Error loading lyrics

Server Version#: 1.27.2.5929 (QNAP X86)
Player Version#: 1.48.2.3124-647ff031 (MacBook Air (M1, 2020))

This question has been around for a while, opening the lyrics shows “Error loading lyrics”

I’m not able to reproduce this. Can you try refreshing the album, then try playing the file again? Get me the server logs if you get the same failure.

Sorry for replying a few days late.
Following your instructions, I refreshed the album metadata, but the problem remains. Test time: July 21, 17:33 Beijing time

Everything looks fine. Can you try in other Plex clients and see if you get the same. It may be a specific problem to the Plex for Mac app.

ios , mac , web client all have the same problem

Excuse me, is there any progress? Thank you

I’ve been trying to recreate this but I can’t. Can you enable logging in the Web client, reproduce the error, then grab the logs and send those to me.

The time when the problem occurred: Beijing time, July 26, 07:20-07:21

The logs say that the lyrics could not be retrieved from LyricFind. Keep in mind that we don’t store the Lyrics, just the link to them. Has this worked for you in the past?

Before, when the lyrics button was displayed on the playback interface, the lyrics could definitely be displayed.
Now, when the lyrics button is displayed on the playback interface, most of the lyrics cannot be displayed, but there are still a few that can display the lyrics.
If the inability to retrieve lyrics from LyricFind is caused by network problems, the playback interface should not display the lyrics button, and some music can retrieve and display lyrics from LyricFind, indicating that the possibility of network problems is relatively small.

A portion of music can retrieve lyrics from LyricFind and display

Can you Plex Dance that Celine Dion album? If it still doesn’t work, get me a new log.

For comparison, I conducted two parts of the test: the lyrics can be displayed normally and the lyrics are displayed incorrectly

  1. Test time when lyrics can be obtained and displayed from LyricFind: July 26, 20:10 Beijing time
  2. Test time for displaying lyrics error: Beijing time, July 26, 20:11

Did you play something else? Please continue using the Celine Dion song so it’s easer to track. Did you perform the Plex Dance as requested for that album?

Refer to Plex Dance , follow the steps to perform the relevant operations, the problem still exists.

  1. Follow the steps to perform the “Plex Dance” operation: Beijing time, July 27, 09:07-09:10
  2. Play the album “Courage (Deluxe Edition)”, in which “03 - Falling In Love Again.flac” is loaded with lyrics error, time: July 27, 09:11 Beijing time
  3. Play the album “Courage (Deluxe Edition)”, in which “04 - Lying Down.flac” can load the lyrics correctly, time: July 27, 09:12 Beijing time

Ok, so it shows a 404 error (file not found) when it is looking for the lyric file. So PMS thinks there is a lyric but it can’t find it. That’s causing the error. Let me try creating a test album with that song and see if I can reproduce the problem. It could be an issue that LyricFind has a bad file on their end.

Actually looking more at your logs. LyricFind didn’t even run to find lyrics. Are you using embedded lyrics in your files? Can you PM those 2 tracks so I can try.

I tried creating a test album and it shows it found 0 matching lyrics. It is very common for LyricFind to not have lyrics for other versions of an album other than the original, so it not finding lyrics for the Deluxe Edition is not unusual.

Test file, please help to verify. Thank you

@MovieFan.Plex Hi, according to your requirements, re-test and reproduce the problem

  1. The music files used for testing are from the files that were uploaded to you earlier
  2. test video
    test video.mov.zip (18.9 MB)
  3. test log (Test time: Beijing time, August 3, 14:49-14:50)
    log.zip (749.3 KB)

Do you still see the Lyric button? It looks like you still have the album in your regular library, so it may be reusing the old info. We need to clear out that info so it won’t reuse it.

@anon18523487 Hello, delete the original music album and test again, the problem remains

The test steps are as follows:

  1. delete music album “/share/CACHEDEV5_DATA/Music/s4j4_Music/席琳·迪翁 (Celine Dion)/Courage (Deluxe Edition)”
  2. Scan music library
  3. Empty Recycle Bin
  4. clean bundles

The above is performed according to the steps of Plex Dance, the operation time is 19:35-19:37 Beijing time on August 5th

  1. Next create a “test” music library, the file in the music library is the previously uploaded “Courage (Deluxe Edition).zip”.
