feat(plugins): add lyrics provider plugin capability (#5126)
* feat(plugins): add lyrics provider plugin capability

Refactor the lyrics system from a static function to an interface-based
service that supports WASM plugin providers. Plugins listed in the
LyricsPriority config (alongside "embedded" and file extensions) are
now resolved through the plugin system.

Includes capability definition, Go/Rust PDK, adapter, Wire integration,
and tests for plugin fallback behavior.

* test(plugins): add lyrics capability integration test with test plugin

* fix(plugins): default lyrics language to 'xxx' when plugin omits it

Per the OpenSubsonic spec, the server must return 'und' or 'xxx' when
the lyrics language is unknown. The lyrics plugin adapter was passing
an empty string through when a plugin didn't provide a language value.
This defaults the language to 'xxx', consistent with all other callers
of model.ToLyrics() in the codebase.

* refactor(plugins): rename lyrics import to improve clarity

Navidrome Plugin Capabilities

This directory contains the Go interface definitions for Navidrome plugin capabilities. These interfaces are the source of truth for plugin development and are used to generate:

  1. Go PDK packages (pdk/go/*/) - Type-safe wrappers for Go plugin developers
  2. Rust PDK crates (pdk/rust/*/) - Type-safe wrappers for Rust plugin developers
  3. XTP YAML schemas (*.yaml) - Schema files for other Extism plugin languages (TypeScript, Python, C#, Zig, C++, ...)

For Go Plugin Developers

Go developers should use the generated PDK packages in plugins/pdk/go/. See the example Go plugins in plugins/examples/ for usage patterns.

For Rust Plugin Developers

Rust developers should use the generated PDK crate in plugins/pdk/rust/nd-pdk. See the example Rust plugins in plugins/examples for usage patterns.

For Non-Go Plugin Developers

If you're developing plugins in other languages (TypeScript, Rust, Python, C#, Zig, C++), you can use the XTP CLI to generate type-safe bindings from the YAML schema files in this directory.

Prerequisites

Install the XTP CLI:

# macOS
brew install dylibso/tap/xtp

# Other platforms - see https://docs.xtp.dylibso.com/docs/cli
curl https://static.dylibso.com/cli/install.sh | bash

Generating Plugin Scaffolding

Use the XTP CLI to generate plugin boilerplate from any capability schema:

# TypeScript
xtp plugin init --schema-file plugins/capabilities/metadata_agent.yaml \
    --template typescript --path my-plugin

# Rust
xtp plugin init --schema-file plugins/capabilities/scrobbler.yaml \
    --template rust --path my-plugin

# Python
xtp plugin init --schema-file plugins/capabilities/lifecycle.yaml \
    --template python --path my-plugin

# C#
xtp plugin init --schema-file plugins/capabilities/scheduler_callback.yaml \
    --template csharp --path my-plugin

# Go (alternative to using the PDK packages)
xtp plugin init --schema-file plugins/capabilities/websocket_callback.yaml \
    --template go --path my-plugin

Available Capabilities

Capability Schema File Description
Metadata Agent metadata_agent.yaml Fetch artist biographies, album images, and similar artists
Scrobbler scrobbler.yaml Report listening activity to external services
Lifecycle lifecycle.yaml Plugin initialization callbacks
Scheduler Callback scheduler_callback.yaml Scheduled task execution
WebSocket Callback websocket_callback.yaml Real-time WebSocket message handling

Building Your Plugin

After generating the scaffolding, implement the required functions and build your plugin as a WebAssembly module. The exact build process depends on your chosen language - see the Extism PDK documentation for language-specific guides.

XTP Schema Generation

The YAML schemas in this package are automatically generated from the capability Go interfaces using ndpgen. To regenerate the schemas after modifying the interfaces, run:

cd plugins/cmd/ndpgen && go run . -schemas -input=./plugins/capabilities
