This release brings some interesting changes to the plugin.
While I'm still calling it a beta and things are subject to change, I think it's actually working pretty well at the moment.

 

An automatic update checker is now included. It hasn't really been fully tested, but hopefully it works fine in the real world (although I'd need to make another release to see if that's actually the case).

 

There's also a change to the 'Force Artist Matching' option which was made in the library I'm using for the lyrics. Now it is a strict the first artist the plugin sees in the string it gets has to be in the database and be listed as an artist for the song.
Previously any artist in the string would be okay to match, so tracks with the same Vocaloid could still be mixed up.
Standard behaviour is still that if an artist in the string is in the database, the first one of these has to match. Otherwise only the title is used. I can't really retrieve the VocaDB artist IDs for multiple artists at the same time without multithreading, so what seems to have worked so far is to iterate through the artists until one matches. This will probably be my next improvement to the library (and by extension the plugin), but development can be expected to slow down now that it all seems good enough.

 

 

And for those still with me, there's a couple of easter eggs hidden in the plugin too (because why not). They're actually very similar (much of the code is shared) and if you find one you'll probably find the other one.
The source code isn't hidden at all, so if you want a challenge you'll wanna find them by poking around (hint: try holding down keys when doing stuff... you'll also need to do something else first though).
If enough people want spoilers I'll probably give them away, but you aren't really missing out on much guys.
