How to embed your Soundcloud player in Hijack

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

Had quite a few PM's on how to do this so, rather than repeating myself over and over, here's the definitive guide  

First of all, get the embed code from Soundcloud. It can be found by clicking on the Share tag and looks like this:

<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F7938841"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F7938841" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object>  <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/sic_tracks/hello">Hello?</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/sic_tracks">[sic]</a></span>

You need the bit that I've enlarged.  

Copy it and then put flash tags around it:

Code:

[flash=800,82]http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F7938841[/flash]

Make sure you change the flash played size to 800,82. If you're using a Set, try changing the size to 800,200 or higher.

And then it should look like this!

<a href="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F7938841" target="_blank">http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F7938841</a>

And how a set looks:

<a href="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F453594" target="_blank">http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F453594</a>

Code:

[flash=800,300]http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F453594[/flash]

Maybe this could be made stickytastic as this is a well requested feature for message boards.

Seeing as it's music related and all

[Jack Bastard]

I love you Powdermonkey.

 

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

I love you Powdermonkey.

 

And so you should.

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

I still think this should be a sticky as there are more and more producers using and embedding Soundcloud.

Music related sticky?

Come onnnn...

How do you embed if you want to do it with added picture?

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

How do you embed if you want to do it with added picture?

Do you mean the image associated with the track?

It doesn't show until you click on the 'info' button (at least I don't think it does!)

Yeah the artwork you upload, you can have that as the player ... soundcloud gives you this code for it ... but I cant make it work on Hijack

[soundcloud url="http://soundcloud.com/dontpanicbristol/depth-charge" params="auto_play=false&player_type=artwork&color=ff7700" width="300" height="300" ]

Any ideas how?

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

Given it a few goes, cannae figure that one out.

does anyone know how to embed mixcloud player?

I've tried and tried, but can't figure it out. 

[Nathan Promo]

Cheers Powdermonkey followed your guide when putting up some tracks via soundcloud. 

Do you or anyone else here have a clue how to insert jpeg images i.e artwork into a pm?

[Ewan Hoozami]

I've tried and tried, but can't figure it out. 

Ah - that was my next question...

[Ellergy]

Thank you for this!

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

Quick update...

Soundcloud have now modified their code and it no longer includes the track name but rather a number.

I've changed the code above to reflect this.

[Neverlution Sound System]

Anyone have any luck with the mixcloud player? Ive played around a lot with it but no joy.
Their coding is mental 

[n2odnb]

Dunno. Show us what code you've put in and I'll fix it.

Actually, replying show's me your code. You've not copied the embed code.

Give us the link to your page and I'll show you what to do. Or follow my instructions reallllllly closely - you want the embed code and nothing else

[guy_the_rev]

Ive tried a bunch to get this working but unfortunatly I are a reetard when it come to code, Ive tried adding and cutting bits to get it to resemble the example one but Ive pretty much failed 

This is what I have in my signiture [ flash=800,82]http://player.soundcloud.com/player?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F27873[/flash] (without the space at the start of the flash tag).. Would it matter that I have quite a bit of shit in the sig already?

This is what I get from soundcloud, HTML 5 box checked - <iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F27873&show_artwork=true"></iframe>

This is what I get with HTML 5 not checked - <object height="225" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F27873"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="225" src="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F27873" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object>  <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/guytherev">Latest tracks by guy_the_rev</a></span>

Can anyone see where Im going wrong? 

[mishima]

you were very close - try this:

Code:

[flash=800,82]http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F27873[/flash]

[guy_the_rev]

Haha nice one Mark Did you enjoy Brisfest? Unfortunatly I didnt get to see you..

[guy_the_rev]

It works, clearly your the Don 

[Peter_JamesDJ]

Is it the same for mixcloud?

If it appears below than yes 

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

Nope, Mixcloud doesn't work alas.

[Peter_JamesDJ]

Nevermind.....

Thanks though.

[Snoo]

Seems there is no flash on soundcloud anymore. Just HTML5. Powdermonkey do you know how to embed the player using html5?

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

Flash player's working fine for me.

Just make sure you grab the right code. Click Share, Edit the Widget code and and instead of HTML5, choose the FLASH option in the tab settings. Then edit the code as above.

<a href="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F2727129" target="_blank">https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F2727129</a>

[Snoo]

Ah cheers. I was looking for the Flash option but didn't see it. Will try again later.

[parasite]

Nope, Mixcloud doesn't work alas.

Mixcloud have updated their player to work in phpBB forums!!! http://blog.mixcloud.com/2010/08/05/phpbb-forums-get-mixcloud-widget-love/

Admin will need to tweak some backend stuff...

erm, great

Don't use the iFrame code. Use the HTML code

[top cat]

Don't use the iFrame code. Use the HTML code

yours in your sig is also not working!? It was yesterday... Is it my browser or summat?

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

The link in the code you posted takes you to a mobile version of Soundcloud, and the code is iFrame only.

Go to the regular soundcloud page and go to grab the code. Instead of HTML5 you need Flash (sorry, meant Flash above):

but I am on my computer! my mobile is from 1998!

[[sic] / Powdermonkey]

Yes but you can still visit mobile sites on your computer.

This is the code you need (I got to your main profile by clicking on your name in the original link)

<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F80061311"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F80061311" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object>  <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/benjblackmore/forward-for-this">forward for this</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/benjblackmore">benjblackmore</a></span>

Then add the flash tabs:

Does anyone know if this has changed over the last few months? Soundcloud doesnt seem to have the standard embed code available now... either that or im looking in the wrong place!
