Synced lyrics view not working

[jansol]

Noticed that tauon does detect the embedded lyrics from the unsyncedlyrics and lyrics tags and should support timed lyrics too. However I have synced lyrics for (only) one track both as a separate lrc file and the same data embedded in the lyrics tag and while the lyrics are detected and static view shows the plain text including timestamps as expected, the synced view does not show anything at all.

Btw if a file contains both synced and unsynced lyrics, does the static view take the unsynced ones and synced view the synced ones or will both always show the same thing? Would be nice to have them separate so it is possible to have the option to choose between timed and non timed lyrics with no timestamps cluttering up the view.

Currently syncedlyrics tags are completely ignored by Tauon, synced lyrics are only read from .lrc files.

You can switch between static and synced in the case both are present.

If timestamps are appearing in the lyrics view then that is either a bug or you have incorrectly tagged files.

I tried the unsyncedlyrics tags that bandcamp adds and lyrics tag that picard offers. Both show as static lyrics. After removing both tags the synced lyrics do appear to get pulled from the .lrc file and shown correctly (although I expected it to only show the current line and not the whole thing).

What confused me was that having either of the lyrics tags in the file makes a clickable "Lyrics" appear in the info sidebar, but the presence of a .lrc file does not. I guess the timestamps were showing up because they were in the tag in the file, with only the .lrc file they do not appear.

With presence of tags like [ar]: Imagine Dragons and similar which aren't timestamps, whole lyrics are displayed in raw format along with [00:01:21]. Removing those artist name and similar tags, it works flawlessly.

a note; some .lrc files contain non-synced lyrics, e.g.

[23:28:34] sol :: sternenstrahl  ➜  Music/Blackmore’s Night/Dancer and the Moon » cat 10\ Somewhere\ Over\ the\ Sea\ \(The\ Moon\ Is\ Shining\).lrc
[ti:Somewhere over the Sea (The Moon Is Shining)]
[al:Dancer and the Moon]
[ar:Blackmore's Night]
[length: 04:07.05]
The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The harp wind through it playing has language for me
Whenever the light through its branches is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
...

In this case, TauonMB just doesn't show anything at all (an empty box). All .lrc files with timecodes present render correctly.

I got synced lyrics to show up by having them in a .lrc file with the same name as the track itself.
