Up until I updated to 1.22.1, most of my vocal music would show lyrics, if I set it to. Now there are no lyrics or settings to do this. What happened?

Thank you BigWheel. “Refresh Metadata” is what it needed.

That worked for a while, but after a couple of updates, I am back to no lyrics. “Refresh Metadata” doesn’t bring them back anymore. Are there some other settings I need to change?

So stuff that had lyrics no longer do, or new stuff is not getting them?

Thanks @BigWheel for looking into this :slight_smile: I did not attach the underlying main log due to concerns of private info. However, please let me know if you need them (or anything else) and I could PM them to you.

Not sure if the server logs will still have them if this happened a few days ago but if you can message me the full server logs zip file. Refreshing metadata for library waiting a bit for it to finish then grab logs would be helpful too. ( try not to have anything playing at same time so the logs …

I can confirm on the Plex server for Windows 1.23, which released today, that the lyrics appear to be back after doing a full refresh of the music metadata.
