Hi there,

I'm quite new to Media Jukebox but I think that this piece of software really rocks!

One thing I wasn't able to figure out yet was how to display lyrics: I've installed several plugins like "CF Black" or "WishYou" which are supposed to display lyrics. But none of them actually displays them on my machine.

Has anybody an idea what to do to get them?

Thanks a lot,

Norb

Do your music files have lyrics embedded in their tags?

[Snowbird]

No. Do they have to?
The plugins I know from other tools just download the lyrics from the net. Is there anything similar available for Media Junkebox?

Thanks,

Norb

Got a perfect solution:

After I learned how easy it is to customize the "TrackInfo" panel I just added this line to my TrackInfo's html file:

<iframe id="lyric" src="http://lyricwiki.org/api.php?func=getSong&artist=TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST&song=TRACKINFO_INSERT_TITLE"/>

This retrieves the lyrics from lyricwiki.org and displays them. So no need to write them to any files.

I tried his but I get this replay when trying:

MediaWiki API is not enabled for this site. Add the following line to your LocalSettings.php
$wgEnableAPI=true;

What to do ??
