1.1.0 - YouTube & CJK Improvements

v1.1.0 - YouTube & CJK Improvements

YouTube/Browser Support

• Added intelligent title parsing for YouTube videos played in browsers
• Detects browser sources (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Opera, Safari, Vivaldi)
• Extracts artist from 【Artist】 brackets at start of title
• Extracts title from 「Title」 and 『Title』 Japanese quotes
• Removes common suffixes: (Official Video), [MV], (Lyrics), × TV Anime..., etc.
• Parses Artist - Title format when no brackets present
• Cleans feat./ft./featuring from artist names
• Lower score threshold (200 vs 800) for browser sources to handle messy titles

CJK Language Support

• Word sync now works for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean lyrics
• Each CJK character gets individual highlighting (character-by-character tokenization)
• Mixed CJK/Latin text handled properly
• NetEase "not found" error messages filtered (纯音乐，请欣赏, etc.)

Performance & Reliability

• Optimized LRCLib fetching: uses lyrics from search response (no extra API calls)
• Reduced results per search from 10 to 5
• Added fetch cancellation when song changes mid-fetch
• Debug logging shows exactly what queries are sent to LRCLib/NetEase
• Shows parsed title/artist transformation for browser sources

Bug Fixes

• Fixed R (reload), X (clear cache), P (plain), C (CJK filter), O (offline) not triggering refetch
• Added ForceRefetch() method for immediate re-fetching
• Fixed duplicate return statement in LRCLib fetcher
• Fixed fancy quote characters causing compile errors (now using unicode escapes)

API Improvements

• LRCLib fallback searches: title+artist → title only → general query
• Progressive lyrics loading still works (first result shown immediately)
• Better cancellation checks between each source

Like Always e_sqlite3.dll is only required if you are planning on using Local LRC database
