OpenLyrics

By: D3zmodos

Version: 1.7, released on 2023-10-18 (archived)

Change log:

New features:
  • Add support for album art or a custom image file as the panel background
  • Add support for gradients to the background colour preferences
  • Add support for showing already-passed lyric lines in a different colour
  • Add configuration for horizontal and vertical text alignment
  • Add (experimental) support for showing the panel in an external window
  • Add a source for metal-archives.com
  • Add a 'skip filter', a titleformat-based way to skip auto-search
  • Show the active sort order in column headers of the manual search window

Behaviour changes:
  • Stop asking users to submit metrics after a pre-defined date
  • Automatically display search result in all lyric panels, not just one
  • Remove support for horizontal scrolling
  • Move preferences for searching onto their own page, named accordingly
  • Add a preferences page for each source with source-specific options
  • Show a different 'no lyrics' message based on the reason they're missing
    • For example tracks marked instrumental will show one message, while
      tracks that are not instrumental, but that repeatedly fail searches
      will show a different message
    • This does not apply retroactively: Tracks that were previously marked
      instrumental will still show as having failed too many searches.
      Marking those tracks instrumental one more time will fix this.
  • Skip auto-searching remote sources when the track has no metadata tags

Bug fixes:
  • Fix retrieval failing from some sources when no 'album' tag is present
  • Fix crash when deleting lyrics from tags via the playlist context menu
  • Fix crash when playing tracks that have no tag metadata at all
  • Fix LRC offset tags being ignored if they contained a space
  • Fix a potential crash when opening preferences, caused by corrupt config
  • Avoid sometimes creating difficult-to-delete folders when saving to file
  • Fix a case where NetEase sometimes returns garbage results unnecessarily

Supported processor architectures: x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit.

Works with foobar2000 v1.5 and newer
