Plugin broken

[buchinho]

Just started using the plugin but it does not seem to work for me. Here's my config:

[soundcloud] auth_token = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx explore = world/Cumbia, world/Bhangra, world/African

and it crashes: http://pastebin.com/46bNXdwJ

[buchinho]

INFO Audio mixer set to "alsamixer" using track "Master" INFO Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.soundcloud.com ERROR SoundCloud Authentication error: 'dict' object is not callable ERROR 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

[buchinho]

Nope. This is a different issue! mopidy crashes. Please have a look at the pastebin URL.

[dz0ny]

That means your auth token is invalid. Did you get yours at http://www.mopidy.com/authenticate#soundcloud?

[jodal]

Could you make it log an error message instead of printing a traceback when authentication fails?

[buchinho]

Nope. Still not working. Maybe the problem is that my authentication key has letters in it? It looks like similar to this: auth_token = 1-84732-5433994-6f9665fc26157dd0

[dz0ny]

try this one

auth_token = 1-35204-52832692-ce16393164b23ee

Tested and it works. If it doesn't work, maybe you are banned from soundcloud(ip address).

[buchinho]

Still not working properly. I'm not banned, I changed my IP, even used your auth_token. It seems to be something else. Is there a way to check the interaction between mopidy and soundcloud? (Handshake, ...)

[dz0ny]

http://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/running/#cmdoption-mopidy-v also try here http://developers.soundcloud.com/console

[buchinho]

Good! It seems to be the Client ID! The error appears just after mopidy_soundcloud gets the URL with the client-id included. This Client ID is hardcoded in the soundcloud.py.

Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.soundcloud.com DEBUG 2013-07-31 22:33:54,000 [5235:MainThread] requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool "GET /me.json?client_id=93e33e327fd8a9b77becd179652272e2 HTTP/1.1" 200 758 ERROR 2013-07-31 22:33:54,005 [5235:MainThread] mopidy.backends.soundcloud.client SoundCloud error: 'dict' object is not callable

Now if I open the URL that mopidy_soundcloud wants to pick up I get this:

{"errors":[{"error_message":"401 - Unauthorized"}]}

Obviously there seems to be something wrong with the client_id. From the context I figured out that mopidy_soundcloud has this Client ID to tell Soundcloud which kind of software uses the API. But what's up with the error then?

[dz0ny]

If the client id was wrong, then it wouldn't load for other users including me. The url part is beacuse you are missing Authorization header(you can't just open url in browser it won't work).

[buchinho]

I believe that it works with other peoples installs but why on earth does it not at my place? Can you help me figure it out? I don't know where else to start looking for potential problems.

[dz0ny]

Try running

curl -H "Authorization: OAuth 1-35204-52832692-ce16393164b23ee" "https://api.soundcloud.com/me.json?client_id=93e33e327fd8a9b77becd179652272e2"

it should give you

Same problem here. When I start Mopidy the error I get is:

INFO Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.soundcloud.com ERROR SoundCloud error: 'dict' object is not callable ERROR Authentication error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'. Check your auth_token! ERROR SoundCloud error: 'dict' object is not callable

The auth_token is set in mopidy.conf and requested from Soundcloud via the Mopidy site.

If I use the curl command mentioned above with my personal auth_token the JSON response is valid. But for some reason above error is thrown when starting Mopidy with Soundcloud enabled... I'm running Debian Wheezy on a Raspberry Pi. Are there any updates on this issue since the last posts above ?

[FrederikP]

I am having the same problem as described above.

I also get a valid response using the curl command. The response includes my username and so on.

Are there any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue?

[woutervanwijk]

A me too. Error on Ubuntu 12. I also get a valid response using curl.

[dz0ny]

@woutervanwijk and @FrederikP i think you have older version of requests module. Can you confirm that this branch works via pip install https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-soundcloud/archive/bug/issue-3.zip

[woutervanwijk]

That works indeed!

[johntyree]

@dz0ny I have requests 2.1.0 and I'm getting errors playing SoundCloud tracks and only SoundCloud tracks as well.

[johntyree]

pip install https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-soundcloud/archive/bug/issue-3.zip fails to load any songs in 'Explore ambient' playlist, but does load a personal playlist. Not sure what to make of that.

[johntyree]

I think it's just timing out on the Explore list. It seems to load one out of 4 or 5 tries.

[johntyree]

Ok scratch that. It first reports an empty playlist in ncmpcpp, but if you wait two or three minutes, it will suddenly populate. This is a great feature, but there's got to be a way to increase responsiveness...

[dz0ny]

@johntyree This is how their api works, for every song you need to request full data. This functionality however has been removed from their unofficial web api (they replaced playlists with simple "what's trending"). When this happens it will also be removed from extension.

[johntyree]

Meaning "Explore" will no longer be possible from the extension? It's the best feature :D . Do you expect to be able to do some kind of radio-style discovery+streaming through mopidy-soundcloud? I can contribute here in the future, after I get up to speed on the soundcloud api and mopidy internals (which admittedly will probably take some time and effort)

[jodal]

@dz0ny Anything we can fix here, or should this be closed again?
