LrcLib

[Slim1399]

Hi, 
I come from the world of Kodi and my library is more or less already in good order, including the lyrics, the lyrics are downloaded in a folder itself in the album concerned, unfortunately in Jellyfin there is no setting for this, is there any way to fix this ? 
I have quite a large library so this would be ideal for me.

I think you’re saying you already have lyrics downloaded to a file in the album folder.

As long as the file is named in a way that Jellyfin understands that it is for a song in that folder the LrcLib plugin won’t attempt to download lyrics as they already exist.

If that isn’t what you are saying please provide your exact folder layout.

the Lyric file is not near the track but in the folder called "lyrics".

A "lyrics" file isn't supported by Jellyfin. If you would like Jellyfin to use your lyrics you will need to follow our documentation.

I understood that well, but I published a request, so that if it is possible, an option in LrcLib can be created to choose or search and store the lyrics files, next to or in the track file

Just installed and tested the lrclib pluggin.
It works. But I dont like how it works : it saves the lrc files in the metadata folder, instead of the song's folder.

If the Jellyfin's default behavior (which is apparently also the behavior of the plugin) is to look first in the song's folder for a LRC file having the same name as the music file, then I am wondering why the plugin download them in the metadata folder at all when lyrics are not present ???

Makes no sense to me.

Because of this, the LRC files donwloaded by Jellyfin cant be used by external music apps plugged on the same music library.

It would be nice to have an option in the plugin to choose where we want the lyrics files to be saved

Lyrics should be saved in the same folder as the music files they belong too. And if that wasn't perfectly logical and satndard, then Jellyfin wouldnt look there to begin with.

COuld you explain what's the logic behind this ?

[crobibero]

When editing a libraries options there is a checkbox that says “Save lyrics into media folders”

@crobibero Woohoo now I like how it works :-)

That was it. Sorry but I didn't think to look there as my music library is in Jellyfin since years and I didn't know the pluggin added that option there on music libraries settings
IMO this option should be activated by default

Thanks
