Some URLs work… some don't

    Hey slushman.

    This plugin means A LOT to a members site for independent musician I run. So thanks for providing this!

    I’m noticing some quirkiness with some of my members though. Some of the bandcamp URLs seem to work great, but I have one member who’s bandcamp URL is not.

    When I inspect the IFRAME code that is being loaded there seems to be an issue w/ the bandcamp src attribute.

    src=”https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=E HTML PUBLIC “

    As you can see the “E HTML PUBLIC” is where things seem to be bunk. Any ideas?

    I would be happy to give you more info via email to continue troubleshooting this problem.

    Thanks so much!

    Hey Regis,

    I’m betting it has something to do with the URL that member has posted. It needs to be the URL for the album. The plugin then searches that page to get the album’s unique ID #, which is added to the player’s code to make it embed properly. If the member has posted the URL for their membership page (not the album page), it may not find the unique ID #.

    That “E HTML PUBLIC” is actually part of the beginning of the source code for the page. I’m not sure why that particular section is being grabbed. If could post the URL for that member, I can take a look.

    Hey. Thanks for you response. I have verified the member IS posting the correct URL. Here’s his bandcamp page:?https://ourfaircity.bandcamp.com/album/a-most-clever-disaster

    Also, here is the complete IFRAME tag that is being loaded. The whole thing seems to be garbled.
    <iframe width="150" height="295" loose.dtd"="" html4="" tr="" www.w3.org="" "http:="" en"="" transitional="" 4.01="" html="" dtd="" w3c="" -="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=E HTML PUBLIC " style="position: relative; display: block; width: 150px; height: 295px;">

    The other strange thing I’m having with this member is that his soundcloud set is not working. Specifying a single track seems to work fine, but not a set:?https://soundcloud.com/ourfaircity/sets/a-most-clever-disaster

    Thanks so much,
    Regis

    Hey Regis,

    I just updated the plugin to 0.3.1 to reflect the new Bandcamp player. I thought I had that sorted out, but it appears the new player has the album ID is a different place than the version 1 player did in the page’s source code. It should work for everyone now.

    As far as the SoundCloud set, I’m going to guess that has something to do with the permissions on the set. I just played around with one of my sets and was able to remove the embed code from other people’s view of my player. I believe when you do this, it also disables the oEmbed, which is how the SoundCloud player works within this plugin. They may need to change their permissions to allow people to embed that player.
