I have VLC version 3.0.6 running on Windows 10 and up until a few months ago, I could network stream soundcloud audio via:
Media -> Open Network Stream... -> <soundcloud URL>
I don't know if it's a policy change by soundcloud or a legitimate bug in VLC, but when I try to do it now, it won't play anything. I've attached a section of the debug info of my attempt. I searched up "HTTP 401 error" and its an unauthorized error:
