LRC

thumbnail

Displays current song lyrics on the bar widget via lrc_tty. Works with MPD and Spotify.

Plugin

Field Value
ID shin/lrc
Entries Bar widget: lrc

Requirements

  • lrc_tty — fetches synchronized lyrics over the network from the configured provider.
  • playerctl — reads MPRIS player status and metadata.

Usage

Enable shin/lrc in Settings → Plugins, then add the LRC bar widget. It displays the current lyric line when a track is playing.

The widget checks MPD first, then falls back to Spotify.

Spawned processes

  • playerctl — enumerates MPRIS players and queries playback status and metadata.
  • lrc_tty — fetches synchronized lyrics and outputs them.

Network access

lrc_tty connects to remote lyric APIs to fetch synchronized lyrics for the currently playing track.
