I usually use that before creating a post.
The only kind of similar request I found when searching for “cover lyrics” or “art lyrics” is this:
Which is about now playing, not the lyrics view.
And since you added new features to the lyrics view recently anyways (which I like a lot) it would’ve been possible that your opinion on having the cover/album art in the lyrics view as well could have changed.
With artist/title + miniplayer it’s no longer minimalistic anyhow (unless the user chooses it to be, which is a good thing in my opinion).
The idea behind it is being able to make a song with faulty timings “usable” during playback until the user is back at the PC and has time to fix the root issue, which is the tag or lyrics file. Unless the provider has write access to the tag or lyrics file, defining an offset in the provider seems pointless to me as the root issue would persist and re-emerge in all other providers/players.
I wasn’t aware of that. It’s not about duplicating now playing tho. At least not for me. I just think it would be really cool and clean to for example split the lyrics screen 50/50 between cover and lyrics, which should work perfectly in both portrait and landscape mode.
It’s your call tho and you seem to have made up your mind.
I can’t think of a way to work that out without making now playing worse. It currently displays a good amount of information in a clean way.
Imho that would be a downgrade. I think keeping now playing and lyrics view separate is a good thing.
I just don’t think they have to be mutually exclusive (considering the cover/art).
Thanks for that information, I didn’t know lrc files support an offset value. The software I’ve used to correct the timing of lyrics adjusted the actual timestamps instead. I’ll have to test if all my players support the [offset:] way as well.
Sounds complicated, I hadn’t even tried Symfonium in landscape mode as I never use apps that don’t display video in that mode. But I’m sure other people do.
When I tried landscape mode just now I think I found some unwanted behavior for the lyrics view.
Maybe it’s a design choice but isn’t the title supposed to be centered like the artist?
And another thing I noticed:
After changing back to portrait mode, the title scrolls out of frame and doesn’t re-appear.
These are my settings for the lyrics view in case they influence this behaviour.
Too late about the novel part. I type 110wpm on average and try to be as precise as I can with what I write.
I usually don’t try to tell you that you’re wrong tho (the thing about scrobbling being an exception).
A compromise between how I would want things to be in a perfect world and what is reasonable is what I usually try to find.
That being said, it’s fine if you don’t implement the offset or the cover/album art in the lyrics view.
I already like the lyrics view a lot as it is now.
These 2 things would simply have been the cherries on top of the cake.
