3The repository is intended only as an archive for the former ruby version of lyricli

5## The command line client for lyrics ##
6
7This is a quick introduction for Lyricli. Right now it's in really early
8stages of development, so it's lacking in a lot of stuff (mainly tests
9and documentation) ... But it generally works and here's a tutorial to
10see how to get it working.
11
12### Installing ###
13
14`gem install lyricli`
15
16### Usage ###
17
18Lyricli can be invoked with the command `lrc` and there are three basic
19ways of using it:
20
21`lrc`
22
23When you run it without arguments, it will look in the available sources
24to try to find a playing song and extract the lyrics.
25
26`lrc artist song`
27
28When you run it with arguments, it will use them to search for the
29lyrics. This won't work if you manually disable the arguments source in
30your configuration file.
31
32#### Commands ####
33
34The third way to use it is by passing it one of the following special
35commands:
36
37* `lrc -l` or `lrc --list-sources` lists the available sources.
38* `lrc -e` or `lrc --enable SOURCE` enable a source from the list.
39* `lrc -d` or `lrc --disable SOURCE` disable a source from the list.
40* `lrc -r` or `lrc --reset SOURCE` reset all configuration for a source.
41* `lrc -v` or `lrc --version` show the installed version of lyricli.
42* `lrc -h` or `lrc --help` display some help
43
44#### It always gives me rdio even if using iTunes ####
45
46Due to the way the rdio API works, we can't tell if you're actively
47listen and it always returns the last song. Currently the best way to
48have the sources correctly is to enable **rdio first** and then
49**itunes**. If you enabled itunes first, you can just disable and
50re-enable and it should fix it.
51
52### Roadmap ###
53
54There is not much defined right now as a roadmap, but this needs to be
55done:
56
57* Specs for all the components
58* YARD documentation for all the components
59
60And the first thing I want to work on after that is done is separating
61the Lyrics Engines so we can add/remove lyrics engines in a similar way to how
62we currently add/remove sources.
63
64Also, I want to add the last song to the configuration, so you can check
65that. This would let us "watch" lyricli without hammering the lyrics
66wiki api
67
68Also, during the enable phase, sources like iTunes should check for
69proper OS and stop if they're not in their home turf.
