wikipedia tab shows only languages block

[Evgeny Remizov]

It seems if the information is only available in English wiki, the error doesn't appear. The problem appeared not so long ago (few days at most) - maybe wikipedia changed page layout so that parser is not able to parse it no more?

I'm using Amarok 1.4.10 from Intrepid with all the updates.

I'm attaching a screenshot (l10n is russian, if it matters somehow).

I confirm that problem. I use gutsy,amarok 1.4.7 kde 3.5.8.
Clicking through the offered languages brings a reproducable result for a certain song/album/artist and language. (i.e Simply Red - Picture book in Italian (Album Page), in Russki (Artist Page). Smashing Pumpkins in Norsk/Nederlands (Artist Page)).
Lyric script is working, and the links as shown in the back and forward arrows bring the expected results if entered in fire fox.

Using archive.org, one thing in the html source seems to have changed. Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_(band):
2007: <h1 class="firstHeading">Kent (band)</h1>
2009 (now): <h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading">Kent (band)</h1>

In other words, there is now an id="firstHeading" in the text that Amarok problably parses.

Thanks to Helge's suggestion, I was able to get the artist tab working again by modifying line 4192 of contextbrowser.cpp in the 1.4.10 source and then recompiling.

from: m_wiki = m_wiki.mid( m_wiki.find( "<h1 class=\"firstHeading\">" ) );
to: m_wiki = m_wiki.mid( m_wiki.find( "<h1 id=\"firstHeading\" class=\"firstHeading\">" ) );

Wonderful!

Helge/WarwickH,

A big thanks to you both! I submitted this bug to Gentoo's Bugzilla (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256389), and the change you suggested works there as well. I noticed the bug this morning and was concerned about the lack of support by the KDE Amarok team for the (in my opinion vastly superior) Amarok 1.4.X line, glad to see the community came up with a quick fix.

download from here

Amarok 1.4.10 here http://janitux.boaboa.org/etc/amarok_1.4.10-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Bye

[Helge Stenström (h-stenstrom)]

AFP_SCH: it works for me now. Thank you!

But the package version is the same as I had before from the official repository, and Synaptic is slightly confused. When I list packages by origin, Amarok isn't in Local/main, as expected, but in se.archive.ubuntu.com/main. Furthermore its is markes as if an upgrade is available, and that upgrade is the version from the official repository. So an upgrade would remove your bugfix.

I hope to see the bugfix in the official repository soon.

[WarwickH (warwickha-deactivatedaccount)]

I have modified the file again to simplify the change and reduce the chance of compatibility problems with other pages.

My contextbrowser.cpp now contains at line 4192

from: m_wiki = m_wiki.mid( m_wiki.find( "<h1 class=\"firstHeading\">" ) );
to: m_wiki = m_wiki.mid( m_wiki.find( "<h1 id=\"firstHeading\"" ) );

Hi, (upstream Amarok here)

we have applied your patch upstream and I informed our packagers about the fix. If they apply it is up to them now. Another release of the 1.4 series is not planned.

Thanks for the fix :)

[Mihkel Tõnnov (v6lur)]

Actually, I found it's even better to change the offending line to just
m_wiki = m_wiki.mid( m_wiki.find( "<h1 " ) );
This way it matches also these remaining Wikipedia pages, that still have only class="firstHeading" (don't remember the titles, but I came accross a few) - and "<h1 " only occurs once in Wikipedia pages' source anyway.
Secondly, after
m_wiki.replace( QRegExp("<h3 id=\"siteSub\">[^<]*</h3>"), QString::null );
I inserted the following line:
m_wiki.replace( QRegExp("<div id=\"jump-to-nav\">Jump to: <a href=\"#column-one\">navigation</a>, <a href=\"#searchInput\">search</a></div>"), QString::null );
This way, Amarok won't show the pointless (non-functioning) "Jump to: navigation, search" text just below page titles.

fix works great! This fix needs to appear in update manager. Unfortunately amarok 2 is not yet better than 1.4

[Helge Stenström (h-stenstrom)]

I found a discussion on the Amarok forum. Apparently, they have a fix in SVN.

Anyone to do an amd64 compilation?

[max (maxozilla)]

When will this update appear in ubuntu updates? Installing the fixed .deb linked to above causes a conflict with the current amarok package.

In the meantime, for a quick fix, copy and overwrite the attached libamarok.so.0.0.0 to /usr/lib/

[skunkarific (o-sales-skunkarific-com)]

I tried the deb, it was for kde 4, I tried the libamrarok.so.0.0.0. All kinds of failure. The two lines of code just need to be written into the package and released...

[koshari (holto2go)]

ubuntu 8.04, just updated to 1.4.9.1 and artist lookup tab is broken, wont load artist and defaults to choice of 3 languages.
apparent known bug
it is fixed in that svn branch, and patches have supposively been sent to the packagers at many distros. i thought todays update would have contained it :-(

[alexdd (alexdd)]

Please help!

kubuntu 8.04.3, amarok 1.4.9.1.
the fix in post #16 by max does NOT work,
the .deb in post #7 gives "ERROR: Dependency is not satisfiable: amarok-common" ... couldnt find "amarok-common" for hardy..

what shall i do?

[skunkarific (o-sales-skunkarific-com)]

Hi! I fixed it by upgrading. I'm not an ubuntu user, my PCLinuxOS
kicked ubuntu's butt, root access, rpms...love it. I had hardy,
upgraded to pclos, no problems now!

Well, not knowing that there existed some patches, I made my own.

The "fix released" seems to be for amarok 2, AFAIUI. The patch attached to this is meant to be used with Amarok 1.4.

It is based on my discoveries and incorporates some suggestions from people here. Oh, and providing a binary-only package doesn't really help us who run other architectures.
