The manual says it supports "id3v2 SYLT or USLT tags in mp3 files".  Are your files tagged appropriately?

What happens when you start the plugin?

When i start the plugin i see just the progressbar and the song name playing, nothing else...
the files are tagged with id3v2, but don't know how to verify sylt or sylt type...

Yeh lyrics seems to be a weird thing.
For example, I tagged my mp3 files and embedded unsynced lyrics within the files via using mostly Tag&Rename. In Tag&Rename it doesn't give any more info for the lyric section other than a tab saying 'Lyrics'.
I was tinkering around with foobar2000 to see if i could get a txt panel to show just lyrics. At first it wasn't working but upon right clicking an mp3 file in foobar and going to properties I was seeing my lyrics displayed under metadata as being 'UNSYNCED LYRICS'. So changing the settings in the txt panel of foobar from displaying %lyrics% to %UNSYNCED LYRICS% and viola its working beautifully.

My point is different software for tagging is showing different information (sum not enuff info). Clearly in tag&rename the lyric section is UNSYNCED LYRICS as metadata but it doesn't SAY this anywhere within the program, it was only in foobar that I discovered what Tag&Rename was doing.
I too am at a loss as to find out if my lyrics are SYLT or USLT ?? :S What does SYLT and USLT even mean? I'm guessing Synced Lyrics Text and Unsynced Lyric Text.

Either way lrc player plugin crashes on my fuze v2 with rockbox as well :S

The lyrics are possibly too large to be embedded as metadata...?

Have you tried using one of the other formats that LRCplayer supports (.lrc ( or .lrc8 ), .snc, or even .txt)?

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

Do u mean too large for rockbox, as my tagged lyrics are coming up splendid on my ipad2 and foobar2000.
If LRCplayer supports .lrc, .lrc8, .snc and .txt I think i have an option to extract the current lyrics embedded in the file and make a .txt file of the lyrics in the same folder as the mp3 files. This could be done quickly I think, might try that.
