Re: [Banshee-List] New year and new lyrics plugin

[s0l1dsnak3123 <s0l1dsnak3123 googlemail com>]

Hi Christian, firstly I'd like to congratulate you on a great improvement to banshee's lyrics functionality! I have installed it from subversion (for the record, you need to have mono-gmcs installed as well as libwebkit1.0-cil) and it works really well.

Some suggestions:
- Add a scrolling lyrics marquee to the "now playing" section of banshee? (I'm not sure how you could detect the speed at which the text would have to be scrolled at though)
- An option to add the lyrics automatically to ID3 tags when Batch lyrics is performed (does this happen already, or is it stored in the database?)

Good luck, and thanks once again for contributing to the banshee project and making my linux experience even cooler.
John.

Hi guys a new version of the lyrcics plugin (0.8) is next to be released
but I need your help to test it.

What's New:
- Lyrics Batch: Download lyrics for all songs in your music library
automatically.
- Context page Lyrics: For people who don't like lyrics in a separate
window :)
- WebKit: now lyrics are displayed inside webkit
- No more lyriki support: Seems that lyriki is dead for legal problem...
- A lot of bug fixing and code refactor (see lyrics plugin on
code.google for the entire list).

To test it (remember to install libwebkit1.0-cil):
go at
http://bansheelyricsplugin.googlecode.com/files/bansheelyricsplugin-0.8.tar.bz2
or check it out from svn
svn checkout http://bansheelyricsplugin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
bansheelyricsplugin

Any help/suggestion to improve the plugin is welcome.

Known issues:
- Activating or deactivating the lyrics plugin when banshee is playing
leads to a crashes. I seems that there is a multi-threading problem when
updating the webkit content. I'm still working to fix it, if you have
any suggestions on that problem I really appreciate it.

Cheers,
Christian
