Guide for sync'd lyrics?

[johnson]

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
