sncviewer plugin

[(:@)]

I have updated the plugin (see first page)

[Popmarter]

AWESOME!!

Even a noob like me managed to get it working on my 120. for other noobs: copy the .rock in the .rock directory. find a lyric for a song on  the ilyrics database (see earlier post). copy the .snc file in the same directory as the mp3. make sure they are both named the same (song1.mp3, song1.snc) and play the song. then A-B to browse plugins and pick the sncviewer, voila!

Well , "the artist formally known as smiley" , can you add that feature ?

[Larsie]

I ported it to H300, source and .rock included.

On request from some people I want it to make it read .lrc files aswell

So I'll patch it whan its completely finished

Same way as the startpost, rename the sncviewerH300.doc to sncviewerH300.zip

the plugin is updated

There isn't too much SNC or karaoke type files , only if it's popular .
Any chance you could add record mode in this plugin so I can change standart lyrics files that are SNC without the karaoke , into SNC while hearing the song . like Evillyrics does .
hmmm , was that clear ?

no, I don't know what you mean. Or do you think of an snc editor? a tool in which you can add timetags to a normal lyric file?

[MoAv]

Yes , instead of building one on the computer , why not do it on the player ? you're listening to the music anyway and you have more time on the road , like me . Don't have to be an editor per say , but just a quick button that captures the time on the mp3 and puts it on the SNC file . Can SNC be non karaoke ?

I have tried sncviewer for H300, but it cannot show unicode like Chinese.
Will unicode support be added in this plugin?

i don't think i will use this feature.

it should work if you convert your snc file (encoded in GB) to utf8.
i have the problem, that i sometimes got some delays ...

The difficulty being that you would have to anticipate how much text can squeeze into your available space for each time stop. Without having lyrics written out to see how much space each word uses you are likely going to get the timings wrong and your sync will have to be adjusted on a PC later anyway.

AFAIK those karaoke files only gives each line a time stamp . This "record" mode can preper those regular text files into a SNC with each line having this time stamp : 00:00:00 , then updating every line when the process begins . A bit tricky , but I think it could work .

I am struggeling to get the unicode working. When I am converting my latin-1 snc file to utf-8 (save as in notepad) the result doesn't work at all. Looking at the plugin source I believe I can see the following problems:
- The BOM (EF BB BF) at the beginning is not skipped.
- The magic bytes for the time stamp are C2 A2 C3 A2 while you check for: E2 91 A9

If I edit my unicode snc files to remove the BOM and replace C2 A2 C3 A2 with E2 91 A9 it sort of works: I get the accented characters, but the lines wraps too early  and as a result I get additional lines and a "not enough rows" error as a result.

What am I missing here - since it seems to work for you I must be doing something wrong.

P.S. Would it be possible to convert the snc files to utf-8 within the plugin (taking into account the default codepage from the settings?). That would save the hassle with converting the files.

[MoAv]

recently the plugin loader got many changes. the best way is to clean and rebuild rockbox instead of using the binary i've included in the sncviewer.doc

Could you please comment on the UTF-8 issue.
