Video subtitles as lyrics

Some videos may have external subtitles (closed captions). In context of audio listening these subtitles can be used as the timestamped lyrics. But need to keep in mind that subtitles do not always contain lyrics for the original song - they may also be a translation to other language.

Component contains custom lyrics source for Lyric Show Panel 3 (foo_uie_lyric3 component). This way subtitles can be used as lyrics. To enable this add Youtube Source lyrics source to the list of active sources in Lyric Show Panel 3 preferences.

This lyrics source has its own properties window that can be accessed using Properties button below active lyrics sources list (Youtube Source should be in that list and be selected at this moment). Using properties window can be configured timeout values and what subtitles to load.

Lyric Show Panel 3 provides a way for the lyrics sources to specify lyrics quality. Component always reports regular subtitles as having Medium quality. For auto-generated and auto-translated subtitles it reports Bad quality.
