Hi Jorge Rosa
thank you for offer and your work.
The bug is a duplicate of Bug #882359 and Bug #1108386 but we can keep this because of the new source code aspect.
It looks like the Irrlicht license is somehow compatible to the Mixxx Licens GPL 2, right?
From a short view to your code, it seems to be much more complex than just drop it into Mixxx. I am afraid it will be finally a mid size project.
First we need a to define the use cases. A lyric widget could be the start, but IMHO to be really useful we need a second window, that is intended to be shown by a beamer to the audience.
I would be happy if you find a contributor who picks this up. If you like to do the fist steps by yourself, I can offer a helping hand.
I think it is a good idea to announce the project at <email address hidden> and/or at http://www.mixxx.org/forums/ and ask for a helping contributor.Kind regards,
Daniel

This is not a "BUG" but seems to be the way to "request new features"... How about to add to MIXXX a widget specific for lyrics display?
I´ve developed this software (IMP-Irrlicht), and one of the features is display lyrics (works similar to ".sub" or ".srt" files for the movies, even file has same name, and its in same directory, it reads it) IMP at SOURCEFORGE: https://sourceforge.net/projects/irrlichtmp/?source=directory Fell free to copy all the code that you need from there. (All needed CPP files and everything needed is included there, its really simple and easy stuff) I´ve added the read/parse and display the lyrics code there. It´s not big, only a "few" lines. And... We will have a nice "karaoke player" too... Thankyou for your work!!
