(Synced Lyrics) Does track length affect the insertion of synchronized Lyrics?

[Dzheremi2]

Does anyone know, if track length affects the insertion of synchronized Lyrics?

[ArjixWasTaken]

yes it does

The code picks the lyrics result that is closest to the track's duration.
https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music/blob/master/src/plugins/synced-lyrics/renderer/lyrics/fetch.ts#L139-L152

If the difference from the closest result to the track's duration is more than 15 seconds it doesn't insert lyrics
https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music/blob/master/src/plugins/synced-lyrics/renderer/lyrics/fetch.ts#L156

if the difference is more than 5, but less than 15, it shows a warning that the timings may not be accurate

I should also mention that the results are filtered based on how similar the artist's name is to the artist of the track.

If anyone has a better algorithm to propose, please make an issue

Don't know about 'better', but I really wish there would be a manual override, where I can enter a search phrase - this can be especially useful with Videos, and with non-english language songs.

Manually selecting the lyrics sounds great, but I would consider that as a different feature.

I do have plans for that when I am done introducing multiple lyric sources.
