Hi Media Freak,

Unfortunately I'm very limited with html and scripting. Just for a test, can you try both PM Lyrics 13 (in the same post than the lytebox 1) and also Version 2 from neFAST on top of the thread? Do you have the same problem with those two templates too?

Thank you.

Thanks for the help.
I upgraded MC to 12.0.393 and the error now has stopped.

If I bump into other bugs/situation then I'll post on here.

Keep up the good work.

That's good news, Media Freak.
Thank you.

Found a fix for string containing "&".
Replace previous string definitions with :

Code: [Select]

  var track  = encodeURIComponent(encodeURIComponent("TRACKINFO_INSERT_TITLE"));
  var artist = encodeURIComponent(encodeURIComponent("TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST"));
  var album  = encodeURIComponent(encodeURIComponent("TRACKINFO_INSERT_ALBUM"));

Should work with accentued chars too. Drop a line if it fails with danish/swedish/[insert very cold country here]

Deivit · « **Reply #154 on:** December 29, 2007, 03:03:39 pm »

Hi neFAST,

Did you have the time to take a look at the possibility to show the artist picture together with the bio? A 80x80 or 100x100 image would be great... Can you give me a hint as to how to do it?

Thanks in advance and, again, thank you very much for this nice idea of a template.

Best wishes for the new year to all of you.

I'll look at that as soon as I come back from holidays. But be warned that the artist picture from last.fm is small.

Deivit · « **Reply #157 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:25:06 am »

OK, take your time. No problem with the size of the picture... the bio section in my template is less than 240px wide, and I was thinking in something around 1/3 of it (as it is with the mouse-hover effect in the "similar artists" section of PM Lyrics 14).

Thank you!

(Make the change easy to adapt to PM Lyrics

hi neFast,

i don't understand line 12 "<script>TRACKINFO_INSERT_TRACKPATH</script>"
any use of this line or can i remove it ?.... the line throws an error in IE.

neFAST · « **Reply #162 on:** January 07, 2008, 03:45:54 am »

it's a trick to handle backslashes in the path name.
Do you open the template in IE?

small bug in pm.js

Code: [Select]

else if( type == "artist_top_tracks" )
.

     if( limit ) {var imax = limit;
     else var imax = list.length;

should be

Code: [Select]

  if( limit < list.length ) var imax = limit;
     else var imax = list.length;

i think...

Try commenting the line:

Code: [Select]

<!--
<script>TRACKINFO_INSERT_TRACKPATH</script>
-->

This line should be useless to you.
I've a question concerning your webserver. How do you open template.html and fill it? DId you wrote a plugin to do that?
If yes did you wrote that in c++ or using the SDK?

I only copied your template in my 'JR-webServer'.
I had to made two or three changes on the template (e.g. artist biography didn't work with this environment, so my webServer parses the youfm-site... )

The webServer (written in vb.net) has a com-interface (SDK) to JR and every command ('TRACKINFO_INSERT_..') in the template is changed to the values of the current file...

At this time my JR-webServer is a small stand-alone-application, cause is easier to debug and to develop... but with some changes it also can be a plugin.

If I will find some time, than i will release a preview.

Deivit · « **Reply #169 on:** January 13, 2008, 10:06:05 am »

A new update of PM Lyrics (PM Lyrics 15) is available

FIXED
1.- Fixed problem with strings containing &. Thanks neFAST

CHANGED
1.- The Tags section now shows the Artist Tags instead of the track tags. There were too many tracks without information when showing the track tags. It's easy to switch back to Track tags if you don't like the change.
2.- Artist tags are set to the same font size instead of using the "cloud" system. May not please everyone, but avoids scrolling.
3.- Some sections (similar artists, top albums, etc.) have been relocated.

NEW
1.- New "Artist Overview" section showing the artist picture and what used to be the "biography" section.

Click here to download PM Lyrics 15

This version opens the external links in separate web-browser pages, as the other versions in the same series, and does not use the "Lytebox" system. I'm not updating PM Lyrics Lytebox at this time. Sorry.

This is how it looks:

Please recall that this template is optimized to display at a full display resolution of 1366x768. It may work with other resolutions, though.

Thank you.

Another nice update. Thanks Deivit...

Messiahs · « **Reply #171 on:** January 13, 2008, 06:02:55 pm »

so, the new version (beta preview) of my webserver is available...

@neFast...
i send you the download-link via ICQ (i found no email-address in your profile).

@Deivit
if you send me your ICQ or eMail i also send you the download link.

Both templates are implemented in the new version.

so long
Messiahs

neFAST · « **Reply #172 on:** January 14, 2008, 03:15:24 am »

Thanks a lot Messiahs.
Deivit, your template is so much better than mine. The only things is that I have almost no lyrics info, although I'd like to see lyrics for all my songs. Concerning lytebox, you don't want it or you don't have time to update your code, 'cause I can do it for you.

Thanks for your kind words, neFAST, but my template would not exist if you hadn't done all the coding job!... I just moved the things around a little bit to better suit my taste.

Mr. Chriz's Evyl Lyrics plugin is working perfect for me for getting the lyrics, although I've recently read that it is causing problems to some other users. I think I did not install the latest update, and this may be the cause that it works great for me and not for others.

What respects to lytebox... to be honest, I don't use the lytebox version because of the limitations that I reported several posts ago. Since I have no javascript or html coding knowledge at all, I have to use the old method of trial and error to update pmlyrics. I finally got it with the "regular" version (PM Lyrics 15 is the result), but I don't have the time to update the other one at this time... maybe later. If you can do it, please feel free to do so!

