Get songs lyrics right in the VLC media player

[ishankb]

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.

[ishankb]

Thanks Jean for replying to me.

Yeah VLC extension could do it easily. I want to know what you think about this kinda plugin I mean are you interested in providing such type of plugin soon in VLC player . I conducted a poll to know people's opinion. let see what they are thinking.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

People don't use polls a lot around here. You will get disappointed

[ishankb]

ohhh BTW I want to know, can i expect such kinda plugin from the VLC team in coming future.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Then do an extension.

Is there anyone with the skills who can write such as plugin this has been done with foobar, winamp and WMP can someone else who has the skills write one, An editor or creator is not needed as Lyricist although in chinese can be downloaded. Only a viewer is needed.

[jeanlery13]

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.

you guys should look in to this http://lyricsfly.com/api/

[TheFalcon]

There is a plugin called Minilyrics

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

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

There is soon 2 extensions for VLC for this.

[TheFalcon]

Thats great. Looking forward for it

[Drazick]

Are those extensions out?
Where could we get them?

Thanks.

I suggest to add support for Karaoke files
like *.kfn (karaoke fun) or midi, or other formats like in game Ultrastar

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Midi and CDG, we have. kfn, not yet.

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,

Do you mean you embedded them to metadata?

[touro]

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.

[VLC_help]

Then it should be possible to parse that with LUA.

[touro]

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

[VLC_help]

Could you share one of those playlists that doesn't work?

[touro]

How do I load jpg to show the playlist that can not display chinese title?

[VLC_help]

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