Is there any way you could add support for Musixmatch/Spotify's synced lyrics? (Spotify sources their lyrics from Musixmatch)
After some digging online, I was able to find this GitHub repo: (https://github.com/akashrchandran/syrics-web)
It seems he was successfully able to extract .lrc files from Spotify.

Is the linked website still running well?
I don't use Spotify and have just tried downloading the lyrics using that site, but it didn't seem to find anything.
Does one have to be logged in or something?



Edit:

...first signs indicate that it may be beyond the capabilities of this plugin.

Sorry man, I don't think synced Musixmatch/Spotify lyrics are gonna be a possibility with this plugin anytime soon.
I checked it out last night and it's a tough nut to crack.

[Mayibongwe]

could you please take a look at the Built-in Genius provider when you have chance, it seems to have stopped working recently?

Should be working fine now if you redownload the plugin.

Yeap all good now. Thank you.

Sorry to ask if it has been answered already but despite searching this thread, I couldn't find an answer : How to retrieve lyrics for a song if the title contains parentheses. It means that the title will be cropped and the lyrics won't be found....

How to retrieve lyrics for a song if the title contains parentheses. It means that the title will be cropped and the lyrics won't be found....

It might help if you provided a specific example of a song that others can test.

Melancholy (Holy Martyr) by Iced Earth
Not found on Genius

Strange, for me it does get found at the first attempt:


And my title even has two phrases that are between parentheses:



Are you using a recent version of the plugin?
(the current one being 1.2.0.6)

Yes, the latest version

[hiccup]

Yes, the latest version

Can you post the exact song title you have in code?

This is what I tested this on, and as you saw, for me it works:

It broke recently when Spotify paywalled their lyrics. It used to reliably find lyrics for almost any song.

I don't know if this helps at all, but I'll include it regardless. I found this Foobar plugin that can automatically scan your library and output .lrc files from Musixmatch. It requires a user token to work and it is pretty hit or miss but it still works after the Spotify paywall.

In the log, i have this :

In the <Title> tag, MusicBee automatically removes the last parenthesized portion before sending it to the plugin:
This is largely helpful, except ofc in a few instances like your title above - see here: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=31635.0

Melancholy (Holy Martyr) is submitted to the plugin as Melancholy
and Melancholy (Holy Martyr) (live) as Melancholy (Holy Martyr)

The fuzzy versions of the providers are much more suited for handling tracks with tags that are not an exact match.
Enabling Genius (fuzzy) should pick your song up. You'll want to position it below the normal Genius for optimal results.

I don't know if this helps at all, but I'll include it regardless.

It will help some day for sure. But for now, this plugin only relies on webpages that have the lyrics provided in plain text.
The synchronized versions of the Musixmatch lyrics are not available for viewing on any webpage (just in web-based applications like your Spotify, Instagram, etc.)

The original author of this plugin had structured it in a way that catered for various retrieval methods - static, search, and API.
At the moment, only the first two are implemented. I assume the "token" game you mentioned that other plugins are using is API based?

That would all be new territory for me I'm afraid. I would have to research a few things for which I unfortunately no longer have the kind of time for nowadays.
But yeah, maybe some day, one of us here will be able to get the API side of searching on this plugin going.

Edit:
By the way, on the forum we have somebody who's managed to create Genius and Museexmatch plugins that have direct access.
So you may try contacting slonopot to see if he wouldn't be able to fetch synced lyrics on his side:

I didn't think about the fuzzy version, good advice  
Thanks for the tip, now I better understand how the plugin is working

I'm on latest version.

A bunch of providers aren't working.
