Trying to make the latest feature work, but I can’t.
I downloaded the latest PMS version. Forced a Refresh All on my premium music library. I have hundreds of CD, and none have lyrics …
AM I missing something
?
Lyrics are only available in currently licensed countries

(scroll down)
I am currently in a licensed country (Italy)
There are currently a few quirks to iron out. Try to refresh one single album first.
- Don’t play a song from a search result. Just browse your library normally.
- Don’t try a ‘Various Artists’ album or a song without album. Use a conventional ‘one artist’-album.
Take a look at your log folder. Dive into the sub-folder PMS Plugin Logs.
We need com.plexapp.agents.lyricfind.log
In there, we should see lines like:
2015-12-23 00:05:25,437 (10ee01000) : DEBUG (networking:166) - Requesting 'http://127.0.0.1:32400/services/lyricfind/search?reqtype=default&searchtype=track&limit=100&output=json&artist=Black%20Sabbath&track=Jack%20the%20Stripper/Fairies%20Wear%20Boots'
with 127.0.0.1 being the IP adress of your Plex Server.
Are you seeing those?
If yes, what do you get when you paste one of these URLs into the adressbar of your web browser?
example output if all goes well:
{"response":{"code":100,"description":"SUCCESS"},"totalresults":1,"totalpages":1,"tracks":[{"lfid":"001-1191222","amg":1191222,"instrumental":false,"viewable":true,"has_lrc":false,"title":"Jack the Stripper/Fairies Wear Boots","artist":{"name":"Black Sabbath"},"snippet":"Goin\u0027 home late last night,
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window and surprise what I saw:
Fairy boots are dancin\u0027 with a dwarf
All ...","score":40.569168}]}
totalresults=1 means there is one positive lyric search result for that song
viewable means that the licensing for your country is ok and the lyrics can actually be displayed.
You might wait several days. I updated my entire library of over 2300 tracks one night thinking I would see the lyrics show up right away. NOPE! But after several days of being patient, they are now there. It’s so sweet! Thanks Plex! Now if only I could get the programmers to give me a button or setting to keep them visible instead of having to click the lyrics button every time Plex changes tracks.
I have the same issue, have updated whole library which took for ever and no lyrics, and I have no lyricfind log in the plugin log folder.
What have I done wrong, any ideas?
Yes now I see the lyrics as well. It would be nice to understand how the retrieval from the database works.
If for example is needed that the TAGS ALBUM, SONG NAME, ARTIST NAME has to be filled (or whatever combination is needed) to have the lyrics download.
Knowing this we could adjust the file properties. I also have lots of compilations (official compilation album), unofficial compilation (made by me or others), for which I am not sure we get the lyrics (I think, haven’t had the time to check it all)

Thanks! The single album thing worked for me - I just wanted to see it work once - I can wait for the library to update eventually.
I imagine like all things Plex, it’ll just get better and more consistent.
@OttoKerner I’m getting the same problem. I just updated this morning. Hopefully it will iron itself out. When I posted one of those links I got 401 Unauthorized back as the result.

If you have Plex Home active on your server, you must apped your Plex Token to the query string

Lyrics feature works and then doesn’t work again after some updates.
