NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Something else, I recently noticed and is worth mentioning.
When a song is played with a rather long list of lyrics, I scroll down past the bottom border (manually) to read what's next.
Nothing wrong there. Everything fine.
But when I have scrolled all the way down and the player moves on to the next song in the list,
(ad that song also has a long list of lyrics going past the bottom threshold)
the next songs's lyrics is also scrolled down that same window height (still),
(even-though it's a new song being started) if that makes sense.

OK, it could be that someone starts a song from a different timestamp than 00:00.00
Maybe then the lyrics text shouldn't be scrolled to the top,
but if a song is played from beginning, it should. Right?

Some more of my 2cents
Peace.

That's way cool, dro! Yeah, I knew there was something up with it... Glad you found it. And happy to assist.

Hope the core support for LRC file playback gets some attention as well. At some point.  :)
Hope it's not too complicated! I'd love to see some of my work being displayed in WACUP.
I know, I can only hope and encourage. Will love to see it highlighted on day!

Thanks for taking a look! I'm sure beta-tester will be able to confirm or deny if lyrics are rendered more properly now.  ;)

If you have any updates about it in the future, please do revisit this here topic and let me know.
I'd love to hear about!
Awesome.

Here's an example I want to provide.
If we take a look at the "Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69" lyrics I recently made, at timestamp 49 seconds 28 milliseconds in, there is no text entered to the right of the timestamp, to separate one verse or chuck of text from another.

Code: [Select]
[00:45.64]Those were the best days of my life
[00:49.28]
[00:56.29]Ain't no use in complainin',

If, dro, you could add a check, in the gen_lyrics plugin, to check if the text entered next to a timestamp is empty, and if so replace it with (or interpret as) a <space>, it would display correctly. I think.

Thank for checking out the topic.
Hope it'll get some attention.

Not intending to bump the topic though.  ;D
Have a nice day!

Hi,

Thanks for your time.

Concerning gen_lyrics.dll, I have a few suggestions and thoughts on these suggestions I noted down. Here they are.

1. (High priority) Respect the empty lines in .lrc files. As of now, they are omitted from display. So the entire lyrics text is bunched up together.
At least that's the case with the .lrc files that contain timestamps. ([00:00.00])
If the .lrc file contains text and text only, I DOES respect the spacing. Right?
It would be nice to see the chorus' and verses in timestamped .lrc files be spaced out a well. Hope that makes sense.

2a. (Low priority) Highlight a line, with the same highlight color as a currently selected/playing song is. Karaoke style, which is currently missing. Right?

2b. (Low priority) Highlight a line, with the same highlight background-color as a currently selected/playing song is. So set according to the current player color scheme.

2c. (Low priority) Highlight empty lines (somehow) to indicate to the listener where the song as at, in terms of timestamp. Explained: If you glance away from lyrics and return for another glance, you sometimes don't see/find which lyric line will be highlighted next. Right? -If empty lines would get highlighted (and stay highlighted) with a background color, that would solve it. Or something else. A little dot. A little star. Etc.

3a. (Low priority) Opacity of the Album Art. Sometimes you want a lower opacity Album Art behind the lyrics, for better readability. Maybe it's just me. Joke. (Would become obsolete if highlighted line would get its own highlight background-color)

3b. (Low priority) Allow for Album Art to be repeated, in either X or Y axis. Way cool!

4. (Low priority) Change "No lyrics were found : (" to just "(No lyrics present)"

I'm basically asking for some spacing, right? (1.)
And for the work on WACUP's lyrics plugin to get some attention? :-) Right? dro?
Haha.

Again, thanks for reading!

Been making some lyrics lately.

Installed WACUP,
after abandoning BS.Player and than installing and abandoning WinAmp really,
And I've been having a ball with it!

Good job, dro! WACUP is wack. I'm diggin' it!

Happy to be here.
