MC show lyrics on mac situation..grim?
« on: November 29, 2018, 05:10:08 am »
Hi :)

so it seems that on a mac there isnt any support for Track Info Plugins etc and this its impossible to get lyrics to show when songs are playing on a mac
anyone has alternatives for this? suggested external tools that can follow MC playlist as it changes and show lyrics? other options?

best

I haven't seen any plugins for MC for Mac (or Linux either), so it's likely grim unless somebody decides to make one.

This would probably need to be written by the JRiver team.  Because, as far as I know, there's no way to write any kind of extension for MC for Mac.  It doesn't work with the Windows development tools that are documented for the Windows version.  There's always MCWS, but it doesn't provide hooks that are nearly deep enough to do something like this as far as I'm aware.
