Embedded Minilyrics v1.4b [MM2+3]

[Steegy]

Embedded Minilyrics integrates MiniLyrics in MediaMonkey.

MiniLyrics is a nice and advanced lyrics player that supports all major lyrics formats, has various options to display timestamped lyrics, and has a huge online lyrics database. It is skinnable and can automatically download lyrics and save them to the tags of mp3 files, or to separate text files.
--> more information and download: http://www.crintsoft.com/minilyrics.htm

The purpose of this script is to integrate MiniLyrics in MediaMonkey, as dockable panel.
Sample screenshots: 1 2 3

How to install:
- Make sure that MiniLyrics is installed and configured to start together with MediaMonkey. See MiniLyrics's website.
- Download and execute the installer (v1.4b).
(Re)start MediaMonkey and the script will automatically start. It will create a dockable panel and will embed MiniLyrics in it (if it is running). A menu item (microphone icon) will be added to the View menu, so you can show/hide the MiniLyrics dockable panel.

The MiniLyrics window automaticly resizes if you resize the dockable panel. The script also repositions and resizes the embedded MiniLyrics window every second (1000 ms), by default.

If you get an error that your computer doesn't have the msvcr71.dll file (Microsoft Visual C 7.1 Runtime), you can download it here. Then put it in your Windows System32 folder (or SysWoW64 folder if you're using a Windows 64 bit version).

already using it and its beautiful,

nitpicking but, i really wish i could hide the titlebar.

thanks

[Teknojnky]

Very sweet!

(your links are messed up tho)

I know. This is currently a limitation of the scripting possibilities.
I have mentioned this in the scripting wishlist already, so hopefully this will be "fixed" soon.

(your links are messed up tho)

I know. There's no way around it, because it's a limitation of the forum software phpBB2.
This problem occurs because I use filenames with spaces in. If I don't use the [url] syntax, an automatic (faulty) url is created (url stops at the spaces). When I do use the [url] or [url=blablabla] syntax, you see what is the result. So I use the most correct and short version.
Maybe I'll remove the spaces from the filenames, so this problem disappears.
But now at least the problem "is unveiled".

I get an error message: "Error #1014 - Microsoft VBScript Compilation error Expected 'End' Sub reposition and resize..."

Any ideas?

[Steegy]

I don't know. I never had any errors with this script.
When does this error happen for you?

[gab]

First I installed the minilyrics plug-in and it worked fine. Then I installed the files for this script and when I open MM I get the error message. I click "OK" and MM opens but the script is not available. Maybe I installed it incorrectly. I basically copied both files into the Scripts\Auto directory

[Steegy]

The only thing I can say is that the script probably needs MM 2.5.2 (or even MM 2.5.3) or higher. Are you using a recent version of MediaMonkey?

From the error message you gave, it seems that there is a "compilation error", but everything seems fine in the script. Maybe there's something corrupt in the script runtime, or it's outdated. This is very unlikely, but I don't know anything else why it should give compile errors.
Maybe the download of the vbs script got corrupted? Maybe downloading again will help. Or check the file to see if everything looks "good".

Otherwise, can you PM me with a screenshot of the error boxes please, so I can see what exactly the messages are?

[gab]

I am using the latest version of mm 5.2.3xx. Frankly, I wouldn't be able to tell if the file looks "good". I have now programming ability whatsoever. I've already removed the script - not that big a deal for me at this point. Thanks for trying to help me out. I appreciate it.

I reloaded the files and it now works. Who knows what i did wrong the first time. Works great.

btw... do you know if minilyrics, or any program, will save the lyrics to the tag. i archive my files in wma lossless (i don't know if that matters)

[Steegy]

Great that you've got it working !

i archive my files in wma lossless

This does matter. Minilyrics can only read/write the id3 lyrics tags for mp3 files. (And before you're asking: the ugly Eviltagger alternative also only supports mp3's).
From my personal experience, tagging lyrics for mp3's works great, but unfortunately it's not applicable for you.

You can however just let the program save the lyrics (scrolling and non-scrolling) to separate lyrics files. The only problem with that is that portable players probably can't read these files (but they probably can't read wma's lyrics tags either anyway).
