detect more metadata
allow offsetting any eternal sub
fix offset-lrc again
This is a collection of scripts to manage LRC synchronized lyrics of songs playings in mpv. It provides keybindings to download the lyrics of the current song, and also scripts to create and synchronize lyrics yourself with vim on Unix-like systems.
Downloads the lyrics of the currently playing song from Musixmatch's API.
The default keybinding is Alt+m, and it can be changed by binding script-message musixmatch-download
Downloads the lyrics of the currently playing song from NetEase's API. It has more Japanese lyrics than Musixmatch.
The default keybinding is Alt+n, and it can be changed by binding script-message netease-download
After adjusting sub-delay in mpv, this offsets the timestamps in the current subtitle file accordingly. It then resets sub-delay and reloads the subtitle track so you can offset it again if necessary. This works with any external subtitle and not just LRC. ffmpeg needs to be in PATH for this to work.
The default keybinding is Ctrl+o, and it can be changed by binding script-message offset-sub
This POSIX script creates the skeleton of a new LRC file by fetching the metadata of the song playing in mpv and your nickname from the first argument to it, and opens it in $EDITOR. It also opens $BROWSER, falling back to chromium if that is not defined, pointing it to a page to copy the lyrics from as determined from the top DuckDuckGo search result. If xclip or wl-copy are installed, it copies the search query to the clipboard, so that when the top result isn't good, you can paste the query in your browser and browse more search results, possibly in a different search engine. When it detects Japanese characters in the song path, it searches for lyrics in Japanese.
If the current song already has an LRC file, it doesn't overwrite it, but opens it in $EDITOR so you can quickly fix mistakes you notice while listening to the song.
input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpv-socket is assumed for the mpv instance that plays music, and jq and socat are required.
This provides the following keybindings:
F7 Prepend the current timestamp of a song to the current line.F8 Seek backwards 2 seconds.F6 Insert a timestamp equals to the one above minus 1/100th of a second in a blank line that is 2 lines above. When you have to synchronize a blank line between 2 lines with little delay between them, synchronize only the next filled line and use this.It also increases scrolloff to keep the cursor in the center as you synchronize the lines.
To use this, add autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPost *.lrc setfiletype lrc to your configuration file, then copy lrc.vim to ~/.config/nvim/ftplugin or ~/.vimrc/ftplugin.
I recommend https://github.com/vim-scripts/lrc.vim for syntax highlighting. It errors because of carriage returns, but you can remove them with sed -i 's/\r//' lrc.vim
If you use X11 with Nvidia proprietary drivers or Wayland, you can display lyrics in a transparent overlay with --background=0/0 --alpha --ontop.
ffmpeg doesn't detect LRC files if [id:...] is the first line. id tags can be removed with sed -i '/\[id:/d' *.lrc
ffmpeg doesn't detect LRC files encoded in UTF-16. They can be converted to UTF-8 with:
for lrc in *.lrc; do if file $lrc | grep -q UTF-16; then iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 $lrc -o $lrc; fi; done
ffmpeg doesn't detect LRC files missing the milliseconds. You can add them with sed -i '/\[[0-9]/s/]/.00]/' foo.lrc
ffmpeg also splits lines like [01:00.00][02:00.00]foo which mpv shows only the first time, and removes blank lines and Windows carriage returns.
