Looks nice. Send a mail to cmus mailing list, so other users know about it too.

Also add it to the cmus wiki

Done

OK100 · 2012-03-29 18:03:26

I added support for shell-fm too.

OK100 · 2012-03-31 20:30:39

Added support for pianobar.

theGunslinger · 2012-04-01 18:26:07

Loving it. Great work!

OK100 · 2012-04-01 18:40:42

@theGunslinger: I'm glad you like it

I can add support for more players if anyone wants.

OK100 · 2012-04-23 20:03:14

I added new feature: it can now display artist info as well (toggle with 'a' key).

Sirsurthur · 2012-04-24 20:14:01

I just tested it and find it great !

Thanks a lot for it !

OK100 · 2012-06-22 19:57:51

I added guitar tabs, support for mpd and moc, and keys for controlling player, along with other fixes. See github page for more details and screenshots. It's much better now.

cmus-lyrics doesn't seem to work properly, here's the error it gives me when i run it

This was python3-only error, it should work now.

Are you sure? I reinstalled it with the latest revision but it still gives an error when I try to run it

Try now

theGunslinger · 2012-06-29 19:09:59

Works perfectly again, thanks for the quick fix!

OK100 · 2012-07-06 05:31:45

I renamed the script to "lyvi". The old name was a bit confusing since it supports more players now. The new AUR package name is "lyvi-git" and a link to the new repo is in the first post.

Hi,

Thanks OK100 for this nice piece of software.

The most recent update of lyvi produces the following error for each track as it starts instead of lyrics:

 Exception in thread Thread-3:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib/python3.2/threading.py", line 740, in _bootstrap_inner 
self.run()
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/threading.py", line 693, in run
     self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 102, in get_and_update
     m = metadata_get(type, artist, title, data['lang'])
File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 91, in metadata_get
           get_type=type, database=db, language=lang.encode())
File "query.pyx", line 63, in plyr.Query.__cinit__ (src/glyr.c:3600)

File "wrapper.pyx", line 18, in plyr._bytify (src/glyr.c:1224)
TypeError: encoding or errors without a string argument

I'm using cmus and previous versions of lyvi worked perfectly.

Hi,
Should be already fixed in dba7f13.
Please reinstall lyvi-git and python-glyr-git from AUR and try again.

bashnev · 2012-07-15 11:19:23

That fixed it. Cheers.

Does not work with mpd, when mpd is on a remote machine.

You can now set mpd_host and mpd_port in the configuration file (~/.config/lyvi/rc):

mpd_host = localhost
mpd_port = 6600

nierro · 2012-07-28 17:14:38

I was wondering if you can add support for guayadeque music player!
Thanks!

Shinryuu · 2012-07-28 17:52:23

This looks pretty nice also it works really well!

OK100 · 2012-07-28 18:45:25

@nierro: I'm working on it.
@Shinryuu: Thanks!

nierro · 2012-07-28 18:51:13
