MrBertie Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Could you consider adding Lyrics 2 as a 3rd party lyrics provider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBertie Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Strange, it works fine for me. How about the Github site: https://github.com/f-leoni/lyrics2 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Link now working, not sure why it didn't yesterday. I believe Max's intention in providing an API for lyrics is that it will now be possible for third-parties to develop plugins that can be used with Poweramp to provide lyrics from external sources. I don't think he was planning to build specific provider code into the Poweramp core app. But I could be wrong in my understanding of that feature.

maxmp Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Poweramp can't directly add 3rd party lyrics sources into the app itself (legal/copyright issues), but the new lyrics API is now available - it's simple (intent based) and example app is provided: https://github.com/maxmpz/powerampapi/tree/master/poweramp_lyrics_plugin_example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrini69 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) so do i ask the developer to make a plugin for Poweramp? or how does it work? thanks Edited January 23 by pedrini69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBertie Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Sorry for using incorrect terms, I was referring to the Preferred Lyrics App, not a lyrics plugin. Apologies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 @pedrini69 @MrBertie As I understand it, there are two external facilities here. First is a pretty simple system whereby information about the currently playing song (Title, Artist, etc) is passed over to another app which then opens its own interface to show you what it found - like a Google search results page. I can't see any reason why the Lyrics_2 app couldn't be added to the existing selection list for this purpose - as long as it accepts external search requests. Second (and I'm not quite so clear on this one) is the new API that Max has created, which I believe functions bidirectionally to allow an external app to be queried and then pass its results text back to Poweramp so PA can display those lyrics within the main Player interface (in the same way it does with embedded lyrics or LRC files). At least I think that's how it's meant to work, and as such it would require the external app to include some extra code to support this API too - or presumably an additional third-party app could be written to act as an intermediary between the two. By the way Max, I think if the user has specifically selected 'None' in Preferred Lyrics App settings page, the prompt to 'Open Lyrics App' should not be displayed when a song is missing lyrics.
