Re: [Banshee-List] lyrics plugin (V1.5.5.0) never shows any lyrics

[Arutha <devplace hotmail com>]

I followed the advise of another banshee user. His problem was solved by
setting the correct proxy settings. In my case: I have a direct connection
to internet and no proxy. Setting this correctly in Ubuntu seemed to solve
all my problems (after an update of the lyrics extension to V1.6.0).

Of course, still some songs have no lyrics, but the amount of songs that are
unknown is considerably decreased and probably caused by the fact that the
bands are not well known ;-)
