Lyrics: showing and searching

[bkh85570]

My library has on most of the songs synced lyrics. They were saved in the same directory as the song.
When a song starts the lyrics will be found and displayed. After a few seconds, maybe 30, the displayed lyrics changes to "Search complete No Lyrics were found". Crazy

What have i done wrong in the config?
What information do you need to help me?

Hi @bkh85570,

if you want to load the lyrics from the same directory as the album, you need to set it up in your config file and ESLyirc component.
I don't know what Georgia-ReBORN version you are using, but it would be the best to download the latest DEV version from here:

Please follow this instructions from here:

Everything you need to know about custom lyric directory usage is explained in that thread.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Formerly i used the "Georgia-ReBORN_v3.0-RC2.zip" and pasted the files with the new.
I think the main thing, was the new line in in the "lyricsFilenamePatterns" section:
Line 785: "%filename%".

Now it works well.

After a view months a small question:

are there differences between the master.zip over here and this on in

i think so, because the searching shows the same handling as before i changed ist

There is no difference, you just need to apply the custom directory as you did before.
When you downloaded the master.zip and replaced ALL your files, you need to re-apply the custom directory in your settings again.
Because it will also replace your config files, i.e your settings will be overwritten with the default ones.

To not always re-apply this, you first set it up and AFTER configuration make a new theme backup.
When making a new theme backup, it will save your current settings including those of the config files.
Then when downloading the master.zip ( DEV version ) and replacing your files, restore the new theme backup.

Here is how to do it:

1. Make a theme backup via Options > Settings > Theme backup > Make backup.
2. Now create a new portable foobar install and install the latest DEV master version from here:
   https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
3. After you have downloaded and installed the theme, copy from your old foobar your theme backup folder:
   foobar2000_old\profile\backup
   to your new:
   foobar2000\profile\backup
4. Now restore your theme backup via Options > Settings > Theme backup > Restore backup
