Thanks, I'll try to gradually fill the page with missing/useful information.

Would it be possible to change the backend manually?
I donīt know how that stuff really works in the background though.
I even used to contribute to Lyric Wiki, but I think it has too many missing entries due to some legal issues. For some songs (too many, in my experience) you get only a few lines of text and a takedown notice.
It's impossible to simply change the provider, the support for a service has to be implemented first.

Can you give some example song artists/titles? Maybe you have encountered a bug in OMP? I know it doesn't work in certain cases.

The only things that OMP installs are:
  • "/opt/openmediaplayer/*" with translations and QML files for its prvate use
  • "/usr/bin/openmediaplayer" just the executable, nothing unusual here
  • "/usr/share/doc/openmediaplayer/*" some info about the application
  • "/usr/share/applications/hildon/openmediaplayer.desktop" menu entry
  • "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/openmediaplayer.png" the icon
I don't know how could that break something. Maybe updates for some other stuff got pulled from extras-devel as dependencies?
