Can no longer import songs from CCLI in OpenLP 3.0.2
Seems CCLI updated their web site, and now I cannot import songs in OpenLP 3.0.2, which is rather aggravating. Can sign in okay, but get the following message after signing in:
SongSelect by CCLI®

What is going on, and how can this be fixed?

More than a year ago we needed to change our process to downloading the text file version from SongSelect and then importing the text file as a SongSelect format into OpenLP.
Have you tried that process?
SongSelect has messed with their APIs and doesn't want people to use them it seems.
SongSelect does not provide a public API. This means OpenLP has to pull the lyrics straight from the webpage. This means the SongSelect importer breaks every time SongSelect changes their website.
Until someone releases a fix for OpenLP, downloading the text file as wemmc mentioned is the way to go.
