Guide for sync'd lyrics? - johnson - 2024-07-18
I was looking at these two PRs (PR 1 and PR2) and want to know how to set this up. I can get static lyrics set up just fine, but would like to use the sync'd lyrics feature. What service provides the timestamps? Is the lyrics-lookup API built into JF to import the *.txt file? How can users implement this feature.
Is there a tutorial/guide/how-to on this that someone can point me to? I did a forum search but didn't find anything.

You don't import the lyrics file via the API, per se. It just needs to have the same name as the song it is for and be located in the same folder.
As for getting lyrics, I'm not aware of any guides. But lyrics are not unique to jellyfin. Read these links.

On the beets lyrics plugin page it provides links to the plugin's sources for lyrics.

That is how I was able to set up the static lyric support. Wondering where the time-stamped lyric txt/lrc files are. I get that this is probably outside the scope of basic JF support, so I'll ask on other forums.
Thanks again. You guys are great!
Edit to add: Here are a few notes:
- *.txt files are for static lyrics, not synced lyrics
- *.lrc files are for both static and dynamic (synced) lyrics
- As of today, the only place to reliably find timestamped *.lrc files is LRCLIB
- You can set up LRCLIB (lrclib.net) auto-generation with beets.io, a MusicBrainz Picard plug-in, or a python script that you create

I have a WIP plugin here to download from LrcLib

I've just updated JF to 10.10.3, installed LrcLib plugin and performed "Download missing lyrics" task
Some .lrc files have been downloaded into /var/lib/jellyfin/metadata/library/[id1]/[id2]/ folder
Log example:
[2024-12-22 18:13:45.703 +03:00] [INF] Saving lyrics to "/var/lib/jellyfin/metadata/library/[id1]/[id2]/[song name].lrc"
The question is how can I access lyrics in JF web interface?
I can't see any changes or new buttons
I think this info would be worth mentioning in manual

Run a library scan.

I ran:
Library/Refresh metadata/Scan for new and updated files
Library/Refresh metadata/Search for missing metadata
Dashboard/Labriries/Library/Scan library/Scan for new and updated files
Dashboard/Labriries/Library/Scan library /Search for missing metadata
Scheduled Tasks/Download missing lyrics
In various order
Still can't see any lyrics related interface elements
Where should I look for?

I found the issue - old version of frontend part was stuck in browser cache
Empty cache and hard reload fixed it
Plugin is super-cool
New button should appear here, if anyone wonder
