Soundcloud plugin for squeezeserver

[whizziwig]

I wanted a way to play the soundcloud links I keep running into on my squeezeboxes. Squeezecloud was born.

v0.1 is live at https://github.com/downloads/blackma...SoundCloud.zip -- source code is obviously gpl'd and lives at https://github.com/blackmad/squeezecloud

currently it can:
--play from a soundcloud url
--display hot & recent tracks
--search by tags & query

it's entirely based on the fantastic YouTube plugin from Joerg. I hacked this up in the past few hours, there's lots of vestigal code from the youtube plugin, as well as lots of logging. I fully expect there to be bugs, please contact me with issues/suggestions/patches. There's probably an issue with soundcloud links with periods in the urls, will debug.

Still to come is being able to work with soundcloud playlists, fixing period issues, and possibly working with soundcloud user accounts.

enjoy,

add it via settings -> plugins -> additional repositories

updates to come for general cleanup, hopefully being able to play entire playlists, and maybe for user accounts.

Sorry to have to refuse the credits but the YouTube plugin isn't written by me, it's written by Triode, so you'd better credit him

Oh, but: many thanks for getting into this, SoundCloud support is among the things I miss most on my SB

triode++ for being incredibly helpful in debugging and developing this, and for writing the youtube plugin.

Hey, this does already work quite well.

Now, obviously, here's my wishlist

* Artwork does work in the list but not for NowPlaying
* I would really love to see a possibility to use my SoundCloud account. So far I was only able to play SoundCloud links through iPeng which meant I could not store them in favorites so I stored them as favorites on SoundCloud... Definitely don't want to need to enter them all again...
* Also, you don't use an OAuth token so far, correct? This means I can not use any links that will require an account, free or not, right? Or do you resolve the links internally using an OAuth token?

will look at why art isn't working.

ed: using the apikey on every request and every stream broke everything, so I rolled it back to only using the apikey to find your favorites. will look into authenticated streams tomorrow when I'm more awake.

disabled playlists searching/browsing for now, since the way xmlbrowser needs to replay the requests after every click meant that instability in results was causing the clicks to be completely wrong.

Thanks for a great plug-in - works really well for me. Now for my wish list

1. Scrobble/Now playing integration with Last.fm
2. That is all!

hey erland,

the code isn't the prettiest, but all functionality works and is working well for me (haven't heard of any issues from users either). I'd be thrilled to see this in the repo list. I'll also add it to the wiki.

thanks!
