@dkhal: "Who follows the others will never be first", if you want to be successful don't copy the others but create something new.

ok well you're quite popular then! excellent job

i am trying to be like you by creating a youtube lyrics plugin for my youtube enhancer

i hope it will be as successful as yours

i just have one question:

how do you know if the video being watched is in the music category?

@ Aquilax

here is an example of getting data from a flash online radio station. It could be, because the flash was getting data from an outer source. : )

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34064

But, still I need your help to refresh the lyric part of the div part

first loading is ok but when the song changes, it shows the previous lyrics with an undesired format.

@dkhal

Thanks but I have never done advertise, some good sites have talked about it and the message has bounced around.

@Naoki

Sorry but I won't do it because each search need two requests, for 11 lyrics sites does 22 requests and normally you need only two of them, so 20 requests are useless and they will only increase the global internet traffic.

@Guybrush

Inside the options (User Script Commands ...) you can choose to display the youtube lyrics always or only on the music category. You don't see the lyrics panel because that video in in the film & animation category.

one of the most useful scripts... : )

but not working for some youtube links.

for example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSBZvEeB0-o

(Althugh there is no lyric in the video : ) )

(No related errors from error console)

please please add an all in one lyrics searcher so it shows all results from all the lyric sites.and also i see no point for the scroll bar on the right and bottom side.atleast add an option to remove it. thankyou

thanks for a very cool script i see that you have advertised for it all over the internet !

nice work

you inspired me so i'm gonna try to make a lyrics plugin for my youtube enhancer

@Excalibur

All the resources are stored in xml files. The xml file without underscores is the base resources file, the other are the localized resources files. Not everything in the base resources file must be translated, but only the texts.

At best choose an already translate resource (de/es/fr/it) and overwrite it, you can always look at the original english text in the base resource file. Each resource is identified with an unique id, which doesn't change with the localization of the resource.

First you have to find the xml resource files on your computer, that is more easy to say that to do because you have to access to an hidden path. At best choose from the GM menu the "Manage User Scripts..." option and than edit the "Youtube Lyrics" script. When you are in the editor choose the "Save as ..." option from the file menu, now you should be able to copy the path from the saving dialog, the resources files are located in the same path of the script.

Now just start your preferred editor and chose to open an existing file, in the open file dialog paste the before copied path and you should see 10 xml files and 2 script files. The xml files are the resources files.

I'm not sure how but it's working now, thank you very much Aquilax!

I would like to help the project and translate the script into Hebrew, is there anything special i need to know?

Thanks again!

@Excaliber

Version 3.0 uses some xml files as resources, this is sadly but they can't be hosted by US.org, so I hosted them to fileden.com. Sometimes it needs a few seconds (5-6 seconds) to fetch these files. When I was testing the install process I had the same problem a couple of times, I not sure of it but don't switch window tab during the installation, wait until in the status bar appear the message that the script has been successful installed.

Hope this help.

In any case you can always install the old version again, you find it under the versions link:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/versions/22569

I can't upgrade to the new 3.0 version.

i install it and it doesnt say anything like "the script installed" or anything.

i have the latest greamonkey and i removed the old you tube lyrics plugin(version:2.10)

Firefox version:3.0.1

Greasmonkey version: 0.8.20080609.0

hope you will figure that out soon,

Tnx!

I'm not a flash coder, it is better that you ask Tim McCormak, he can surely give you an answer about it.

example for a online radio station with flash player;

http://www.radyoodtu.com.tr/iplayer/index.asp

the second line shows the name of the artist and the song. although it is a flash player,

you can copy the song name and paste it anywhere.

Can this info be taken by script?

if so, it will really very easy to modify the whole script for this lovely radio station : ))

@dkhal

Sorry dkhal, but the problem is not get the flash object or read the parameters of the embed tag, but read the internal variables of the flash program.

no you're way not updated check this code snipet



//lets say this is the flash on the web the simplest and the main thing of the flash

<embed src="something.swf">

</embed>

// this is one of i dnt know how many methods to get its name

var i, name;

var all=new Array();

all=document.getElementsByTagName("embed"); // gets all embed objects on the page

for(i=0; i<all>
if(all[i].src="something.swf"){

name=all[i].name;

}

}



piece of cake :P and this is the method where u know the source

if you do not know the source you can check for other know parameters of the flash object

I didn't know about this hack, I have never programmed something in flash (and I think I will never do it). Oh yeah, I see it, decompile the flash application, read the code and hopping that the author and title are assigned to a global variable. Most probably these are hacking tricks to debug flash programs, and surely they can't access to internal/local variables.

Flash Object Actions

Grab the name from a flash application is impossible

@Aquilax

Thank you for the "ncr" link ,i tried this some time ago , then i still got nl results ; it works now though ,so my problem is solved !

Cheers ,Lin

@linp

Look at the links below the google search page, you will see this link:

Google.com in English

@Guybrush, theoretically yes, but this script uses also part of youtube's css and javascript. Grab the name from a flash application is impossible, because the flash is also only a client and it receive the author and title from the server (the radio station).
