I'm having the same problem with this plugin.

Has it been caused by a change to Media center, or the plugin? I ask as this was working up to last week when I decided to reinstall my OS. I am using the nightlyjuly version of evil lyrics mentioned on the meedio forums but downloaded the current version of the plugin and media center. If it is the plugin is it possible to get hold of an earlier version.

Cheers,
Jon.

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #51 on:** October 11, 2006, 11:04:05 am »

Plugin hasn't been changed in some time, nor has EvilLyrics.
I'm going to investigate this as soon as possible.

Dhills suggestion on the GUID should not be a problem.
GUID's are assigned by windows when an application installs itself in the Registry.
A GUID is an extremly long random number. Hence it will be different
from install to install. By some mechanism I can't quite remember
the plugin requests for EvilLyrics and it all magically works.

The message written in the posts above however indicates that the
interface between evillyrics and the plugin isn't working.

I'll do some testing on a clean machine and get back as soon as possible.
Everythings seriously crazy here though I've just moved house,
returned from Africa only a week ago, and started a new job on Monday,
and am already being posted all over the country!
So please excuse the delays, real life is getting in the way! ?

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #52 on:** October 11, 2006, 11:22:25 am »

I've reproduced the problem....

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #53 on:** October 11, 2006, 11:48:52 am »

OK So why doesn't it work....

Well... Marek seems to have produced a new
EvilLyrics 0.1.8 Build 141 RC3

Confused?
Yeh so was I.
Some people might call it RC4. Or Build 142,
or even Version 0.1.9....
Anyhow lucky for us FileForums are still hosting the old one
and it is available oddly enough with the old interface, here->
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/EvilLyrics/1052149889/1

Notice how it is about 120k smaller than the one thats
currently available to download from the EvilLyrics website.
In time I'll get the interface for the new one, and update the plugin.

Edit: Marek has now updated the version numbers.
The old version also pops up on a regular basis now saying please update.
I'm looking into it. At present I can't get an interface to the new version.

dcwebman · « **Reply #54 on:** November 02, 2006, 07:28:50 am »

Mr ChriZ, I have a copy of a setup that says 0.1.8 RC3 before installing but the about box says 0.1.7 build 141 after installing. If you want a copy of that, I can send it to you.

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #55 on:** November 02, 2006, 07:35:50 am »

Could you upload it to www.Uppit.com
That would be great cheers.
I've sent another email to Marek.

Hi Mr ChriZ,

Did you get a response from Marek regarding the new version of evil lyrics?

Regards,
Jon.

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #59 on:** November 08, 2006, 09:29:42 am »

Yes I have, and am looking into it.
In the mean time the old version can be used with the current plugin.

I got the old version working, but I fail to see the point. Everything I tried ended up with no results. The search string was exactly what it should have been, and I pored over the FAQ and info on the EvilLyrics site--to no avail. Quite annoying.

It's working here fine. Is it possible something is stopping EvilLyrics from
accessing the lyrics sites? A firewall maybe?
Here is a search string which definitley returned lyrics
"Alanis Morissette - 21 Things I Want In a Lover"

I'm not going to be around for the next three days, so you may
do better seeking support from the EvilLyrics site itself.

You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to make spare time for little projects
like these! As soon as it happens again, I'll have a look at sorting out
a plugin for the new version.

JonHancock · « **Reply #61 on:** November 08, 2006, 06:07:34 pm »

Mr ChriZ,
Looking at some posts on the Evil Lyrics forum it looks as though the problem has potentially been caused by a windows update. The new version fixes this but obviously breaks your plugin. I hadn't actually upgraded to the new version, the lyrics just stopped downloading one day.

Cheers,
Jon.

Yup it's broke here too now :-(
I've taken a look at Mareks email which suggests that the interface should still work,
but I've tried a few different coding languages and a few different computers and it's not working
for me, so i've sent another email back to him. Hopefully he can sort something out for us.

Thank you for the update, Mr. ChriZ! The plugin now works (again) for me. One glitch... when media center starts up, evillyrics also starts up, but is in a "hidden" window. I have to shut down evillyrics through task manager, then restart it, and it works fine... is it "user error"?

Thanks for your continued support!

Yeh I've been noticing problems with it disappearing,
and then not being able to get it back. Far as I can see it's an evillyrics bug
I'll have to knock on Mareks door again. Hopefully get it sorted soon.

JonHancock · « **Reply #69 on:** November 20, 2006, 11:09:06 am »

Mr Chriz,
Meedio is a now (sadly) defunct HTPC software. It includes a plugin for using MC as it's music player allowing the music library to be browsed through a 10ft interface with a remote control. When music is playing the Now Playing screen allows for various options such as visualisations and lyrics to be displayed.

Cheers,
Jon.

Uninstall the version you've got of both the plugin and evillyrics
then reinstall the latest versions.

iCamp · « **Reply #74 on:** May 26, 2007, 07:18:28 pm »

Evil lyrics prompted me to install the newest version (which I did) and now the plug-in stopped working. It still launches Evil Lyrics when MC starts but it doesn't "see" MC when I play music. If I open the plug-in options within MC (tree-->Services & Plugins-->Evil Lyrics and select "enable Evil Lyrics" or "Disable Evil Lyrics" I get the following Microsoft .NET Framework error:

Hi iCamp,
Could you try installing the latest plugin from the Skins & Plugins Section.
It maybe you've not got the latest version installed, or it could be
that theres a new version of EvilLyrics, in which case i will
need to investigate further.
Cheers

iCamp · « **Reply #76 on:** May 27, 2007, 09:19:20 am »

I just downloaded and installed the plugin from the main page. Is it OK just to install on top of my previous install? That's what I did and I'm still getting the same error.

