Hey all,

Suddenly Amarok will no longer fetch lyrics and simply displays \'Lyrics not found.\'. However if I click on \'Open in external browser\' they pop right up from the site. I\'m getting the same behaviour for every artist I have tried. I was able to get a list of suggestions for one track which listed another, clicking on that link would open the lyric on the panel but if I play that song I\'m back to the \'Lyrics not found.\' again.

Any suggestions for how I can attempt to track down what the issue is would be a great help.

I\'m running Amarok 1.3.7, KDE 3.5 on SuSE 10.0.

Happened to mee too. I think it has more to do with the lyrc site than with amarok, since shortly after I upgraded to 1.3.7 it did work.

Same here , in fact if you change the name of de song a bit you can choose between the options that occur you and it shows the song to you, but if you have the name as it has it in the database no.

My dates:
kde 3.4.3
Amarok 1.3.6, update from 1.2.4
Engine: Xine
Distro: Gentoo GNU/Linux

Greetings and excuse my english, I don\'t speak natively :blush: .

I got some time to look into it. Seems that is exactly what the problem is. Looks like the lyrc.com.ar site slightly changed the HTML layout. I poked into the 1.3.7 source code and came up with the following fix. This is by no means the best solution and is vulnerable to the same issue in the future. I\'ll leave it up to the more experienced devs to address it properly.

Anyways here is a diff for Amarok 1.3.7 that corrected the problem for me, you\'ll notice it was just extra spacing in the font tag.

Ah. Once again I need to look harder.

Thanks.
