lyrics stopped working after update to 1.4.3

[Andrew Turner]

Joe,

Amarok has had issues with lyrics scripts and proxies ever since
lyrics fetching was made scriptable. There have been several attempted
fixes, and personally I thought it might be working in 1.4.3. However,
having looked, there has been one more change to the Lyrc script in
SVN.

http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/scripts/lyrics_lyrc/lyrics_lyrc.rb?rev=581318

Try using that to replace the official 1.4.3 Lyrc script, which should
be located at `kde-config
--prefix`/share/apps/amarok/scripts/lyrics_lyrc/lyrics_lyrc.rb

The other thing worth checking is your KDE proxy settings (especially
if you don't run KDE), by running "kcontrol".

If those two still don't work, all I can suggest is you get out
Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) and try to capture the packets to see
what's going wrong.
