lrcShow-X, is ported from Amarok-1.4.x script lrcShow-II. It's independent of Amarok2's script system. Just run ./lrcShow-X --amarok. At present it support amarok2 and audacious, indeed it could support any player which has dbus interface.

It performs well with amarok2 and audacious here, except you stop the amarok2, I think it's amarok2's bug, not confirmed. But somebody do has a problem when run the app, if you run the app and it shows:
./lrcShow-X.py --amarok

Thanks.

Perhaps you could enlighten us as to what exactly the issue is?  I'm all for fixing bugs in Amarok, but I'd rather not go hunting through your codebase.

Your script shows lyrics, right? So all you need to grab from amarok is the current playing track?

Use dbus: /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata()

just for testing and help me to find bugs. someone use this app, occurs a fatal error, but it never happens here, i want to confirm. that's all.

i never imagine an amarok developer to help me to find bug
