Stopped working #30

Closed toolapcblack closed 1 year ago

Tried uninstalling then was going to re-install, as a last resort to get it working, but no longer showing under 3rd party plugins either! Contacted Daniel and he said "As MixCloud doesn’t have a public API to play track, this plugin uses https://www.dlmixcloud.com/ to get a playable download URL. However, this service seems to have stopped working. So therefore this plugin also no longer works."

There's a very rough implementation available in https://github.com/danielvijge/lms_mixcloud/pull/31 I haven't done any real testing yet. And I don't know locoloader at all, so no idea how stable this service is for getting the MixCloud stream URL.

locoloader has a rate limit of 2 requests per 6 hours, so I reworked it again with savelink.info as a service in #32 Initially it starts playing, but the stream stops after about 1:20. In the browser this same URL plays OK, so it might not be an issue with the MixCloud plugins.

initial test is OK, but you need to set in Settings: Advanced -> Network -> Streaming mode for HTTP(S) set to "Persistent mode".

A (possible) fix has been merged in 0b5fe31240da294d4d204dc8a80738259582a8b0 and will be available as beta build 0.9.3. The comment about the change to the streaming mode is no longer needed, as the streaming mode is set automatically by the MixCloud plugin.

I'm not familiar with VortexBox, but if it's running LMS version 7.9.1 -- that's quite old, as it was released in April 2018. Since the release of the Mixcloud plugin 0.5 (from April 2021) the minimum required version of LMS is 8.1. For this new release (0.10) it is bumped to 8.2. So you would have to see if you can upgrade your LMS version to 8.2 or newer.

(technically you can also try to modify the plugin code and lower the minimum version, but I have no idea if it works or not. I always run the latest nightly version on LMS and test my plugins on that)
