Oh, ok. I think my setup broke so I will reinstall and write back!

New to Arch...? :-p

If you do reinstall your system (which I hope was not triggered by the bad experience of installing my little program) stay away from RubyGems and stick to what is offered in the repos. If it's not there, build your own package. It makes things a lot easier when you can rely on pacman do deal with everything.

Yep, fairly new to arch. Just installed it on a fresh setup. Now it asks for email and password and after i type my pass i get:

Could not post/save access token.
Could not authenticate.
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/soundcli.rb:9:in `initialize': Authentication error (RuntimeError)
	from /usr/bin/soundcli:6:in `new'
	from /usr/bin/soundcli:6:in `<main>

Good, we had this earlier (see some posts above). During installation the configuration directory is not created automatically yet, nor does soundCLI create the dir when it discovers that it doesn't exist. You need to do this manually:

mkdir $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/soundcli

soundCLI stores the authentication token there.

I will provide a soundcli-git package later today, so you can easily follow development and the implementation of bugfixes before the next release. Note that soundcli 0.0.2 has some bugs which have since been fixed in the latest version on git.

rekado: Thanks! I had a file soundcli instead of a folder. Now it works fine!

rekado · 2011-08-17 12:29:06

The new soundcli-git package is ready, so you can easily track the development.

Changes:
- fixed the bug jomasti reported
- a config file is now respected
- verbosity can be set in the config file

rekado · 2011-09-20 00:17:37

Added support for playlists...

soundcli set http://soundcloud.com/rekado/sets/staging/

...and multiple file playback:

soundcli stream http://soundcloud.com/rekado/{the-human-song,chroma,faded}

Grab it from the AUR: soundcli-git

rekado · 2011-09-23 17:02:33

Only just noticed that soundCLI required authentication for streaming songs (and not only for user-related stuff). That's been fixed in soundcli-git. People without SoundCloud account can now stream songs from the 'Cloud, too.

thanks for this nice project, I already flattr'ed it
There are still a lot of functionality missing, e.g. playing a whole artist site an once, soundcli stream http://soundcloud.com/le-filou
or downloading several tracks at once.

Hope you still got some time for this project

rekado · 2012-03-06 15:16:58

I'm currently not working on soundcli, but I might continue later this year. The code is not complicated, though, so you are welcome to submit patches.

I just added this feature. Just fetch the latest version from git and then enter `soundcli user mama` where "mama" is the user's username on soundcloud.

hello i have this error when i try to start soundcli
no such file to load -- soundcli
i compiled all the components with ruby 1.8

i had to fix some things like : ln -s /usr/bin/ruby-1.8 /usr/bin/ruby
mkdir -p /opt/ruby1.8/bin/
ln -s /usr/bin/ruby-1.8 /opt/ruby1.8/bin/ruby

rekado · 2012-09-02 01:36:39

@freaks: ruby 1.9 is required.

Hmm. Does anyone know if ruby 2.x is supported?

I just tried the normal and -git versions in the AUR, and in both cases get an uninformative error message:

cannot load such file -- soundcli

Ruby version: ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-linux]

Any ideas?

Getting exactly the same. What gives?

hughitt1 · 2013-07-31 14:51:41

Got it working after doing a manual install from Github.

@rekado, it looks like the web authentication may be broken though: the auth code appears in the URL and I can use it, but no message is displayed on the website.

Hmm. I pulled the repo from github and get this:

undefined method `bus' for nil:NilClass

Did you build it or just run it as `ruby -Ilib ./bin/soundcli`?

Thanks,
Nick

EDIT:

Nevermind. I installed it as a gem and then installed a bunch of gstreamer plugins and now it works! \\o/

Let's try this out.
