Is there a way to play soundcloud content through the mediafront player? Soundcloud has an HTML 5 player now, but I am not sure if there is a way to feed that content into Mediafront. I'd definitely be willing to work with someone to make this a reality. I'm novice, but I'm eager.

Well I think I found the way to get Soundcloud content to play via Media Front.

You must first get the api share URL from a soundcloud track (which is exposed in, Share > Wordpress Code). Then you need to append your soundcloud developer API key (which you need to obtain from Soundcloud) and finally add &filename=soundcloud.mp3

So if you wanted to post the track located here --> Soundcloud Track

Your URL would be:
http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/83019341/stream?client_id=YOUR_SOUNDCLO...&filename=soundcloud.mp3

-in other words-

http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/ + SOUNDCLOUD_TRACK_ID + /stream?client_id=YOUR_SOUNDCLOUD_API_KEY&filename=soundcloud.mp3

Now once I figure out how to automate this a bit more, I'll stick in a module...but I'm a bit of a noob with custom module dev, so it may take some time. If you want to work with me, just get in contact with me. Thanks!

The simplest way is to create a playlist from this url: http://mycloudplayers.com using your soundcloud login. Next, past the iframe code on your body in add content page.

hope is usefull.

Please dont hijack the topic. This is a feature request, not support request to link to external sites.

Going back to original post. Are there any plans to make Soundcloud work on MediaFront the same way youtube does?

That we simply add the soundcloud url to the field and MediaFront detects it and plays it?

It would be awesome. We would then be able to create a preset to show only controls and have an audio soundcloud playlist!

Please tell me someone is interested in this.

I agree this would be amazing. But considering the scale of the development, this would need to be a sponsored addition. If you would consider that, then please contact me and I can put it in my queue.

Could this work alongside Media: SoundCloud module?

dmoonman, I'd be interested in getting this working too. If you still are working on developing this, let me know.

We've been looking for a multi-provider audio player for Pushtape https://drupal.org/node/1872182. Any idea how complex this integration would be?

I'm looking into SoundCloud integration, but it won't be a quick turnaround. Media: SoundCloud is not being actively maintained.

I'm actively working on this, but marking this as postponed for the time being.

Just an update that https://www.drupal.org/project/media_oembed and media: soundcloud work very nicely.

Media:oEmbed is great, but the ideal here is have one player outputting audio and video from multiple providers. Is this still possible with MediaFront?

No longer working on this or MediaFront, as I've been away from working on Drupal. So maybe someone else can take this on.
