
It's weird that it finds that song, but doesn't include it in the artist song list. For me anyways. If you have that song on windows, look at the properties/summary advanced and see if there's spaces or anything in it screwing it up.

changed: [XBMC Lyrics] Refresh song on certain setting changes. (save lyrics/lyrics path/use filename only)
added: [XBMC Lyrics] English language string id#(206).
changed: [XBMC Lyrics] Default skin setting xml file.
LRa, you may have an older version that's not affected. Would you do a french language file? Also if you use Apple movie Trailers, that could use a french language file also.
If anybody has the missing buttons in settings issue. JMarshall has fixed that in SVN, so update or wait for the next T3CH release. (If you make a change, the first time you move right 'Ok' is selected)
Sure I could do a French language file. I could also do Hebrew, but I doubt it would be used by anyone.
I'll do it over the weekend and email it to you?
I always use in songs name -> Artist (folder) -> Album (folder) -> xx songname.mp3
All works good, but because fatx limit filename so short. I think this naming system is better than Artist - Songname.mp3
But in future releases, if is possible test this naming system also.

I just tried and it works fine here. I don't know why if it finds the lyrics, then doesn't save them it may be an illegal character in the song.
Does it work for any song? Post the song that does that and I'll look at the lyrics.
I tried few songs in English and no problem with that, but two french songss I tried:
Edith Piaf - La Foule and Edith Piaf - La Vie en Rose
Worked the first time, but afterwards I got no artist found.
Both of these songs have specials characters in them, as most of the French songs.

Req: additional force update when song changes (make XBMCLyrics Shoutcast-friendly)
Lyrics update works great when playing "normal" tracks, but for Shoutcast streams, the "track" number never increments and "play time" never resets to 0:00. So XBMCLyrics does display the new Artist/Song, but the lyrics do not update automatically.
Can XBMCLyrics check to see if just Artist/Song changes, then request new lyrics?

I was playing around with the script (wanted to make it more obvious that it is reading from the file, eg show "Embedded" rather than the scraper title.
I downloaded the latest from SVN, and I get this error, in _PC and also on the xbox (also latest svn that I built myself).

I have no idea what is causing this but the script doesn't load properly most of the time in XBMC_PC.
Any ideas?
I was also looking at why the Menu / Prev button didn't work, and found that ACTION_EXIT_SCRIPT was being reset to nothing for some odd reason.. could be related to the earlier error though.
Also, I have a small patch here:
http://pastebin.ca/925930
Just to set the scraper title if its being used, otherwise show Embedded.
Nuka1195
2008-03-03, 17:15
In the top of the skin files i have a defaultcontrol tag, i think this is safe to remove, so that error won't show up, it may cause issues, i'm not sure. the problem is if you have smoothscrolling enabled, that control is not used.
about the "embedded" your patch would not work as is, it should have errored for you if it needed to use the scraper.
I thought about having "file", "embedded", "scrapername" and think it is a nice idea, so i can add that, look for it in the next couple days. it currently disables the scraper name, so it looks dim if a local file was read, but more info might be nice.
EvilDude
2008-03-04, 12:20
Ah, I hadn't tried to use the scraper, but that sounds like a good update.
The error does go away when I delete the defaultcontrol tag, however the latest svn version of the script doesn't seem to be working 100% in XBMC_PC. My XBMC_PC is from the latest t3ch, so perhaps things have changed that are stopping it from working.

I was testing the script on some of my songs (which all have embedded lyrics), and I found that:
* start the script, shows lyrics and 'Embedded' properly and straight away
* skip to the next song (or wait till song changes), it clears the screen, nothing for a few seconds, and loads the lyrics, but from lyricswiki.org
If I close the script and start it however, it loads the lyrics from embedded fine. I took a look in the python code but couldn't find anything that would cause this. I am not sure when the event is fired, but I think the whole tag may not be loaded at the point when it is called.
I found that adding a xbmc.sleep( 2 ) in the else case for mPlayerChanged improved the chances of it loading it from embedded :P Would you know of any reliable way to know if the full tag was loaded?
Thanks

search for xbmc.sleep(20) and play with that, remember they're milliseconds, try 30. 20 worked here consitently, but i only have two and they were local. so if you are over the network, that number may need to be larger. 1000 equals one second, so even up to 100 might not slow performance down any.
let me know.

- changed: increased sleep to 60 msec to hopefully give enough time for MusicPlayer.Lyrics to work consistently over network
- changed: reverted lyrics saving to original format. makes editing files easier
If you used the last revision lyrics script, you may need to delete those saved lyrics files. They got overwritten with a different format.
do you know the oel characters? "\r\n", "\n" or "\r"
I don't.
Is there any way to dump the Lyrics?
I enabled the 'save lyrics' feature, but that might not work for embedded lyrics.
Are the lyrics dumped in raw form in the debug log?

lyrics won't be saved for embedded lyrics.
can you copy and paste into a decent text editor, that let's you view eol characters?
maybe try the latest svn, i made a minor change in that regards, though i do not think it would affect this.

i just committed a fix to the lyricwiki api scraper and removed the lyricwiki scraper. so if you did not change your scraper to one other than lyricwiki. you need to.
also there are issues on windows, currently looking into it.

??? i'm probably missing the obvious here... but i updated to latest version (1.6.1) and i can't seem how to get it to show lyrics on song change. if i page down it immediately updates. i would swear that used to work but going back to the beginning of this thread it was an open item back in '05. surely that's been addressed by now and i'm just an idiot not being able to find it, right?

In my mediastream skin, there is a button show lyrics, is there a way to assign this script to that? It's so much work to go via menu and scripts :P

by skin settings you can set the lyrics script path.

Found it, thanks! But which file is the one starting the script? :blush:

hey, was hoping i could request a feature, if its not too difficult. would it be possible to use the normal scroll method (the bar on the side) for viewing the lyrics, so it would only use up and down on the d pad to scroll? that way, the song could be changed (with left and right on the d pad) without exiting the script.

that would actually be awsome mwaterbu. hope it can be done oO

it's possible, but you aren't using the default skin? there is no scrollbar in the defaulty skin.
if i don't post again in a few days, bump this.

oops i forgot.
this can not be done with python as it will break other features. but can be done skinning. post the skin your using and i'll see what i can do.

no problem.
im using the PM3.HD skin
What about an auto-scroll feature "a la" karaoke? ;)
Does anyone have a download link to this script? No one seems to work.....
Due to licensing restrictions the lyricswiki API does not return any lyrics anymore....

[XBMC Lyrics]
-changed: version -> 1.7.1
-added: old lyricwiki scraper back due to license restrictions by the music industry.
thanks for the headsup, hopefully this will work until i can have a better look. you need to select it in settings.

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions from some of the major music publishers we can no longer return lyrics through the LyricWiki API (where this application gets some or all of its lyrics).
The lyrics for this song can be found at the following URL:
http://lyricwiki.org/Bad_Company:Rock_N_Roll_Fantasy
(Please note: this is not the fault of the developer who created this application, but is a restriction imposed by the music publishers themselves.)

Is there a workaround for this (yet)?
