Terra Letras (lyrics plugin)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
---
This is a bugfix of the Caio Begotti's script. The original script is in http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Terra+Letras+%28lyrics+plugin%29?content=40133
This version deals better with accents, supress useless information from the lyrics server and works with recent versions of Amarok.
--Original Description--
Please install AMAROK-1.4 before you download this script, thanks!
This is my first amaroK's plugin that fetch lyrics from the amazing letras.mus.br's database: which according the EviLyrics site is the 4th biggest database available. Quite simple and still under development.
The plugin also store displayed lyrics in your homedir so that you can sing along even offline :-)
It has also a minimal GUI to make the language of fetched lyrics configurable using a GUI.
Changelog:
Updates since the first public tarball:
- Now every line's first word is capitalized, making it more "normal".
- It has a GUI now to configure the language of the fetched lyrics (currently it's en_US or pt_BR).
- Now we alert you about not found lyrics.
- The lyrics body now shows empty lines in new paragraphs (was a config problem in the fetcher).
- Added a simple XML header to the lyrics data sent to the player.
- Just fixed the problem of cutting off some lines.
- Better error handling :-P
- Deals with accents
- Supress useless information from the lyrics server
- Works with recent versions of Amarok

Hi, the plugin is cutting the first verses of the music..can you help? PT - Oi, o plugin está cortando os primeiros versos da música, pode me ajudar?
Não tenho mais o amarok 1.x instalado... Já tentou o Amarok 2.2?
For amarok 2: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Terra+Lyrics?content=98169
Your script is not fetching lyrics for me.. It says it haven't found the lyrics, but I've checked at letras.mus.br and it does exist there. Note that I believe they've changed their search system, since when you search something at the website using that top search bar, they send you to a page with Google results for your search. Anyway, keep growing :P Best wishes
Oh well, after the exact moment I've posted the last message, it turned out that the lyrics are being found now. O_o Odd things happens :P I'll report you guys any other problem I might have, anyway... Sorry for bothering
Ok, thanks for your feedback.
Hi there Danilo, thanks for your efforts in making so many contributions to my Terra Letras plugin! I thought that the one you sent me by e-mail was the only one. Would you mind if I merge them all back into my code? I'd like to release an update and your name could be on it :-)
Of course I wouldn't mind you merge them. the plugin is yours after all. Didn't send this to you because I thought you weren't working in it anymore, sorry for that. Congratulations for the wonderful plugin, Caio! Please notice that I hacked the version 0.5, not 0.6, wich one I couldn't understand (the code). And notice that the changes I sent you before were broken =( , but everything is corrected in the script in this page. Nice to work with you. ---Same in Brazilian Portuguese--- Claro que eu não me importaria que você as mixasse, o plugin é seu, no fim das contas. Eu não te mandei essa versão porque pensei que você não estivesse mais trabalhando nele, desculpe-me por isso. Note, por favor, que eu modifiquei a versão 0.5, e não a 0.6, já que não entendi o código desta última. E também note que as mudanças que te mandei antes estavam erradas =( , mas tudo foi corrigido no script desta página. É bom trabalhar com você.
