Add time sync for lyrics.

[sophronesis]

It is possible to get track length and current position of track from mpris/dbus and this can be used to highlight current position in lyrics. Would be really interesting to see something like this implemented.

@sophronesis i'm sure you came from "ncspot" for not adding lyrics options. Altho this requests is possible,Timing position can be inconsistent and requires some work. I'll try to implement this, whenever i get some free time.

Should be able to integrate this with mpd using the mpd idle feature and mpd's unix socket.

i've made a similar script recently.

Really cool. ChatGPT says that it doesn't natively support mpd via the dbus interface?

So, bottom line this for me. I'm listening to

  Playing: Sugaree - Gov't Mule with Bob Weir
           2007-06-16: Bonnaroo Music Festival, Manchester, TN
           05-new.music/Gov't Mule -- 2007-06-16: Bonnaroo Music Festival, Manchester, TN (2007)/
           01-05 - Gov't Mule with Bob Weir -- Sugaree.mp

I mean, objectively this is a pretty interesting track, what with Haynes and Weir at Bonnaroo doing a traditional that the Dead worked over for decades...but I'm not sure that lyrics files are going to exist with timing to match the performance.

How far off is being able to have AI listen and adjust the timing?

dbus with mpd is optional.

How far off is being able to have AI listen and adjust the timing?

there are some projects for this, but i still haven't tried any of them:

• https://github.com/smacke/ffsubsync
• https://github.com/sc0ty/subsync
• https://github.com/karaokenerds/karaoke-generator
  • https://github.com/lukereichold/SpeechTimestamper
  • https://github.com/EtienneAb3d/WhisperTimeSync

btw if you have only a few songs to resync, you could simply fix them manually with SubtitleEdit.
