The VideoLAN Forums

The usual Open Network trick for playing Soundcloud links seems to have stopped working today. Just this morning I listened to something from SC in VLC without a hitch, and now nothing will load (even the same thing I listened to just a few hours earlier). Need an update on that .lua file I suppose?

Need an update on that .lua file I suppose?

Yep, I guess so:
And that's with a public URL which doesn't need any log in and plays fine with other players:
https://soundcloud.com/juan_mj_10/led-z ... ock-n-roll

Even with a seemingly working extractor, it's failing due to what looks like a bug in the adaptive plugin: It might be a bug in the extractor though.

Fixed: ticket 25508

It works! Thank you so much.

Hi

Same issue here but I do not understand how to solve it..

I have no .lua files but .luac (VLC 3.0.11) - Windows 10
I have soundcloud.luac and youtube.luac and the script looks like this (not like the script file I can copy/paste in the solution proposed here)

LuaQ G @../../extras/package/win32/../../../share/lua/playlist/soundcloud.lua $ $@ @ $€ € $À À € probe fix_quotes extract_magic parse @@ K€@ ÁÀ \€ € E F@Á W€Á À €E F@Á ÀÁ @€E F@ € Á€ \€€@ €B@ B € ^ € vlc path gsub ^www%. access http https string

This is only a small part of it

Please help me to understand how to play Soundcloud again in VLC

Just delete "soundcloud.luac" and put the updated "soundcloud.lua" in the same folder.

Downloaded the latest version of VLC, deleted the old one and it works ok now ! Thanks for your help

Or just use the latest VLC nightly build: http://nightlies.videolan.org/
