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.
