Lyrics plugin

[GoldenDoom]

Hey all,


I was looking for a lyrics-plugin and found this:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7432

However, i don't get how to install it, and how to create the syncronised lyrics files.
I did understand you had to put a time, and then sentence, time, sentence but now how to 'code' it.

(The topic it links to is dead for over 120 days so i decided to make a new topic)

Ima noob, but I got it working.  I use the cpchan build which has the sncviewer compiled in.

Download Minilyrics.  It's database has pretty much every popular song.  It has a lyrics editor, so you can correct lyrics and timing if it is off.  You can save the synchronized lyric file either to file (.lrc) or embed into the mp3 tag.

I made the mistake of saving to .lrc files, so I suggest saving into the mp3 tag from the start.

I was going to post a question "Why does sncviewer display a small rectangle at the beggining of each line for my embedded lyrics?", but I just found that changing to a larger font fixed that.

where is the "cpchan build" for iriver h10. I can't get the sncviewer working either and this so called pre build sounds like a big releif.

um ima a noob too, are you guys saying rockbox doesn't have the ability to put lyrics so we need a plugin for it?

if so how does this plug in work?


is the lyrics still entered through windows ?

@GoldenDoom: You have to apply the patch to the source code and then build your own Rockbox.  I don't know what you mean by "entered".

Solved
Edit: I forgot to pad the minutes in my lyrics file.

I'm trying to figure this out. I applied the patch from FS#10559. The plugin tries tries to load a .lrc file in the same dir. I'm using OGG, so no id3 lyrics. But the plugin says: no lyrics. I've tried UTF-8 and 8859-1. My lrc file is like this:


[ar:artist]
[ti:title]
[0:01.00] Roses are red
[0:02.00] Violets are blue
...


Debug menu shows:
buf usage: 0,12288/12288
line count: 0,0
loaded lrc? yes
too many lines? no

Any ideas?
