ok I found the proper text for genius.yml and have updated it.
name: Genius (2022-1-27)
variables:
artist:
type: artist
filters:
- strip_diacritics
- lowercase
- [replace, "!!!", "chk-chik-chick"]
- [regex, '(?<=\W|\s)+(feat.+|ft[\W\s]+|(f\.\s)).+', ""]
- [regex, '\.+|,+|(\W+(?=$))|(^\W+)', ""]
- [regex, "'", ""]
- [regex, '(?<=[a-z0-9%])[^\sa-z0-9%]+(?=[a-z0-9%]+)', "-"]
- [regex, '((?<=\s)([^a-z0-9\s-])+(\s|\W)+)|((?<=\w)([^a-z0-9-])+(\s|\W)+)', " "]
- [strip_nonascii, -]
title:
type: title
filters: artist
config:
url: "https://genius.com/{artist}-{title}-lyrics"
pattern: ['<div data-lyrics-container="true" class="Lyrics__Container-sc-1ynbvzw-6 jYfhrf">(?<lyrics>.*)<div class="Lyrics__Footer-sc-', 's']
post-filters:
- br2nl
- strip_html
- utf8_encode
- entity_decode
- clean_spaces
- [regex, '\[.{1,75}\]', ""]
- [regex, '\n{2,}',"\n\n", 's']
- trim
but it still hasn't worked - here is the log after I updated the yml:
