[2024.04] Lyrics API stopped working

[raitonoberu]

Well, it wasn't hard to expect, Spotify got a change on the server (over 2 years btw!) that broke our lyrics scraping. I'm currently looking into the problem, and thankfully it seems easily fixable.

But I'm very busy these days, so expect changes in the range of a day to a couple weeks.

Thanks for staying here ❤️

I spent an hour trying to figure out why the same query works in curl and doesn't in Go. Turns out Spotify servers deny requests with Go's default user agent, but not curl's :)

If you are using lyricsapi as your lyrics provider (player in config is not set to spotify & cookie is empty), this should already work. If you're using your own cookie, you'll have to wait until I complete #44 because putting it off is no longer acceptable.

Maybe its a good idea if you could add the user-agent to this repo too, as a temporary fix, like you did here: raitonoberu/lyricsapi@659da1d

v1.2.2 should fix this completely. I've only tested it briefly, so please report any problems!
