I just upgraded to Amarok 2.4.3 on my Ubuntu 11.04 box using the ppa by philip5. I'm using an external MySQL database which is finally working in 2.4.3 as I couldn't get it to connect to the db in earlier releases (a reported problem from what I saw). I've got the following issues that I can't seem to get working. Not sure if I just haven't configured things correctly or what.
1. I can't seem to get the lyrics plugin to work. It just shows a "Fetch Error". 2. The wikipedia artist info isn't working either. I just get "Wikipedia: unable to retrieve wikipedia information http://en.wikipedia.org"; 3. Because of the two problems above I went to "configure amarok" and clicked on Scripts. The only items selected at this time are Lyricwiki, Cool Streams and Librivox.org. If I click on Manage Scripts I get an empty dialogue box and an error at the bottom "loading of providers from file: http://download.kde.org/providers.xml failed. I can browse to the file just fine. 4. I also can't get the Cover Manager to find any covers for the albums that don't have covers at this time. I will go through fetching the covers, but everything is reported as "failed." 5. I have some playlists in M3U format. How can I import them? I've tried adding the playlist directory to the amarok library and it finds the m3u, but if I update the tag of the file, rating for example, the track in amarok does not recognize the change. I don't really want to go through and completely recreate all the playlists. I've done some Google searches and that has not provided any working solutions to the above problems. I'm hoping someone else has seen these problems and knows of a fix or a change to my configuration I need to supply. Thank you for your help.
