Soundcloud plugin for squeezeserver

[erland]

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!

I've now added your repository to the official list so people that want to install SoundCloud plugin should no longer have to setup your repository manually.

Good work - definitely be watching this one closely, found a few things to fix though:

While installing:

I installed this plugin and the bandcamp plugin on my squeezebox server (v7.6.1). After a server restart the bandcamp plugin works perfectly but the soundcloud plugin doesn't appear anywhere and everytime I access the plugins page now asks me to restart.

But fixed this by installing another plugin.... bizarre.

Couple of other things:

Do you support 'private' urls?

I tried to play the new errors album listed on http://drownedinsound.com/news/41443...faith-in-magic using the soundcloud url http://soundcloud.com/rock-action-re...-magic/s-5rNXj but your app couldn't find it. On further investigation I found it's a private stream setup to allow access only if you have the url. But I have url so why can't I play it?!

Finally on doing my first search I find using the official logitech controller app on my android app that somewhere along the way the list got out of order, I select one song and it brings up another listed 2 songs up. I tried another search which bought up a shorter list and this worked fine.

1) re: restarting -- that's weird, I've seen that happen when the plugin config is horribly broken, which I don't think soundcloud is at the moment, but I'll take a look
2) I'm not making the url lookup as an authenticated call, this is an easy fix!
3) this is an issue with the plugin architecture -- if the search results aren't extremely stable you'll get this behavior (it searches once, gets results A,B,C. You click result C, it asks me to redo the search at position 3. If the server now returns results A,B,D,E,C, you'll end up playing D. Working on fixes to this.

Is it possible to play sets with this player?

This weekend I tried this album: http://soundcloud.com/caribouband/sets/swim/ ("Swim" by Caribou) But it didn't work.

If it is possible I'd like to hear how.

Thanks!

[whizziwig]

adding sets support tomorrow!

sets should be mostly working in the latest version @ http://www.whizziwig.com/static/squeezecloud/public.xml


@erland -- do I need to ask you to update the version in the 3rd party repo when I push?

At first I get (in the "Swim"-scenario) Swim (9 tracks 43m17s)

Second "400 bad request" and nothing will play.
