Title: Show Lyrics in JRiver panel controller (partially solved)
Post by: Gedeon on October 16, 2020, 01:17:55 pm
Just this.

Maybe clicking in the thumbnail to switch between lyrics and cover or a specific icon when available.

Would be really great.

Panel will do exactly as you described, but there is a size constraint. It doesn't always work with phones in the portrait orientation. If you're using a phone, try rotating it to the landscape orientation and then tapping the cover art image.

Sorry if I've missed something. I'm still running MC25. Is already implemented ?

Anyway today there are several tags and styles to make html code responsive to resolution, orientation, etc...

It was added in 24.0.38

4. NEW: Panel - More file information for music can be shown by clicking on the cover art image. This does not work on screens that are too small because of size limitations.

But there are already several android music players which show the lyrics in small screens. We read tons of way more complex texts in phone displays.

I understand there could be some limitations, but I'm pretty sure that a text window with a scrolling can't be so difficult to implement.

I've rechecked and I was wrong since panel offers lyrics as you stated. The issue came because I was focused in "portrait mode", not in landscape. In my PC or in landscape in my phone lyrics are shown.

In my phone I was only using/checking the portrait mode, since in landscape the album art is even smaller than in portrait mode so I didn't bother to check it.

First, apologizes, because the feature was already there. It just wasn't availabe in the mode I'd been testing so far.

Second, ¿ Could lyrics be also visible in portrait mode from panel ? There is even more display surface to show the text and the lyrics in that mode from panel.

Thanks for your patience.
