Here's another one: If you select "Playing Now" in "Get file list from", and then "preview" a track, rather than play in PN, the selected track overwrites PN and all other tracks are cleared from PN. Refreshing via "Get File List From"/PN confirms this.

Yeah, that's how it works. It has to stop MC from playing what it's currently playing and then play what you wanted. It seemed the easiest way to accomplish this was to wipe PN, play the file you asked it to, then repopulate PN once you "Return".

Did anybody who installed the latest build lose their Refresh button? Somehow it got pushed over underneath something else, but I wasn't sure if it was the copy I was working on here, or if I posted it like that...

jgreen · « **Reply #152 on:** May 23, 2006, 04:19:31 pm »

Yeah, I meant to say that PN is failing to repopulate, at least after hitting "Just save data". Only the preview track is left in PN. This is true of 1.0.2 and 1.2.0 (last 2 versions).

--NEW: The refresh button is gone from the "Get File List From" function.

--Still There: "Just save data " doesn't update the color scheme to green.

It'll only repopulate if you click the "Return" button.

I'll upload a new build that fixes that.

This is working for me. You won't actually be able to see the color change until you move to a new file though, due to the item being highlighted from being the selected item.

I posted in the regular MC forum that for some reason MC wouldn't start. The splash screen would appear and that's it. I uninstalled Lyrics Editor and MC would start. This combination works fine on one of my computers, however on my laptop this problem happens. I know I used to have a version of Lyrics Editor that worked on the laptop so something changed in recent versions to cause the problem.

jgreen · « **Reply #155 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:04:48 pm »

Doof,
Thanks to your clear and straightforward program interface, I'm confident I know how the program works (thanks to your efforts). Every version after .9.9.9 has been broken for me. Currently I experience:

--Failure to repopulate PN after using "preview" and "just save data" and then returning via "return".

--Failure of the "return" button to activate once preview has been enabled, necessitating stopping the playback externally.

--The lack of a refresh button for "Get file list from", which you know about.

Doof, it's only thanks to your efforts that we have this great plugin. I'm happy to try your next rev, but at this point I have to believe that the issues I'm experiencing are only happening on my machine. So I'm happy to go back to .9.9.9, which I believe was perfect as it was. Thank you again for your hard work and great plugin!

Ah, ok... I'm following you, now. And I've reproduced it. You gotta be clearer with your bug reports, man!

Doof · « **Reply #157 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:23:23 pm »

Ok, 1.2.1 sees the return of the refresh button and hopefully a smarter "Return" button.

Let me know if this clears up all the things you were seeing, j.

Ok, I think I've reproduced this. By any chance, was Playing Now on your laptop empty when you started seeing the problem? If so, then I think I got it fixed. Download the newest build (1.2.2) and let me know if it takes care of it.

There's probably a 99% chance that Playing Now was empty. Before I close MC, I usually clear Playing Now and do a backup so another machine on my network can do a restore of the library. No real reason to clear Playing Now. When I get home, I'll download the latest version and try it. Thanks!

Doof, yes, the latest build is now working on my laptop. Yay! I like the looks of the toolbar. You're going way overboard in the little simple editor I had requested.

You haven't seen anything, yet.

Doof,

Great progress since I looked at it last (v.9.9.9).

With the current design, is there a way to allow clicking on a song (or hitting a button) in your plug-in and have that song played? I see not need to try to sync the player with all of the navigation in the plug-in, but it would be nice to do it for slected tracks.

Randy

Doof · « **Reply #163 on:** May 26, 2006, 07:30:39 am »

You can click the "Preview" button under the file list and it will play the selected song. If you were listening to something before that, when you click "Return" it'll go back to what it was playing before.

I'm planning on adding another button that will do the same thing, but with the entire selected playlist.

Doof · « **Reply #164 on:** May 26, 2006, 09:50:01 am »

Hey, everybody. Um... don't spend a lot of time cleaning up your lyrics just yet...

dcwebman · « **Reply #165 on:** May 26, 2006, 12:50:14 pm »

All right Doof, you have to give a little more reason why. I have a nice 3 day weekend and those thousands of songs without lyrics are just inviting me!

Doof · « **Reply #166 on:** May 26, 2006, 02:21:36 pm »

Well, dig up all the lyrics you want. Just don't waste a lot of time cleaning them up.

There may be something coming soon that will make that particular job a lot easier.

dcwebman · « **Reply #167 on:** May 27, 2006, 09:07:40 am »

Will do. This sounds like something good is coming. Like capitalization of first character in each line and not capitalized words in the rest of the line except for words like I, spell checking, etc. Can't wait!

Doof · « **Reply #168 on:** May 27, 2006, 09:53:13 am »

Yeah, spell checking's going to be a little tricky. I've got a couple of ideas on how to do it, but we'll see how it shakes out.

dcwebman · « **Reply #169 on:** May 28, 2006, 07:25:55 pm »

I agree, spell checking is going to be tough in order to get a dictionary. There's so many words in lyrics that are shortcuts like nothin' instead of nothing. There probably will be a lot of words that the user will need to add to the dictionary.

KingSparta · « **Reply #170 on:** May 28, 2006, 07:36:33 pm »

I have a spell check plug-in i think it works on the lyrics field, i forget now.

it comes with a small dictionary, but you can add words when it finds something it does not know. it works on what is called the soundx principle to come up with suggested words.

Doof · « **Reply #171 on:** June 06, 2006, 12:23:01 pm »

Almost there...

dlone · « **Reply #172 on:** June 07, 2006, 05:08:05 pm »

I've got a request for you (again...)

Currently you use three colours for the file display (no lyrics, lyrics, updated)
The best way i've found is
no lyrics - red
lyrics - black
updated - green

A nice and easy traffic light system for getting all the missing lyrics :-)

So, this is where it all goes a bit wrong

Some tracks in an album may be instrumentals and they show up as missing lyrics obviously
I must use 'No Lyrics' (or similar) as the lyrics to stop them showing up as missing the lyrics

Would it be possible to be able to mark a track as instrumental or something ?

Thanks for your consideration
Karl

Well, what I do is stick [Instrumental] into the Lyrics field. That's how I've been handling these, how I've seen various lyrics sites doing it, and I know a bunch of people in here are doing the same. I've actually added a button to LE that sets the lyrics to this (the actual text is configurable).

dlone · « **Reply #174 on:** June 07, 2006, 08:11:17 pm »

Sssoooooo.....

how about a 'put that 'instrumental' part in button or similar

Doof · « **Reply #175 on:** June 07, 2006, 09:54:51 pm »

Isn't that what I said?

Doof · « **Reply #176 on:** June 07, 2006, 11:52:33 pm »

I'm thinking that as long as nothing catastrophic happens at work tomorrow, or I guess I should say later today, LyricsEditor 2.0 may just rear its ugly head.
