LyricFind issues.

General Discussions

I can’t seem to get any lyrics for any tracks in my library.

Looking at the logs I can see that it’s attempting to but when I try to access the API myself I get an error.

Example API call: http://127.0.0.1:32400/services/lyricfind/search?reqtype=default&searchtype=track&limit=100&output=json&artist=Iron%20Maiden&track=The%20Trooper&X-Plex-Token={{MyToken}}

Result: {“response”:{“code”:200,“description”:“NOT AUTHORIZED”,“message”:“Only one of \u0027ipaddress\u0027 or \u0027territory\u0027 may be provided.”}}

Do I have something setup incorrectly? I’m running Plex Media Server version 1.0.0.2261 on Mac OS.

I too am having issues with LyricFind, also on a Mac, same server version.

When I run the API call http://127.0.0.1:32400/services/lyricfind/search?reqtype=default&searchtype=track&limit=100&output=json&artist=Carrie%Underwood20&track=Twisted&X-Plex-Token={My Token} I’m also getting the same response code error:

{“response”:{“code”:200,“description”:“NOT AUTHORIZED”,“message”:“Only one of \u0027ipaddress\u0027 or \u0027territory\u0027 may be provided.”}}

So it’s not just me experiencing this. Is it a MacOS issue?

As the error mentions territory, I should point out I’m located in Great Britain. In case that could be a cause.

Based on another topic post I made with issues with Vevo and Lyricfind in the Plex Media Server topics at forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1213332#Comment_1213332, this appears to be a bug in the 1.0 release of Server. I had a backup of 0.9.16.6 that I reverted to and everything started working as expected.

This seems to definitely be a problem in the version(s) of the Plex server Mac editions. Lyrics have disappeared completely for me too. Was working fine a few weeks ago.

Plex pass region is Australia for me so I guess it affects all versions.

I can confirm this showed up at some point before 0.9.17.2

Just as a data point, Lyricfind is working fine on my Linux system, so it may have something to do with being on a Mac OS.

Looks like it’s almost certainly an issues with PMS 1.0 on Mac OS then. Hopefully it’s fixed soon.

Same issue here on MacOS

I was hoping
(OS X) In some cases, lyrics would not display (#4872)
in the latest Plex version was referring to this issue but I’m still unable to get lyrics for any music.

I was hoping too but unfortunately lyrics are still missing on all devices. OS X El Capitan and Plex server version 1.0.1.2396.

So after rebuilding my entire library from scratch lyrics have returned to all devices. As a bonus (with the latest PMS) I now have actors thumbs with RT ratings on Apple TV for the first time.

It is a lot of work but has solved the 2 problems I was having.

Edit: This has also solved a problem with “Watch Later” on Apple Tv not playing back any videos in the list. Now everything seems to be working as advertised.

Happy customer. Thanks Plex team.

Yup I had to do the exact same. Lyrics are now showing up on Apps.
