There is a new version of the plugin (for banshee 1.4.1) available at:
http://www.gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Banshee+Lyrics+Plugin+(reload)?content=94806

I forgot my previous account password, so I made a new one (martellc1)

Cheers,

Hi everyone, I love this plugin, now I have the patched one. Would be great if this plugin could save the lyrics in the hard drive, just like Amarok's and Rhythmbox's plugin does.

Thanks a lot.

the lyrics plugin already stores lyrics on the hard drive. Look in ~/.config/banshee/plugins/lyrics directory :)

Ok guys,
It seems that you love the plugin.. :) So I have to restart working on it.

I have worked on 'gnome media applet' until now and I didn't have any time for the lyrics plugin.
I think It's time for a new release..

Wait and hope.

Cheers,
Christian

Thats great :D!

Love this plugin, but just installed banshee 1.4 and can't use it :P...

I wonder if it's possible to integrate this with banshee itself and not as a separate window...

again, the patch from nikita works very well - it's not a big deal to make it 1.4 compatible anyway.

ahh, forgot to give complement to the developer of this great stuff! thanks a lot, using this plugin i do not need amarok anymore.

I love this plug-in, unfortunately, it is not compatible with the latest version of Banshee (1.4). Banshee will crash as soon as it begins to play media while the plug-in is enabled.

I'm sad to hear that it doesn't work on the latest version :S. It is unbelieavable that a music player like banshee still doesn't come with a lyric plugin.
Would it be possible to make the lyrics viewable in the new "now playing" screen? That would be awesome!

Please, update the plugin as soon as you can.

thanks.

There is a patch for it available: http://nikita.karnauhov.googlepages.com/
It works for me...

Does anyone got this plugin to work with banshee 1.2.1? how?

This doesn't compile with banshee-1 from svn with the following error :

./Constants.cs(77,50): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `NetworkDetect' does not exist in the namespace `Banshee.Networking'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

I had the same problem that most of you had with gtkhtml-sharp. I compiled banshee lyrics on Archlinux (06/15/08).
I've installed many packages:
1.- gtkhtml
2.- libgtkhtml
3.- mono-tools.
Mono-tools is the one that made the script work. Hope this can help anyone trying to compile Banshee Lyrics.

after run install.sh nothing appear in banshee.. I've installed latest version (svn) under gentoo..
any suggestion?
thanks

I encountered this error while listening to a track

An unhandled exception was thrown: Method not found: 'Banshee.Collection.TrackInfo.get_ArtistAlbumId'.

Any advice?

Error:
Package gtkhtml-sharp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkhtml-sharp-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtkhtml-sharp-2.0' found

I can't find the gtkhtml-sharp package anywhere. Any ideas?

I think gtkhtml-sharp is included by default in mono.
For the new version of the plugin I used mono-1.2.6 (the default version used in ubuntu 8.04) and gtkhtml-sharp-3.14.
Try installing a new version of mono or using the binary package just provided in the download section.

the same here.. I have mono-1.9.1 installed.. How could I fix

same problem!

After you type in the lyrics and save it, next time you open it you will find out the line breaks were removed.

I fixed the problem, see the code:
