Mixcloud plugin?

[Paul Webster]

I have not checked but my guess is that dlmixcloud is blocking automated access.

I'm also experiencing this issue with playback. I've updated to the latest dev version of the plugin, but continue to see errors such as

[20-12-04 11:20:46.2877] Slim::Player::Song:pen (478) Warning: stream failed to open [mixcloud://Matt_Smallwood/matt-smallwood-trade-tribute-mix/].

I'm a technical user so happy to help with debugging through curl, perl or whatever if I can be of any help.

Quoting from this page:

https://www.mixcloud.com/developers/#audio-streams

"The audio streams are not available through the Mixcloud API. There are two reasons for this.

Firstly, we need to know what has been listened to so that we can report usage, pay royalties and provide features such as 'Suggested Shows'.Secondly, Mixcloud needs to pay the bills! We can't give away the audio for free outside of mixcloud.com simply because it costs us to host and stream the files and pay royalties."

Is this a recent change in Mixcloud's policy? For about a week the Mixcloud plugin returns a "404 Not Found" error when trying to access "My Mixcloud".

The server log reports:

[21-01-13 22:02:18.1585] Plugins::MixCloud::Plugin::__ANON__ (282) error: 404 Not Found

Yes, I can confirm. Problem seems to be that some of the API urls contain a double slash. That used to work before, but now it doesn't. Shouldn't be too difficult to do a fix for that

Edit: Version 0.4 is released, which should fix the problem.

Thank you very much!!

My playback problem still persists with version 0.4 on a completely clean install of LMS on a virgin windows 10 install on a new server

Thank you for the 0.4 update! Unfortunately, I'm also still having problems playing from it. I tried playing this mix: https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/shanti-celeste-21st-january-2021/ and get the following errors. I tried both from pasting in the URL and using the search. The mix comes up with proper metadata and album art in LMS, but the music doesn't play.

Here's the debug log from attempting to play a track. I don't think the errors are any different to before.

I have a bit of spare time so happy to do further diagnostics if you wish.

It is possible the dlmixcloud (not in any way associated with MixCloud) is actively blocking based on User-Agent or something similar ... or you might have old SSL libraries.

What do you have under /Settings/Information/IO::Socket::SSL ?

[mrmichaelwright]

I have : IO::Socket::SSL: 2.068