(What takes me hours would probably take you only minutes)

gummbah · « **Reply #174 on:** January 17, 2008, 02:28:00 pm »

Hi,

I have been trying a couple of the latest versions, but all the time the cover picture is too big, and is displayed on top of the last.fm info. See attachement. Any idea what the problem is?

cheers

neFAST · « **Reply #175 on:** January 17, 2008, 02:53:33 pm »

It's because that one is optimized to display at a resolution of 1366x768. And I suppose your resolution is lower than that. If you know a bit of css you can fix it in style.css, look for ".art". Otherwise I think Deivit could provide us with a version where the size is relative (in %age) so that it will fit both his and our screens

If Deivit can do that that would be excellent!
I must admit my css knowledge is somewhat limited (i.e. it doesnt exist

)

neFAST · « **Reply #177 on:** January 18, 2008, 03:39:16 am »

You can quickly fix that by editing index.html with notepad, finding the following line:

Code: [Select]

<img class="art" src="TRACKINFO_INSERT_IMAGE" width="500" height="500" alt="[TRACKINFO_INSERT_ALBUM] Cover Art"/>and replacing width and height values with something that fits your screen resolution. 250 should be okay.

Deivit · « **Reply #178 on:** January 18, 2008, 10:24:21 am »

Thanks neFAST for your quick advice to gummbah. Yes, unfortunately when I first started with PM Lyrics 1, it was solely intended for my personal use and I did not think in its portability to different display resolutions. This is why it's optimized for 1366x768.

I'll try to work with % in future versions.

In the meantime, changing the parameters advised by neFAST to gummbah will do the trick.

Thanks again.

gummbah · « **Reply #179 on:** January 18, 2008, 04:12:26 pm »

Thanks!
I have played around a bit and now have it more or less look decent.
But a future versions with the % line would be very sweet!

I have read this thread with great interest and I have instaled neFast's template. I am hovewer not able to download the Deivit template which seems to be beter suited to my need. Is this a temporary problem with upit or something else? After the "comercials" i get an error message stating that the link is broken?

I am in the prosess of implementing a remote control capability via Girder and have been forced to do this via the girder used scripting language LUA because I want functionality byond just play commands. You guys way of displaying playing now info is great and even better if I am able to control it via the MC Automation interface and the MC Core commands inteface.

But first things first : HOW TO DOWNLOAD DEIVIT's PM Lyrics 15?? Please advice

Deivit · « **Reply #181 on:** January 19, 2008, 10:02:12 am »

Hi elo,

Thanks for your interest. I just tried the link and you're right... page not found. I pressume it's a temporary problem with uppit servers and will be working again shortly... not the first time something like this happens.

Anyway, don't worry. If it's not working by tomorrow, I'm gonna try to find an alternative site so that you can download it.

Thank you.

neFAST · « **Reply #182 on:** January 19, 2008, 12:04:13 pm »

Deivit · « **Reply #183 on:** January 19, 2008, 12:17:46 pm »

elo · « **Reply #184 on:** January 20, 2008, 09:55:36 am »

Thanks you both of you. Have instaled it and it works fine. Will start programing this evening.....

elo · « **Reply #185 on:** January 27, 2008, 08:59:29 am »

I need some help. I want to change the track info template from Girder (with a remote control). I have tried to dynamicaly change the entries in the registry but that does not work. I need a handle into mc12 from girder that offers the same functionality as the Track Info item in the pulldown menu when you right clisk in the playing now window. I have searched the core commands and also the functions accessible through the COM interface but can not find anything I can use.

What I want to achive is to change the track info template when going between the fullsceen mode and the windowed mode (both in windowed and theaterview). So I need to be able to read the current window mode from a script in Girder and to change the track infor template from the same script??

Anys hint or suggestions??

neFAST · « **Reply #186 on:** February 03, 2008, 12:33:28 pm »

I worked on a new layout this evening. I'm not comfortable with css positioning so if anyone want to suggest something better, feel free to post your mod. It should fit a 1024*768 screen and bigger. It is also a "full screen" layout that you may want to display when you're away from your computer. I will work on another one (closer view and more content) later on.

left and right covers correspond to "top album" from last.fm
You can try this layout here.

neFAST · « **Reply #192 on:** February 08, 2008, 02:33:46 am »

The current album is the one in the middle, but others are sorted by popularity. The xml file from last.fm aonly returns album names, not their release date.

DataMaster from KingSparta (works in Batch mode)

Lyrics Editor from Doof (Works with a list, edit lyrics, fix lyrics, lookup individual missing lyrics)
http://www.dooftoo.com/lyricseditor.html

I don't use Evil Lyrics, but I think you can make it work. Try a search, I think there was some software updates that were discussed.

JONCAT · « **Reply #197 on:** February 10, 2008, 12:24:22 pm »

I think he's working on AutoLyrix now but maybe the original still works.

I saw in this thread that at least one of the track info templates is optimized for 1368x768 ...is that why I'm getting black screens on track netx/previous as well as runtime errors?

About time I started using the DataMaster...good stuff.

Here is a screenshot. Basically, if I don't get this error I have a black screen. I'm running 1920x1080...fits the screen nicely - I love having all this info at my fingertips, thanks for your efforts!

I get the debug error upon playback as well as track next.

As you can see I get the error even when not running full screen.
