Hello @bugzero, since yesterday the plugin doesn't work anymore.

 ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/2/1/21adfa97613d0e16fc1d7838a6a22b575e00b243.png)

I tried multiple titles and tried it on Windows 10, but it's always the same.

[genius.com](http://genius.com) is accessible through the web browser (firefox 153.2.0esr). The links generated by the plugin ([https://genius.com/Rammstein-reise-reise-lyrics](https://genius.com/Rammstein-reise-reise-lyrics) in this case) are also accessible.

Could you please look into it? Thank you!

Edit: Nevermind, I was able to fix it with an LLM. The issue was that Genius swapped the attribute order in their `<meta>` tags. The script's regex expects `content="..."` to come **before** `property="og:..."`. Genius reversed the order (`property` first, `content` second) at some point. And since that first regex never matches, `<cover:start>` never gets inserted, `findinline` fails, and I get `<Error>`.

Just added these lines under the `Search optional tags` comment inside `Genius#Lyrics.inc`:

```auto
regexpreplace "<meta\s*property=\"og:image\"\s+content=\"([^\"]+?)\"\s*\/>" "<cover:start>$1<cover:end>"
regexpreplace "<meta\s*property=\"og:title\"\s+content=\"([^\"]+?)\"\s*\/>" "<title:start>$1<title:end>"
regexpreplace "<meta\s*property=\"og:url\"\s+content=\"([^\"]+?)\"\s*\/>" "<url:start>$1<url:end>"

```

I'd like to upload the file directly, but this platform doesn't let me upload it, telling me:

> Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized (authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, src, mte, mta, log, dmp, zip, rar, pdf, txt, rtf, mov, mp4).
