SoundCloud in Linux (With MPD)?

[bester69]

Hi,

Ive seen only cantata seems to have well implemented this plugin, but it seems to come embedded with the player..

Why gmpc or amarok doesnt come with it?.. I think things are not being doing properly..

You are welcome to code a plugin yourself if you need it.

You already have the code from Cantata, just adapt it for the music player of your choice!

mpv + youtube-dl.

mpd can also play their links directly.

Another great way to play Soundcloud,

I's to use MPD + MOPIDY-SOUDCLOUD (Extension)
https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/debian/

Code: Select all

wget -q -O - https://apt.mopidy.com/mopidy.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget -q -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mopidy.list https://apt.mopidy.com/stretch.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mopidy
sudo apt-get install mopidy-soundcloud


Then, we need to autogenerate auth. cretification for soundcloud.:
https://www.mopidy.com/authenticate/


Then we can create soundlcoud playlists in our soundcloud account, and go to Cantata (MPD client), and have them available for playing, or we might just use mopidy webextensions and play them from there.:

MPD Clients for Mopidy.:
https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/clients/mpd/

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install cantata

MPD Extensions for http Mopidy.:
https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/web/

Code: Select all

pip install Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient

Another great way..:

My Cloud Player (Android dlna render)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycloudplayers.mycloudplayer

send to

Kodi (linux)

Perhaps, this is the best solution to listen soundcloud in linux with low CPU demand

We just need to use mpc in a script as a external player with kodi.:

/home/myuser/.kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml

Code: Select all

<playercorefactory>
        <players>
               <player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
                        <filename>"/home/myuser/scripts/mpckodi.sh"</filename>
                        <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
                        <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
                </player>
                         
        </players>
        <rules action="prepend">
<!---
**********                   **********
****<filename>"/usr/bin/smplayer -fullscreen"</filename>
********** EDIT THIS SECTION **********
**********                   **********
-->
                <rule protocols="smb" player="VLC" />
                <rule dvdimage="true" player="VLC"/>
                <rule protocols="rtmp" player="VLC"/>
                <rule protocols="rtsp" player="VLC" />
                <rule protocols="sop" player="VLC" />
                <rule internetstream="true" player="VLC" />
                <rule video="true" player="VLC"/>
                <rule audio="true" player="VLC"/>
                  <!-- Default for anything else not listed -->
        </rules>
</playercorefactory>


And The script to use mpc as an Kodi's external player.:
mpckodi.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
MPDM="/home/myuser/Música"
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/myuser/.local/bin"
export MPD_HOST="192.168.1.128"

mpduri="$1#"
TAG=$(youtube-dl -i --get-filename $1)
cadena="{\"title\":\"$TAG\"}"
echo "$cadena"
mpduri="$mpduri$cadena"
mpc random off
mpc insert "$mpduri"
mpc next
mpc play


My Cloud Player (Android dlna render)

Cantata Player (MPD client)

Mopidy also has a soundcloud plugin

Hi pylkko,

Its already commented it above that solution.. I tried mopidy for a while, but it didnt convinced me very much.. Its more design oriented for web interface clients.. and I saw mopidy intefaces (web extensions) are still kind of beta.

No, I don't think that is true, because it is compatible with mpd, that is all existing mpd clients should be able to run it (although it is true that most people run it using a web client nowadays, I guess).

IIRC this was one of the better web clients
