Today iTSfv suddenly stopped fetching lyrics like it used to. It's
the only box I have checked and I have it set to override lyrics with
a 0 character minimum.
iTSfv also frequently crashes while importing lyrics, most of the time
I can't even finish one album before it crashes.
Help?

I am also seeing a problem with iTSfv fetching lyrics.
lyricwiki.org is up, I can access it through a browser, but when I
look in the iTSfv warning log I see the following message:

2009-03-02T17:14:12 The request failed with HTTP status 502: Bad
Gateway.

When I try to get lyrics.
Rgds,
Peter.

I got the same results with another lyric program, iLyrics or
whatever.
Has the lyricwiki site itself changed the location of some essential
file iTSfv and this program must access for the lyrics? I think,
considering it's a problem with several programs, it must be a problem
taking place on the lyricwiki side of things.

I am also having the 502 Bad Gateway problem with iLyrics. iTSfv
doesn't retrieve and lyrics for even one file.

I have emailed the head admin of LyricWiki asking him if they have
changed anything important recently about their site. I explained the
situation to him and expect a reply sometime soon. If they did change
something about their site (which the gateway errors on both programs
lead me to believe they did) we'd have to wait for the developers to
update their programs accordingly, I think.

Stormbreaker, thanks for emailing the admin at LyricWiki. After your first message here, I did performed an API Update (this is a setting in Visual Studio 2008 which fetches the latest LyricWiki API) but didn't notice any changes. So I am curious to see what they have to say.

"There was an error on one of our servers and it appears to be fixed
now. All applications using the webservice should now work and don't
need to make any changes.

Thanks for checking,
- Sean"

Sounds easy enough, now to check it.

Success, the problem is fixed... whatever it was.
