Public bug reported: With either rhythmbox-plugins-3.0.2-0ubuntu2 (Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon) or rhythmbox-plugins-3.3-1ubuntu7 (Linux Mint 18.2 XFCE) when the "Song Lyrics" plugin is enabled and the following are checked, lyrics are never displayed: * WinampCN (www.winampcn.com) * Dark Lyrics (darklyrics.com) * Jetlyrics (jetlyrics.com) * I didn't use the other two since I speak only English
Looking at the code in '/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/lyrics/' and experimenting with the queries suggests that the remote web sites have changed. For example, 'JetlyricsParser.py' has: * q = title + ' - ' + artist * url = 'http://www.jetlyrics.com/search.php?q=%s' % (q) But http://www.jetlyrics.com/search.php?q=acdc-hells+bells is 404, while doing it manually from http://www.jetlyrics.com/ yields http://lyrics.jetmute.com/search.php?q=acdc+hells+bells&search=Search with some results. Likewise DarkLyricsParser.py has: * url = 'http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/%s/%s.html' % (best_match.artist, best_match.album) But http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/acdc/hells+bells.html returns a 404/search page and the search "acdc hells bells" from that page is null but manually working through the form you can get https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/acdc/hellsbells.html. In those examples both the base web site and search strings have changed, rendering the plugin code out of date. Also, CTRL-L no longer works in either Mint 17's RB 3.0.2 or Mint 18's 3.0.0, but "View > Song Lyrics" works. ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756597 Title: Rhythmbox plugin "Song Lyrics" not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1756597/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
