Scrolling Lyrics

[Sammy 790]

I like the ability to add lyrics to my music but unless one wants to scroll them manually to keep with the song playing they become pretty pointless.

I know other music services such as Apple Music and Amazon Music have lyrics time synced (LRC) to the music. I know this is how subtitle files basically work so it should be able to be implemented in Emby but the playback stream would have to be a video stream I presume. Is there any plans to implement this? I see some things on Reddit and the git for this so it's out there, just needs to be implemented but TVE implementation is of bigger importance if I had to choose what I want Emby to do!

Hi.  We already do this but you need to have timed lyrics.

Thanks @ebr!

The blog/wiki made no mention of this so I didn't know.

 

What's the easiest way to source, download and install these and overwrite the ones I already fetched as instructed in the blog/wiki?

Any tool out there that will get lyric files but the KB mentions "MediaHuman".  But there are plugins for mp3tag and picard.

I recently discovered lrcGET. But there are other tools. In the past I used extentions to foobar2000.

LRCGET seems the best ive found so far for personal use but also perhaps for Emby Project to more officially support.

There are more synced lyrics and the lyrics are downloaded next to the media (as .txt or .lrc) which Emby supports (and fits with Emby paradigm of not changing media).

They support an api and an offline download of their 16GB sqllite database (a plugin accessing a local file could be very quick).

As for the API it says its unthrottled...took approximately 3 hours to download 70000 lyrics.

They support crowd sourcing edits.

Finally got around to this. Downloaded the LRCGET installer from GitHub and it is initializing the library now. I have about 17,000 songs currently in my library and the initialization is nearly complete in the time it took to type this out..

Thanks for the link. I got it running now. Looks like it's going to take a while for approximately 17,000 songs on a Gig connection.
