TCPMP skins

[-Jonny-]

Basically you just need 0.72RC1

• unzip attached to TCPMP folder (notice new Settings page in TCPMP)
• add your own .lrc lyric files

This works with 0.72RC1 (I have checked this out) or 0.81 (unknown source). Then unzip the attached to the folder that TCPMP player.exe is located in (usually "Program Files\TCPMP\").

Oh yes, most important, it displays lyrics (would have been nice if it displayed jpg art too, but not my program ). I found you can get lrc files from http://lrcdb.org/index.php I save them in same folder as music, and IMPORTANTLY same name with .lrc extension.

I don't know who to credit this to. I have a copy of v0.72RC1 (as I understand the last open release). But I also have 0.81, and unsure where I picked this up from. So please step forward whoever created "smart_lyric.plg" [original from here, sorry I don't speak chinese]

I have simply resized 176x180 skins to 480x536, and then created my own from this. I think many of you can do better

For those wishing to develop the skin:

You may want to investigate my 0.skn, 0.bmp (and template.bmp) to create your own skin. Also lang_sls.txt to add you own language (I only kept default). All the other skins are simply resized from 176x180.

The .bmp is 493x535. In Y, 43-492 is visible (unless user switches off Taskbar, Timeslider and Titlebar) - hence "template.bmp" to help you. I don't suggest switching off timeslider as there is no feedback in the skin, so the timeslider ("position") is only displayed, not user dragable. Anyway, it looks good

Sure. There's a picture of skin I quickly made, and also one of the resized ones. You can see also the new settings page. (Please see first post)

I'm hoping others will create better skins than mine, though!

If you're using TCPMP then Options\Settings... Select Page\Lyric at the bottom choose Skin (as in picture on post #1)

I have tried, but can't find how to do this . WMP doesn't do this either (the only way to show picture is to have "folder.jpg" in the folder).

According to http://www.wretch.cc/blog/doomer/4196774

The author is yy5000, if you have any problem, here is his contact info:

Also you can change the language according to the following:

First you have to download the plugin smart_lyric.plg and put it into tcpmp directory.
Moreover, you would see a file named language.tgz in your tcpmp directory.
There are many language files within it, extract what language you need.

For example, lang_cht.txt ( Traditional Chinese )
You need to ADD several lines to the end of lang_cht.txt because smart_lyric.plg need the follwing interface settings
