Streaming works fine, for tracks that are available, but for some reason I can't see most tracks.

Here's my likes, according to Squeezecloud: 2016-04-21-100424_451x477_scrot

... and Soundcloud: 2016-04-21-100437_611x497_scrot

A search for Madeon: 2016-04-21-100508_380x371_scrot 2016-04-21-100502_672x463_scrot

Any ideas? I haven't gone through and tried to debug myself yet, in case the explanation is very simple.

No really something I can control. This plugin uses the official API, and the API indicates that there are no results. Also, inputting one of the URL directly (e.g. https://soundcloud.com/madeon/ellie-goulding-madeon in the field SoundCloud URL) gives a "403 Forbidden" error message. So seems that SoundCloud does not give permission to play these tracks outside of their own site.

Oh well - that's bizarre. I'll dig myself and maybe ask them about it. Thanks!

Closed, can't fix. Limitation of API
