Lyrics integration?

[antoinevandenhurk]

Dear music lovers,

The 'music assistant' keeps getting better and better. Thank you very much for that, I enjoy using this feature!
Wouldn't it be great to integrate the lyrics of the playing song into the MASS interface? In any case, I would certainly appreciate it!

Perhaps it could be done the way Robert did it. https://github.com/robert-alfaro/genius-lyrics

Have a nice day...

[OzGav]

Thanks for the suggestion. This won’t happen before the 2.0 release. After that we will see how many votes this feature gets…

[max246]

Any news?

[OzGav]

No. I don’t mind the idea but with 8 votes it is way down the list at the moment.

I am up for testing out something, I am not familar with this code base but I suppose Spotify might expose the endpoint.
I might thinker around with the project and see if there is some interest in reviewing my code

Roon as a method to choose chromecast enabled tvs as display for artwork and stnced lyrics. I want this feature. It even works on a web ui server-running-roon:9330

[OzGav]

It isn’t clear what you are asking for here but I don’t see we need anything from Roon when we have existing providers for lyrics.

Current releases of Jellyfin have lyrics support integrated, it would be nice to make use of that.

[Chris78c]

Sync Lyrics would be the best. I vote for this suggestion.

[antoinevandenhurk]

Good suggestion

[AnshulJ999]

+1 for this. Any method of having synced lyrics in HA would be so cool.

Lyrics support for Tidal is coming in the next 2.6.0 betas. Support for other providers will follow thereafter.

[Vergil365]

You can tag your music with lyrics but the plugin will pull the lyrics into the MA database for you. MA does understand the lyrics tag

• • I installed the beta version 2.6.0 and added my music with the subsonic provider, but i dont see lyrics in music assistant.
    Where should it be displayed?
    In the player?

Lyrics not supported yet with that provider

Ok, i thought music assistant can read the "Lyrics" tag no matter what provider.
in this case i will be patient.
thank you for your work 😊

Are there plans in place to support lyrics with this provider? Kind of a deal breaker, and I'm happy to PR if there's nothing in motion yet :)

To be clear, I'd like MA to read the LYRICS tag on tracks served from Navidrome specifically (but in theory any Subsonic provider). Symfonium on Android does this so it should be possible.

If you click on the queue button it sometimes appears as a 3rd tab - Played - Queue - Lyrics like that

I love how the lyrics are integrated. Is this still a work in progress? Maybe an adjustable sync option would be a good addition. Some lyrics are not completely in sync depending on the (original) music file. Nevertheless, great work so far!

They are identical:

I checked the version again:

Sorry for all this trouble. I'm sure is something very silly on my side but I ran out of ideas.

[OzGav]

@fmunkes Any ideas?

[fmunkes]

2 questions:

• What's the lrc file's encoding?
• Can you post the first couple lines of one of the lrc files?

[sgzFalcon]

Of course, here you have the first lines:

[00:00.38] Oh oh whoa oh oh
[00:03.27] Oh oh whoa oh oh
[00:05.49] Oh oh whoa oh oh
[00:09.98] Fear

Encoding is UTF-8. I got all the files from lrclib using LRCGET

[sgzFalcon]

It was me indeed who didn't know where to look for them. In case there are more people like me out there:

1. Select the player
2. Select the queue
3. On the top options click on Lyrics
   

Thank you @OzGav and @fmunkes

Are lyrics from Jellyfin supported yet?

[OzGav]

Next beta there is a change that might enable 5his. I haven’t got Jellyfin to try it.

[edisun3003]

For ex, in Roon I can stream the music to my amplifier via airplay or raat server and then for DISPLAYING ALONE i can select the chromecast enabled TV . Attaching the image

[edisun3003]

In this pic the music is streamed to my Marantz-MCR612 via airplay , for the display i selected my chromecast enabled Sony TV which displays artwork and time synced lyrics from lrc file or embedded lyrics

[edisun3003]

Attaching the display settings page of roon if u can get a better idea of what im saying.

[OzGav]

Ok this has little to do with adding lyrics support. You need to open your own feature request for secondary display support (as that’s what it sounds like to me)

[maxi1134]

I downloaded lyrics for all my tracks and can see them in the MA sub-sub-sub-menu.

Any way to get this in a HA card for easy display on tablets?

[OzGav]

Good question. The answer is not at the moment as that info isn't exposed to the HA action responses. I'll keep it in mind for future updates

[maxi1134]

Alternatively, a way to access a MA lyrics page with a dedicated URL would work! THen we can Iframe that page; if that's easier to build than an integration with HA

[OzGav]

I'm not sure but have a look at the new API as you might find the info exposed there that you can use? https://beta.music-assistant.io/api/
