Embedded Lyrics broken in newer version of Kodi

If the lyrics is in LRC file Kodi is rendering it properly, however if I embed the lyrics inside the audio using either ‘SYNCHEDLYRICS’ or ‘UNSYNCHEDLYRICS’ tag kodi is not rendering the lyrics properly.

Kodi is able to pull the embedded lyrics, but it is showing the ‘time tag’ e.g [00:27.42] in front of the lyrics and not scrolling with the time. It behaves as if itsn’t recognizing the LRC tag.

I tried to go back couple of versions and the issue seems to be present in the final release of Jarvis till the current version ( I checked the latest nightly as of Dec 9th). This was working in the beta release of Jarvis, so I don’t know when it broke.
