    Mixcloud plugin does not work on LMS 8.1.1

    hi folks,

    I am running LMS 8.1.1 on a Synology DSM 6.2.4.

    I have installed the mixcloud plugin but it does not work properly. no Idea what is missing.

    plugin loads well, i can see mymixcloud, see my subscriptions and can load tracks to the LMS player. I can see images of my follows and the tracks.

    when playing a track it starts for 7 to 8 seconds but I don´t hear any sound. then it flips back to 0.0 where it stays.


    i have no idea what i am doing wrong at this point but maybe you can help me with some tipps?

    thanks and @all have a good 2023!

    martin

    Check your LMS server.log just in case it gives the reason.

        Missing ffmpeg perhaps.

          I was not aware that ffmpeg is required. I will check this later :-)

            I don't know for sure that it is always required ... it probably depends on your LMS conversion rules etc.
            However, if I play it from my pCP installation then I see ffmpeg running to handle the content.

              hi again,

              i installed FFMEG on the synology and server log gives me noch this error


              [23-01-10 09:28:01.5552] Slim::Player::Song:pen (415) Error: Couldn't create command line for unk playback for [mixcloud://akim_b/absolut-soul-sonder-show-01112022-on-soulpowerfm/]​

              the 404 error I had earlier seems gone, but still the track plays without sound for 8 seconds and then stops.

              any further suggestion? would really love to get this running ;-)

              thanks!
              Martin

                ...running Mixcloud plugin v.0.9 on LMS 8.4 on pCP 8.2.0... solved by putting:

                  I think you will need to increase the logging level in LMS to see what it calculated when trying to construct a command line for the player.
                  Settings/Advanced/Logging
                  and then increase the level for player.source ... and maybe some others (some experts on LMS and file-types may well come along with more ideas).

                    When the "unk playback" message is logged it is usually means there is no protocol handler installed (I.e. the one for mixcloud:") or it is isn't working properly

                    I'd enable logging for the mixcloud plugin and check that it starts OK - so the plugin logging will have to be made persistent (i.e. check box "Save logging settings for use at next application restart" ) and LMS rebooted to see if the plugin starts OK when LMS boots.

                      I was able to stream a track that is of type "mp4", but seems that type "unk" may e the issue. I have no idea, what unk may be :-(


                      any idea?

                      thanks a million!

                          I think the plugin is OK - but LMS is not determining how to play the m4a stream.

                            "unk" is assigned to any format which cannot be determined ( unk = unknown )
                            The "mixcloud://" is a designator for a protocol handler which handles interactions and determining audio type of a stream.
                            Since you have a "unk" it often means protocol handler is not working correctly.

                            Native MPEG4 handling was only added in 8.1.* (before native I think ffmpeg was used) . There were lots of LMS/MPEG4 bug fixes since 8.1.1 - I'd advise to upgrade LMS to 8.3.1 so that any issues due to fixed bugs can be eliminated.

                              May well be that things work better with newer LMS.
                              Could try copying the m4a URL from the logs (full version not the forum abbreviated one) and ask LMS to play it directly - which would show if there is a problem with playing the underlying content (avoiding the MixCloud protocol prefix). It should work but might need to generate a new one if tokens expired.
