filveith/betterdiscord-spotify-lyrics-status

Plugin for better-discord. It changes your status to the lyrics of the song you are currently listening on spotify

BetterDiscord-Spotify-Lyrics-Status ❗❗❗ DEPRECATED ❗❗❗

Sadly this plugin is now deprecated because the api used is not being maintained anymore. A fix would be to directly scrape the lyrics from spotify, but this solution would require additional programs to be downloaded.

Thanks to everyone that used the plugin, we had fun maintaining it !

❗ MUST HAVE SPOTIFY CONNECTED TO DISCORD ❗

Plugin for BetterDiscord.

This plugin synchronizes your Discord status message with the lyrics of the song you are currently listening to on Spotify in real time kinda like a karaoke.

❗ The music database is not the same as Spotify so some music may not have lyrics ❗

Find a better lyrics provider

We are currently using api.textyl.co to get the lyrics, with time-stamp, of the song we are currently listening to on spotify.

There are some pros and cons with this API :

Pros :

• it's free !
• the lyrics are time-stamped (very important to show the correct lyrics at the right moment)
• the only one available with these two criteria (and that also contains new songs)

Cons :

• it's not rare that the api is offline for some hours or even days
• a lot of songs have no lyrics available
• still not succeeded to contact the supposedly owner of the API

---

To conclude we need an API that is free, has time-stamped lyrics and is updated with new songs

So if you know an API that meets these criteria let us know in this issue ;)

Discord crashes upon starting the plugin

console error:
PATCH https://discord.com/api/v9/users/@me/settings 400

Plugin crashes when the song title is in Japanese

Question

MusixMatch, the thing Spotify uses, has it's own API that I'm pretty sure can do the same thing. Why do you not use it, is it more difficult, or is there some roadblock?

Plugin does not update the status anymore.

Tried with multiple songs, which have worked before. Reinstall betterdiscord and the plugin, restarted and reloaded discord (obviously) and the plugin does not work. If I change my status to something and then play a song it removes my status at all, but does not update it with lyrics.

Better Discord crashes when lyrics is displayed

I have to disable the plugin to use Spotify and discord at the same time because better discord keeps crashing when I start playing a song that has lyrics available to change the status

Plugin broke after new update

i don't mean to rush or anything and just wanted to know if there's an ETA on when the plugin will be fixed or you dropped support..

Auto Update plugin

Update readMe

• Add a list of song example that work, to verify if the plugin is working or not
• Add images of the settings and how to personalise your status and lyrics

censoring

a way to disable/enable censoring would be great- or maybe using musixmatch for the lyrics?

The plugin doesn't seem to work

I have music on, and spotify connected to my discord account but it doesn't seem to work at all.

Not every sont that has lyrics shot on status

I tried to play rickroll and it works but when i try to play my own music it doesn't display anything

Sometimes discord needs to be reloaded for the plugin to work

Sometimes when I boot my computer and start discord, the plugin doesn't work, and I need to reload discord (ctrl + R) to make the plugin work

Discord crashes when I play music

Hi,

Love this plugin. But I think after the recent discord update, every time I play a song on spotify it crashes my discord when I have this plugin enabled. Previously, it only used to be certain languages like Russian but now it appears to be all the songs after the update.

Edit: Even when I do not play music, it crashes my discord

Once again, fantastic job.
Yours faithfully,
Arya

Settings not being applied instantly after saving

Could not interpret "{}" as string.

Hey I love this plugin because at a moment it worked and it was really cool but now it show some toasts again saying "Could not interpret "{}" as string." with the same songs :/
Do you have an idea of what can cause this ?

Settings are undefined after update

This happens when the plugin is update, setting all the parameters to undefined

But JSON file is good :

Dont Work, Auth Error

Please help
