Instruction

1. Denpendencies

First check your macOS python (the programming language this plugin is written in) version, which should be 3.7+. All commands should be executed in your terminal.

python3 --version

pip

pip is a package management tool for python.

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py

You might want to restart your terminal. Then we can install this plugin by

pip3 install touchbar_lyric --upgrade

Python Path

Take a note for the python3 path. We will refer it as ${PYTHONPATH}

which python3

2. Configuration in BetterTouchTool

Same as Kashi:

1. Copy&paste the content in lyric.json in Meun Bar > Touch Bar;
2. Change the python path /Users/chenghaomou/Anaconda/bin/python to your own python path ${PYTHONPATH} in the script area;
3. Change any parameters as you like: fc(font color in RGB), bg(background color in RGB), and fs(font size)

${PYTHONPATH} -m touchbar_lyric --app Music

or use Spotify(default)

${PYTHONPATH} -m touchbar_lyric --app Spotify

Show Traditional Chinese lyrics

${PYTHONPATH} -m touchbar_lyric --app Spotify --traditional

You can also add --rainbow flag at the end of the command to have a nice rainbow specturm as the background.

Becareful with typing double slash in BTT. It automatically change it to long slash. Use copy & paste instead!
