XMMS (Linux)
First, enable the "Support Input From File" option on AutoLyrix (inside Preferences, Advanced) and select the file '/tmp/song.tmp'.On XMMS, go to Preferences, select the "General Plugins" tab, enable the 'song change' plugin and click on Configure. Inside the config window, change the "XMMS starts a new song" command to "echo %s > /tmp/song.tmp".
Others (Windows)
You must use the All Players - Player Independent method. You also can send me an email so I can try to add it to the next AutoLyrix version.
Others (Linux)
You can use the XMMS style or you can run AutoLyrix (another instance) with command-line options to change the song title on the running instance of AutoLyrix.Example: AutoLyrix -f "My Music.mp3" or AutoLyrix -s "Artist - Song Title"
To make XMMS works only add the text 'echo "%n" > /tmp/currentSong.txt' in Preferences, General Plugins, Song Change Plugin and enable this plugin, run AutoLyrix and in Preferences enable the "Support Input From File" and select the file '/tmp/currengSong.txt'. And enjoy!
