Add a row to server and client tables to check for lyrics support: handling .lrc or embedded lyrics in songs by servers, displaying the lyrics by the clients.

thx for the suggestion @jacktheripper19 Do you have an example of server/client that supports the lyric files?

jacktheripper19 commented 2 years ago

For what I use Dsub on Android support lyrics if they are available on the server. Also tuon music box on linux has this as a feature as well. But for the servers, I'm not sure if any of them support automatic downloads for lyrics.

thx for the info.

It's not important that the server supports auto download of lyric files. It's about supporting lyrics. If the API (e.g. subsonic) does not transmit the lyrics, the client won't receive lyrics, even if they are present. Which server backend are you using with dsub?

duplicate of #60 Let's keep this one open till we have a server that supports lyrics

jacktheripper19 commented 2 years ago

Subsonic and Navidrome have lyric support through the getLyrics API: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp#getLyrics https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/pull/1379

@jacktheripper19 thx! Should I check all servers that work with the subsonic API?

jacktheripper19 commented 2 years ago

It depends on the other servers if they use the getLyrics API or not. Unless they are forks of subsonic, I recommend verifying each of them. I just know that navidrome support it as well since I use it. I don't know about the others.
