Did you install the Genius Lyrics Addon?

Lyrics search error

by shduff » Fri Apr 25, 2025 9:04 am

For the past few days, Lyrics Search keeps adding this

<div data-exclude-from-selection="true" class="LyricsHeader__Container-sc-3eaf69e8-1 hvOEKL

If delete manually and re-try a few times, sometimes it completes as expected.

Anyone else seeing this occur?

Thanks!

Hi,
We are not Authors of the addon please ask developer for update of the plugin.

I was not aware of this thread, so thank you for moving my post here (whoever did it), and also thanks to @Ikraus.
Yes, I also have version 1.0.2 and there is no update available.
Putting "Genius" to the end does help for the time being but I'd love to see this resolved as Genius seems to have the best selection of lyrics, both in quantity and quality.

The issue is supposedly "Resolved" with version 1.0.3 of the script: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=20058.

Checking my addons, I'm still on v1.0.2, and "Check for updates" is still not finding the newer version.
Neither can I find v1.0.3 on the web site: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... -lookup-1/

I edited my list of sources to move Genius from the first source to the last, so my lyrics are usually found elsewhere and I no longer have problems with truncated lyrics.

Check your Sources list at Tools>Options>Library\Metadata Lookup

Lyric Search (Genius?) Gives Uncomplete Results

by Snofru » Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:26 am

I go into the song properties and search for the lyrics. The very 1st result (I think it stems from Genius) most of the time gives unusable results. The text seems to stop at a certain letter or sign as shown in the attached screenshot.
If I search further on I most of the time get the correct results from another source. Sometimes if nothing can be found I get the text from the last song I have searched before (!, that's probably another issue).

I had this with all the songs from the current Beatles Red and Blue Album and also with many (all?) Pink Floyd. Probably this happens whenever there is a song text found on Genius and unfortunately Genius is the 1st in the list so I always have to search at least twice for each song.

I have the same issue with the "LyricSource Genius 1.0.2" addon.
The problem is possibly a div element in the genius html which displays "You might also like ...", and this html element is rendered between the lyrics.

The script code of the addon can't deal with this.
Is there anyone who will fix this in a new version of the addon?

Thanks

Have you made sure the Genius Lyrics Addon (Tools > Addons) is up-to-date?

Thanks, don't know why I could not find that.
My list was: Genius; ELyrics; Lyrics Mode; MusInfo; Chart Lyrics; Song Lyrics; Lyrics Translate; Moron.nl; Absolute Lyrics

Under Edit > Properties on the Lyrics tab you can manually do Lyrics lookup. Can you keep doing this till you get the bad Lyrics again and monitor which source it came from?
It seems that Genius was the source producing the truncated lyrics. I moved it to the end of the list and the initial lookup from ELyrics was complete, as were the results from other sources until I got to Genius, and again they were truncated.
Are you sure MediaMonkey 5.0.4 did the lookup of those Lyrics? I don't see this happening.
Quite sure, these songs were added only moments before I tagged them.

I changed the source list to use ONLY Genius and tried looking up lyrics for other songs (which already had the full lyrics) and found that I got no lyrics at all, just results like this:

Code: Select all

[Verse 1]
<a href="/6344210/Bob-dylan-lay-lady-lay/Lay-lady-lay" class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__ClickTarget-sc-110r0d9-0 hYSBRZ
or

Code: Select all

<a href="/4201915/James-taylor-soldiers/It-was-just-after-sunrise-and-down-by-the-sea-down-on-the-sand-flats-where-nothing-will-grow-come-drumming-and-footsteps-like-out-of-a-dream-where-the-golden-green-waters-come-in" class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__ClickTarget-sc-110r0d9-0 hYSBRZ
I think I'll just leave Genius off my source list.

Thanks.
