CCLI songselect import broken

kmenzel · July 2016

Not sure if this should be in "troubleshooting" or "development" but CCLI just updated SongSelect (now at songselect.ccli.com). Two changes from this: 1) No more usernames, it's all email addresses now, 2) Open LP can no longer log in to SongSelect for song import.

I have no idea how quickly this could be resolved but I'd imagine it's not an inconsequential thing for some users to lose access to?

I am also experiencing this.

I am having the same problem. We can log in on the new website so it isn't our username or password.

It worked fine Sunday which is why I suspect the change in the website to be the culprit.

Can anyone confirm this is the problem?

It seems CCLI SongSelect has changed the way their website works, which unfortunately breaks the OpenLP integration. We are aware of the issue, and it will be looked into.

Thank you for looking into this, we have the same issue. The most straightforward work around for now is to download the lyrics using the download option on the SongSelect site. Once all the files you want to import are downloaded in OpenLP use File ... Import ... Song ... this starts the Song Import Wizard. Click [Next]; then select Format as CCLI/SongSelect, click Add files and add the file or files you want to import, Click [Next] and then [Finish] and the job is done.

I submitted feedback to CCLI today. Sounds like they're getting a lot of negative feedback on this "update" that seems more like a step backward. It's creating multiple step issues on various elements of their service....

Agreed, thanks for looking into this. The txt file work around is manageable but adds time and is tedious when building services in a hurry. Seems like songselect changed lots with this update! Looking forward to this being fixed.

hi has this issue been resolved yet ,I,m getting pretty fast at copy n pasting but ..........

raoul · August 2016

Have you tried the CCLI USR file import in Import > Songs ?

philworthington · August 2016

Yes, I would like to add this is a problem for me also. We use this feature a lot, so a quick fix would really be appreciated, thank you!

raoul · August 2016

It has already been fixed, and will be in the next release of OpenLP. Please remember that we're all volunteers working in our spare time between family, church and work commitments :-)

philworthington · August 2016

Thanks Raoul, it's very much appreciated. I wish I knew enough about coding to help!

alan · August 2016

Thanks Raoul ,do you know when next release will be .???

raoul · August 2016

I'm afraid not. There's a lot of things going on in the developers' lives at the moment, and we need to find a few minutes when we're all calm enough to put a release together. We'd like to do it fairly soon though, there are a few other fixes we'd like to get out.

No worries ,bless you guys heaps ,God loves His children

witterholt · September 2016

Thanks for letting us know this issue will be fixed in the next (2.6?) version....

raoul · September 2016

We're hoping to release a 2.4.3, but this may only happen in October.

philworthington · October 2016

Hi there, thanks for releasing a new version so quickly - especially considering your international house move! However, the SongSelect import is still broken for me, I can now choose a song ok, but the import button is broken!

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "openlp\plugins\songs\forms\songselectform.py", line 390, in on_import_button_clicked

File "openlp\plugins\songs\lib\songselect.py", line 258, in save_song

AttributeError: 'Song' object has no attribute 'add_topic'

Nathan_theGeek · October 2016

Yes Thanks to the development team for their work. I had the same problem, I just haven't had time yet to sit down and try to recreate it. But philworthington's traceback is the same one i was getting.

philworthington · October 2016

The import actually works sometimes, even with the error message. Although there seems to be no guarantee. I had one song import five times, some of them without the artist name.

I'm also getting crashes on exit sometimes, I'll see if I can catch it and get a traceback for that too.

kmenzel · October 2016

I'm seeing the same thing with import as well.

raoul · October 2016

I've fixed that error in the development version of OpenLP, so the next release should have that fix.

I've got an unconfirmed report of another potential problem, and maybe you guys can help. Has anyone tried editing the newly imported song?

philiptory · October 2016

*** BUG ***: Yes, me too... When I try to log in via the CCLI SongSelect Importer, it tells me "Error Logging In: These was a problem logging in, perhaps your username or password is incorrect?" ...
I know I have the correct details because I can log into the CCLI SongSelect site direct, OK.
HOWEVER, I click OK on the Error message, and it takes me back to the login screen: BUT! then I cannot close it - the "X" is greyed out., I have to crash out of OpenLP using Task Manager.

raoul · October 2016

@philiptory your issue was fixed in OpenLP 2.4.3, please make sure you are running that version.

gafortiby · October 2016

I just started using OpenLP 2.4.3 on a Windows 7 machine. I am also getting this error

AttributeError: 'Song' object has no attribute 'add_topic'

However, if I ignore this error and exit using the back buttons, the song is actually imported into the library.

philworthington · November 2016

Hi there. I just had this error when trying to edit a song too, so I'm guessing the issue is something to do with the song database itself?
