Soundcloud support

[xijo]

Hey folks,

First of all thanks for the work you've put into this library.

I was wondering if it was possible to add soundcloud support to it. Afaics it should not be substantially different from how spotify works, right?

Any idea how to start or how difficult that would be to add?

Thanks and greetings,
Johannes

Hi:

Thanks for your comments and sorry for the late response.

Are you referring to ShareLink support for SoundCloud, as currently provided for Apple, Spotify, Tidal and Deezer? I ask because we don't have general support for music services (because they're not robustly supported by the SoCo library).

Cheers,
Peter

Yes, exactly, I was asking about sharelink support for SoundCloud. I’d be happy to work on a PR if you could provide some general direction on how to start 😏

Thanks. SoundCloud ShareLink support would need to be added in the underlying SoCo library, within the ShareLink plugin, then SoCo-CLI would automatically acquire the capability.

I'll take a look to see how feasible this is.

I have worked around this limitation using yt-dlp. Consider that I don't have a SC subscription so I am limited to SC's free audio stream (mp3 128kbps). The following might suit you @xijo

yt-dlp -f "bestaudio[ext=mp3]" -g [insert-soundcloud-link-here] | xargs sonos [your-speaker-name-here] play_uri

Wow that is very smart, I‘ll give it a try! Thank you

That's very nice -- thanks.

(I did investigate adding SoundCloud to the SoCo library some time ago, but didn't get very far.)
