WebLyrics AddOn .. how to use it?

[dxcarnadi]

Hello

I have seen WebLyrics AddOn in Options.
I have in Options -> Lyrics all 3 items acknowledged.
                               
BUT I don't see any lyrics ... :-(
What have I done wrong?
Can you help me?
Thank you.

Main menu / Information Box with default skin.

I have the same problem as topic starter. Even on Main menu / Information Box with default skin I see nothing. What else can I do to fix it?

See the image below.  Also, realize that the plugin uses only 2 sources so there will be cases where no lyrics are found to display.  Finally, be sure you have it checked in your Plugins list.

I just found out that LyricWiki (lyrics.fandom.com) has been shut down permanently as of 09-21-2020.  So, that would explain why you haven't been seeing lyrics, as that was one of the two sources used by the plugin (the other is text-lyrics.ru).  Hopefully Artem will be updating the plugin with new source(s) soon.

May be you can suggest what sources to use instead of lyrics.fandom.com?

Thanks Artem for the response!  In another player I have found that the majority of my lyrics results come from genius.com--lots of alternative/pop/rock stuff, a real mixed base.  The other major recommendation would be metal-archives.com, which besides just "metal" has a huge quantity of cross-over genres;  however, it might be difficult to parse as they use some kind of javascript lyrics window.  If that one proved too hard to integrate, darklyrics.com, while a much smaller database, has a lot of that stuff too.

Well, that's my own suggestions, I'm sure others will have theirs too!!

Thanks sveakul, that pic helped since I am generally clueless...

No problem, also try replacing the existing aimp_webLyrics.ini file with this one (unzip) with additional sources by @sabadell66.

I played around with the config file of aimp_webLyrics.dll and found a solution that works for most of the songs. Below is the config section for genius.com.
Note that some songs might not be found and you will need another page to load lyrics from. The reason for this is the artist info of the ID3-Tag in the MP3-File itself and how the Genius-URL is built.

You can open and edit aimp_webLyrics.ini in any text editor, for example Notepad, Notepad++, Akelpad etc.

As Choveka said, editing it is easy, finding what code produces results, not so easy.

I and others have benefited from the generosity and skill of other posters here (gr-e, sabadell66, c0der, etc.) in making their own work available for use.  The attached aimp_webLyrics.ini contains extra sources they have provided for both lyrics and album art--you can extract it from the zip into your aimp_webLyrics folder and let it overwrite the existing file.

I have commented out the mldb.org source as it appears to be no longer accepting requests.  If anyone has any edits or additional sources for the file please post them here!

Thank you for the zip file

My dear friend

I want to thank you for sharing, I have installed the latest version of AIMP 64-bit and your aimp_webLyrics.ini file works perfectly.


Thank you.
