Add support of syllable LRC to Plexamp

Feature Suggestions
1

Plexamp lacks support of syllable LRC format. The request is to add it.

The example of syllable LRC format is

[00:00.00] <00:00.04> When <00:00.16> the <00:00.82> truth <00:01.29> is <00:01.63> found <00:03.09> to <00:03.37> be <00:05.92> lies 
[00:06.47] <00:07.67> And <00:07.94> all <00:08.36> the <00:08.63> joy <00:10.28> within <00:10.53> you <00:13.09> dies 
[00:13.34] <00:14.32> Don't <00:14.73> you <00:15.14> want <00:15.57> somebody <00:16.09> to <00:16.46> love

For more, see LRC (file format): A2 extension: word time tag

Benefit for users: the overall experience of Plexamp app for users will be closer to the experience of Apple Music app, as Apple Music has syllable lyrics.

Upd.: adding screen capture of how it looks like in Apple Music.
AppleMusicSyllableLyrics.zip (6.6 MB) - there is AppleMusicSyllableLyrics.mp4 in the archive
Currently Plexamp highlights only the whole line at once because it look like Plexamp supports only simple LRC format now, and the request is to add a support of the extended LRC format in which syllable lyrics are supported (see wiki link above).

I don’t have any LRC files at hand but Plex should handle those just fine… not sure about player support within Plexamp.

Well, there is an example in the description which you can try.

That’s not true. Plex does not support syllable LRC format.

I created this request for a reason - Plexamp does not support syllable LRC format.

Please understand the request first and read description carefully. Plex and Plexamp support only simple LRC format. Syllable lyrics are a part of extended LRC format.

Plex developers, any comments on that?

I agree we need proper LRC support in Plex, I’ve put LRC files in my library with naming and everything according to Plexs documentation but it doesn’t pick up the LRC files

This is a wholly different issue and has nothing ot do with the feature request. Please stick to the topic.
If you have trouble with your sidecar lyrics not getting recognized, please open an own thread in the regular section of the forum.

same request, the enhanced lrc format is already supported by many players. I expect plexamp will also support displaying it.

That’s not valid in this subforum.

The Lyrics need a face lift on iOS and the A2 support. Definitely would like to see this feature.
