Summary

Support for synced lyrics on YouTube Music and other yt-dlp tracks.
Until now, synced (auto-scrolling, timestamped) lyrics only worked for local files and Navidrome. YouTube/yt-dlp tracks were always forced into manual scroll mode ; even though timestamped LRC was already being fetched from LRCLIB/NetEase. The exclusion relied on a stale comment claiming yt-dlp streams report position 0; in reality, position has been tracked from decoded PCM frames since from March.
This PR lets yt-dlp tracks with a known duration use synced lyrics: the active line auto-scrolls and highlights in time with playback, including after seeking. Streams without a finite duration (e.xx. YouTube Live) stay in scroll mode, since their position isn't song-relative.

This was confirmed to be working using yt-dlp version: 2026.07.04
ffmpeg: "8.1.2 "

This is the same pull request as : #289 The only difference is that this only contains the changes regarding lyrics alone.

How to test

  1. make build && ./cliamp "https://soundcloud.com/j-cole/power-trip-feat-miguel-1?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing"
  2. Press y to open lyrics and confirm the active line auto-scrolls and highlights in time with the song.
  3. Seek forward mid-track and confirm the highlighted line follows the new position.

Checklist

  • make check passes
  • docs/ and site/index.html updated for user-facing changes

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change synchronizes gapless pipeline swaps under the speaker lock, defers retired-pipeline cleanup, adds a race regression test, and expands synced lyrics support for finite-duration yt-dlp tracks.

Changes

Gapless playback synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Synchronous gapless swap and regression coverage
player/gapless.go, player/player.go, player/gapless_test.go
Gapless swaps now update pipeline state synchronously under the speaker lock. Retired pipelines close asynchronously. The regression test covers repeated transitions and premature closure.

Lyrics synchronization rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider syncability and scrolling documentation
ui/model/lyrics.go, ui/model/lyrics_test.go, docs/lyrics.md
Finite-duration yt-dlp tracks can use synced lyrics. Live and durationless streams remain unsyncable. Tests and documentation describe the supported cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ea1d8

During gapless playback, a race can leave track metadata and decoder state out of sync, potentially causing incorrect transitions or playback failure. The synchronization issue should be fixed before this PR is merged.

blocking the onSwap callback with a channel, running gapless.Stream in a

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Commit the stream and pipeline state in one speaker-locked transaction.

At Line 121, gaplessSwap promotes p.nextPipeline. In preloadPipeline, the code releases the speaker lock after p.gapless.SetNext(tp.stream) but before it stores tp in p.nextPipeline at Line 268.

A gapless transition in this window promotes stale metadata. The later preload then stores the active pipeline as p.nextPipeline. The next preload can close that active decoder as its retired next pipeline.

Hold p.mu while the speaker lock is retained. Update both the gapless stream and p.nextPipeline before either lock is released. Apply the same ordering to other source-and-pipeline replacement paths.

Proposed fix
 func (p *Player) preloadPipeline(tp *trackPipeline) error {
-	speaker.Lock()
-	p.gapless.SetNext(tp.stream)
-	speaker.Unlock()
-
 	p.mu.Lock()
+	speaker.Lock()
 	old := p.nextPipeline
+	p.gapless.SetNext(tp.stream)
 	p.nextPipeline = tp
+	speaker.Unlock()
 	p.mu.Unlock()
 
 	if old != nil {
