Description:
Amarok does not fetch artist information from Wikipedia.
This issue is due to the recent change in Wikipedia page layout.

See bug reports
at Ubuntu Launchpad
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/316140/
and Gentoo
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256389
for details.

They also provide fixes and patches.

This problem is known upstream, but, for some reason,
they do not plan to release any more amarok-1.4.x
versions so we should take our own measures to correct this bug.


Additional info:
amarok-1.4.x

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Amarok 1.4
2. Select a track by an artist with a Wikipedia page and begin to play it
3. Switch to the "Context" tab, then the artist tab




This task depends upon

Is there a link to an upstream bug report too?

A patch has been applied upstream (http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php?topic=12523.15), but no further amarok 1.4 release is planned (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/316140/comments/10), so I guess we have to patch the sources ouserlves in the pkgbuild.

Context browsing is possible when rebuilding amarok 1.4 with the attached PKGBUILD and wikipedia.patch
   PKGBUILD (2.1 KiB)
   wikipedia.patch (0.6 KiB)

I agree with Jean-Christophe Imbert (Bobyl)
