SoundKloud

[twobob]

got 15 results loading happily.

will wait on qlob to implement some iteration and other API related searches.

Would like to load a larger results set and just display the first 15 (or possibly implement a scrollbar based solution)

Would like to add some user defaults (results per page etc)

Need to fix the odd escaping behaviour of bash on my quotes.

But yeah. much better.

[twobob]

Todays work so far. Get it to play with useful volumes by default

/* Make the sound loud... */
system("alsactl restore -f /mnt/us/soundkloud/alsactl.setup");

Also further tested the 403's... it's odd because today I had access for a few moments to seemingly everything... here there be dragons?

perhaps I will do a viddy later.

Another bug... Python script appears to be ignoring everything after the first space in a search term..

I tried
python ./artist-track.py \'\"`echo "'mr scruff'" | tr -d '"'`\"\'

and all the variations thereof...

Will have to get qlob onto that...

OTG USB, tiny usb soundcard affixed to casing. tidiest form factor was the consideration.

OK - Finally located the USB (host/client) sound processor (which I had mentioned before, somewhere here):

Check bottom of that page for downloads of additional information and source codes.

[twobob]

this is shelved until qlob checks his python over.

my end is working.

Those shots look good! I'll get right on fixing stuff!

PHP Code:

#!python
# encoding: utf-8
# encoding declaration as specified here http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/
import soundcloud
import subprocess 
import sys
import os
from time import sleep
# create client object with app and user credentials
client = soundcloud.Client(client_id='8c882aabb8d9314021b236a291cd874c',
                           client_secret='yada')
try:
    fullsearch = ""
    for arg in sys.argv: 
        if not sys.argv[0] in arg: 
            fullsearch = fullsearch + " " + arg  
    tracks = client.get('/tracks', q = fullsearch, limit=15,filter="streamable")
    i = 1
    temp = {} #initalize dictionary
    for track in tracks:
        titleage = track.title.encode('utf-8')
             tempy = titleage+'\n'
        temp.update({i:track.id}) #set dictionary key
        i=i + 1

    #return full list of links
    for listing in range(1,i):
        queryb = listing
        trackid = temp.get(queryb) #retrieve key
        track = client.get('/tracks/{0}'.format(trackid))
        #tempart = "Artist: {0}\nDuration (in secs): {1}".format(track.user.get(u'username'), (track.duration/1000))
        temptitle= track.title.encode('utf-8')
        stream_url = client.get(track.stream_url, allow_redirects=False)

# ec is giving us 403's atm
        if "ec-media" in stream_url.location:        
            print "{0}¬{1} ".format(temptitle,stream_url.location)
    # "Track Loading complete"
except:
    print "STREAM-DOWN! Unexpected Soundcloud error:", sys.exc_info()[0],"¬./fail.wav" 


an example call

PHP Code:

static void playmplayer(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) {
    char holder[1024] = "killall -9 mplayer & ./mplayer  -softvol -softvol-max 200 -af volume=5 ";
    char *formatted = data;
    strcat(holder, formatted);
    system(holder);
//    g_print("debug=%s", holder);
} 


(and yes I should check the strlen and free the space, this is an example)

[twobob]

Okay - result. Total success.

Happy with that.

can now do playback on all results. and search on multiple terms!

SWEEET

Great work.
Do you and qlob have plans to release a package of this player?

Well. One for the touch could be right around the corner.
There are still a few 403 errors that I would like iron out before the bazzilion reports of it failing from time to time.

That said, the python is a separate text file that can easily be updated post install as new features become available.

The stumbling blocks for the 3 need addressing before that comes to fruition.

so yeah. Touch soon maybe. 3 later

[twobob]

Todays edits:

Status box with updated stream info every few seconds. (currently just prints the stream url badly )

per-label text-style control

gtk_widget_modify_font(label03, pango_font_description_from_string("Tahoma 11.2"));

Local search to play local files for local people.

Wider search box and smaller font to allow for longer search terms.
Search terms now accept spaces.

Other bits and bats. play button now restarts stream, pause works, volume also can be set.

Looks Nice!

Key input?

[twobob]

Todays progress...

Thanks to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...93#post2367393 and a bit of gratuitous grafting we have this all neatly running on the 3.

Wow. that was less hard than I imagined... (next up... install python on the 3) (embedded in the loop for now I think)

[twobob]

err at a bit of a loss what to do next

http://developers.soundcloud.com/doc...ference#tracks

Search by artist maybe?

Nah I'll just implement the "local play" more completely I think.
Perhaps just put together an early release

- bugs, features and all and see what explodes.

Input gratefully accepted..

Todays Fixes: Corrected the search term text.
Tested on 3.
