Led to this problem:

Seems to have started recently (within the past few weeks). No specific action on my part caused it.

Setup

• OS: Linux
• Python version: 3.11.8
• beets version: 1.6.0
• Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): n/a (turning off lyrics plugin would be irrelevant, no other plugins are currently loaded in the test environment)

My configuration (output of beet config) is:

lyrics:
    bing_lang_from: []
    sources: genius musixmatch
    auto: yes
    bing_client_secret: REDACTED
    bing_lang_to:
    google_API_key: REDACTED
    google_engine_ID: REDACTED
    genius_api_key: REDACTED
    fallback:
    force: no
    local: no
directory: /home/fmillion/Music

library: beets.db

Sorry, closed the wrong issue...

I am also having trouble getting lyrics with Beets.

When I use musixmatch every request will get a 404 (maybe they added some sort of verification? the python code r = requests.get("https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/<artist>/<song>") will have status code 404 even if the lyrics exist and I can visit them on my browser)

When I use lrclib it won't even try to fetch the lyrics, skipping straight to "lyrics not found" without any request in the logs.

Here's my config:

lyrics:
    bing_lang_from: []
    auto: yes
    sources: musixmatch
    bing_client_secret: REDACTED
    bing_lang_to:
    google_API_key: REDACTED
    google_engine_ID: REDACTED
    genius_api_key: REDACTED
