Get songs lyrics right in the VLC media player

Postby ishankb » 26 Jun 2010 11:54

Hello,
** First of all I want to say to admin that I am new to this forum .I am not sure about the appropriate section for this post. If I posted in wrong section, please move it to the appropriate one.

I want to know is there any plugin similar to the plugins offered by this website ( http://www.lyricsplugin.com/) that enable VLC player to display lyrics of songs while playing a track. I tried to contact lyrcisplugin.com owner regarding this issue but no contact information has provided by them on website :( .

I am a blogger and a VLC user. I wrote an article about the lyrics plugin and i received mails from people. They want to know if there is a lyrics plugin available for VLC too . We need a free plugin that will show lyrics of the song right inside the VLC player.

My suggestion is : Is it possible to create plugin that can easily retrieve lyrics from lyrcisplugin.com database or Is it possible for VLC team to create a website especially for users similar to lyrcisplugin.com that enable VLC players to display lyrics of songs.


*** More advanced things could be possible in future.

There isn't one plugin yet.
However, the new VLC extensions could do that easily.

It is really preferable to have sufficient plugins to have the song lyrics. Have not seen this feature in VLC, I hope they will come out with one someday. I rely more on youtube to see lyrics of the songs.

There is a plugin called Minilyrics

http://www.crintsoft.com/index.htm

But an extension would still be beter, cause this always shows an annoying pop up

First timer. If the lyric plug-in could exact the lyric directly from the song's properties would be nice.
I have been putting lyric in the properties of each song. This way I don't have to look for lyric in other folders.
Hope someone can make this happen.

Thanks,

touro

Do you mean you embedded them to metadata?

I am new at this. Don't what a metadata is. I just go into property of each song in summary and add lyric in the "lyrics" space.
Hope I will learn more from other users.

Then it should be possible to parse that with LUA.

I am just a VLC player user. Don't know what LUA is. Hope you can make this work and let me know or have the update.
Also, I have put Chinese title songs in the playlist and I save the playlist, but the next time I open the same playlist I get ??? int the song title and player can not be able to play any song. Do anyone know how I can display chinese title songs on the playlist?

Thanks

Use imgur or similar service for images. Use pastebin or similar service for text.
