How do I fetch lyrics using Amarok?
 
I installed it a few days ago and I read quite a lot about this, but I have no idea how to use those scripts... I have found here 3 scripts, but I can't figure out how to use them. Can anyone help me, please? Thank you.

Go to tools -> script manager. look in the lyrics folder. There should be a script in there called "Lyrc". select it and hit the run button.

Where are the lyrics?
 
Oka... and how do I get to see the lyrics? They say it should be a "lyrics" tab somewhere, but I don't see it...

Start playing a song. click the "context" tab on the left side, select the lyrics tab.

Oka... I finally found it but all I see there is "Fetching lyrics...". So I have 2 questions: does it need a specific port in the firewall? Because I can use only 8080 through a proxy. If it can use 8080, how do I set it to get through the proxy? Thank you.

Edit: After a while I get this error: "Lyrics could not be retrieved because the server was not reachable."

The Lyrc script takes the proxy settings from the KDE settings. If you are using KDE, you can change this by doing this:
  1. Open System Settings (from the K menu)
  2. Select "Network Settings"
  3. Select "Proxy"
  4. Select "Manually specify the proxy settings", and click the "Setup..." button.
  5. Configure for your proxy server

Thanks
 
I got it to work, finally and it works pretty well... I was used to some plugin for Winamp until I completely switched to FC6 like a week ago...
For anyone who's gonna read this, if you're using gnome, you have to run from command line "kcontrol" and set the proxy there...
Thank you again.
