SoundcloudBackend Raising 500: Internal Server Error

Pi MusicBox

Hey There!,

I’ve just installed Pi Musicbox and i’ve found a small problem.
Every time i try to browse my Soundcloud Playlists and liked tracks (via Browse --> Soundcloud),
i see the following Traceback in the debug log:

There is another (smaller) problem:
When playing a song from soundcloud, It sometimes takes 10 seconds or more to start playing. The webinterface shows “(sync)” instead of the current time.
During this time, i get tons of messages like

2018-10-11 22:57:03,081 DEBUG [2489:HttpServer] mopidy.http.handlers: Received WebSocket message from 192.168.1.7: u'{"method":"core.playback.get_time_position","jsonrpc":"2.0","id":351}'
2018-10-11 22:57:03,083 DEBUG [2489:Audio-2] mopidy.audio.actor: Position query failed

in my debug log. Since it mostly finds it after 10-30 seconds, it seems like soundcloud is responding in an unexpected way? Anyways, it prevents the song from playing.

Any idea about what might fix this? Is it a known issue?

Is this the latest image from https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/releases/tag/v0.7.0RC6 ?

Yes it is! Installed it just yesterday.

Looks like RC6 came out a really long time ago, how time flies! Since it’s release on 20th of March we did a bunch of fixes for mopidy-soundcloud. Please run:

pip install mopidy-soundcloud==2.1.0

Likes works now! (even though it only shows about 20 songs, is it possible to increase this limit?

Under "Sets" (i suppose these are the Playlists that i created) it still gives me an error though:

This also is still happening, but way less often and it mostly discoveres the correct position afer around 5 seconds:

Here is something i found interesting. I don't know if this might be related to the problem, but see for yourself:

i suppose this is nothing that we can fix, but you never know. let me know if you need any more information! :slight_smile:
