<p>I was discussing about this with Heiko. Maybe QtScript could be replaced with QJSEngine, similar to how the following patch for another project attempts to do it?</p>

<p>I see your point about removing features. But I've taken a look at the most popular scripts on opendesktop.org and they all rely on Qt bindings. Unless there is some way to restore bindings support this feature is broken and people will complain anyway.<br />
About replacing QtScript with QJSEngine: I think it's quite possible to do so, but I have my doubts if the development and maintenance work is worth it given our limited manpower.<br />
Anyway, I'll open a new revision just with the patch that implements the lyrics functionality in C++.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R181 Amarok</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D11862">https://phabricator.kde.org/D11862</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>malteveerman, Amarok<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>markey, Amarok, jackyalcine, nhuisman, paul, yaohanchen, malteveerman, cochise, tbettler, Smar, ricktimmis, asturmlechner, schweingruber, heikobecker<br /></div>
