Hello, I’m having difficulty understanding the requirements for loading Soundcloud sets into mopidy-soundcloud. I’m always running into URI scheme errors. From some searching I found this thread, and it appears that his pull request was merged in to master a while ago. I’ve got my API key set in mopidy.conf, yet any way I try it there no go. In Moped I’m actually able to see the name of my set, but no songs within it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Please provide your version information (sudo mopidyctl deps). Do the other parts of Mopidy-Soundcloud work for you? Have you checked the Mopidy log for any errors/warnings messages?
This works for me:
nick@xps:~$ mpc add sc:https://soundcloud.com/yndihalda/sets/dash-and-blast
nick@xps:~$ mpc playlist
yndi halda - 01 Dash And Blast
yndi halda - 02 We Flood Empty Lakes
yndi halda - 03 A Song For Starlit Beaches
yndi halda - 04 Illuminate My Heart, My Darling
Does that example work for you? Can you provide an example of a set that does not work?
See attached-
Using the same MPC add command with my own playlist results in URI scheme errors.

You don’t have Mopidy-MPD installed so I can only assume your mpc commands are talking to some version of mpd you have installed. You need to install Mopidy-MPD and then either configure it to run on a port other than the default (6600) so it does not clash with mpd, or keep the default port and stop mpd instead.
Gotcha, i suppose from reading the docs I was under the impression that mopidy itself parsed own version of MPD and the mopidy-mpd was like the original MPD spec. If using mopid-mpd am I correct to assume that MPD itself is not needed?

Is there an additional configuration that I’m missing that is resulting in it looking locally?
Correct.
Shouldn’t be. Does your Mopidy log show Mopidy-SoundCloud started OK?
I guess I am slightly wary that I said to use mopidyctl, which is for the normal case of interacting with the Mopidy service. But you don’t have a normal setup here, you are running as root. I am guessing you are not using our service at all and you have started Mopidy manually. When you start manually you’ll be picking up a different config file to what our service uses (and to what mopidyctl reports). And so SoundCloud is probably just not configured properly. But that should be pretty obvious in the log file.
So how are you starting/running Mopidy?
Its running as a service, with the mopidy user. I’m just logged in as root because lazy.
Good catch, I checked the log, and remembered that I put n a different(incorrect) soundcloud ID when i was troubleshooting. I fixed the ID and everything is working now.
Thanks for your help!
As a continuation of the mopidy-mpd and mopidy-soundcloud setup, one thing I’m still running into an issue which is upon execution of mpc play, I’m greeted with GStreamer errors.

I’m running as a system service, are there any special permissions that I need to grant to the mopidy user?
Is this with pulseaudio? There’s a note on our docs about the extra config step required for that.
I don’t believe that pulseaudio is installed.

Ive also verified that I’m able to connect to Icecast using the configured credentials via another app.
So this is with Mopidy configured to use icecast output, as in your other thread? Or is this with a normal output?
I’ve tried it with Icecast output as well as autoaudiosink and get the same result.
