[PATCH] LyricWiki plugin revivification
Last modified: 2010-09-15 17:47:41 UTC
Created attachment 170087 [details] [review] LyricWiki plugin patch I fixed the LyricWiki plugin. LyricWiki is a good lyrics resource. Please include it to the mainstream.
Unfortunately we can't do that. Abusing the site like this is only going to make it worse for everyone.
What's wrong with this site? Lyrics fetched via API. It is legal. So, other famous opensource player use this lyrics resource and there is no problems.
The lyricwiki FAQ (http://lyrics.wikia.com/Help:FAQ) states that they can't provide an API that returns full lyrics. If we abuse other features of their site to do this, they'll either blacklist by user agent or break the site in some other way. It may be legal, but it's not ethical.
Ok. I think you need to remove LyricWikiParser.py from rhythmbox source tree to avoid misleading
If anyone interested I published plugin on gnomfiles.org: http://gnomefiles.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=132647