I think there is a new version of Evil Lyrics. It's version 0.1.9 final build 143.

Thank you

Mr ChriZ,
Is this just for MC12 or should it work with MC11 as well. I don't get any error messages but MC11 doesn't load evil lyrics when playing a new song.

Ah... Oops...
I updated EvilLyrics to the new MC12 SDK, forgetting
that it wouldn't work with MC11. I'll release an MC11 compatible version later today.

Old evil lyrics plugin was working fine on my system.

Installed new version of evil lyrics. The app runs properly and shows the new version.

Went into MC plugin manager and uninstalled old evil lyrics plugin.
Exited MC.
Ran the new evil lyrics plugin setup.exe
Started MC.
New evil lyrics plugin shows up in plugin manager showing version 1.1.2.0
Click on the "show" button to use the plugin.
Get error popup message "Internal Application Error".

Already had .net 2.0 installed, but went ahead and reinstalled it from the link in this post just in case.
Didn't make any difference. Still can't run the plugin, even after the reboot.

OK 2 issues.
1. I put up the debug version of the setup files instead of the release version. Oops.
(The release version is still 1.1.2, since that is what the build files are)

2. I think theres 2 different builds of evillyrics 143 again. Make sure you
have the latest one from the website.

Should now work in MC11 again.

Was eagerly waiting for the update but it still has the invisible windows syndrome for me.
Just uninstalled both, (re)downloaded and installed the latest builds and the EvilLyrics Window pops up briefly and then is gone. Have to close in Taskmanager and start it manually. From there the plugin works fine...

Can I provide any information to track that issue down?
Basics: I use Windows XP and MC 12

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #87 on:** June 12, 2007, 12:46:38 pm »

Peculiar.
When you go to about in EvilLyrics what build information comes up?
Also when you go the plugin within Media Center do you see an option
"Include Video Files"?

iCamp · « **Reply #88 on:** June 12, 2007, 05:49:20 pm »

I might be having the same problem as difool.

Windows Task Manager shows Evil Lyrics (build 143) running but I can't see the window. Nothing I do will force it to appear.

Because of that I don't know if Evil Lyrics is even communicating with the plugin. I know it isn't writing lyrics to the tag.

In an effort to try to force the Evil Lyrics window to remain visible (just to see if it was even trying to look up playing tracks in MC12) I used the "Always stay on top" option within the Evil Lyrics preferences. Evil Lyrics did stay on tip but once MC12 loaded it made Evil Lyrics disappear again.

BTW, my version of the plug-in does have the "Include video files" option. However, I do not have that checked.

iCamp · « **Reply #89 on:** June 12, 2007, 06:19:14 pm »

Ok...nevermind.

It appears to be working now. I realized I still had MC11 installed on my PC. I kept it just in case the MC12 beta didn't function quite right. I never had any issues with both installed but figured it was just taking up space. I uninstalled it and the Evil Lyrics plugin suddenly began writing lyrics to tags. Cool!

I still can't see the Evil Lyrics window but at least it's writing tags!

This is a complete above and beyond, no beg, for help. The evillyrics works fine in MC, which is why this is above and beyond, however I am having trouble getting it working in Meedio. It is related to this plugin because interop.evillyrics.dll from the MC plugin is what the J River Meedio plugin uses to work with the new version of evillyrics. This is the error I am getting:

Quote

The system cannot find the file specified

Now, not being a developer, this is a bit of Greek to me. I am not asking for any specific help with Meedio, however, could anyone help me with this error? What dependency is missing? I am not compeltely unable to do a bit of basic checking, so I used Dependswalker (url) which is a handy tool I've used before to find DLL dependency problems. There was nothing missing or any issuess. Just to be sure, I installed VC++ redistributable which, according to its depenecies, this dll uses some DLLs from. That didn't do it. I, of course, have .net 2.0 and .net 3.0 installed as the plugin is working fine in MC.

Thanks for any help!

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #94 on:** August 16, 2007, 05:13:07 pm »

I'm afraid I don't know to much about Meedio.
I think Dhill seemed to have more idea's about what was going on there.
Might do better on the Meedio forums.

silkshadow · « **Reply #95 on:** August 17, 2007, 02:03:06 am »

Thank you for your reply! We are beginning to try and get DHill back to his MC project (link). Currently he has abandoned it after Yahoo go TV is clearly not going anywhere and he was unaware of the very active MeediOS project (link). Is there any assistance you can give me in regards to this error? What dependencies could be hanging it up? The prior version of interop.evillyics.dll was working fine. I would actually go back but I no longer have a copy of that plugin or the prior version of EvilLyrics. But another user did affirm that this new interop was working in his setup (I would link it but the Meedio forums are currently unavailable, possibly for good). Thanks for any continued assistance!

Edit: Got it working, used the interop from Shawn Bass's Meedio Evillyric plugin and all is working. Hope that helps someone else.
