SoundCloud music integration bugs feedback dudu 3.6

Ryske

I tested the new SoundCloud music integration and this is the bugs :

1-play/stop doesn't work if the app isn't launched manually and initiate play in the app before using dudu add-on.

2-homescreen or player cover keep swinging 20 degree back and forwards no rotation like other music add-on.

Video for bugs report attached

From your description and video, this seems normal. Music plugins can only read standard information from SoundCloud. If SoundCloud is not running, it cannot read the information, so what you see is the song name cached before the last shutdown.
The music widget circle rotates to the left and then immediately returns to normal. This means that it cannot read the music information, right?
From the video, it is unclear whether the music is playing normally or abnormally.

1-music plugins checked with other app integration can start the music. For info SoundCloud is set on auto startup to test and running in background and as I explained and shown in the video music will not start unless it first start on SoundCloud app
Then pause work on the plugin. Not same behaviour from other integration.

2-cover is reading music information but instead of having full rotation like other plugins. Instead its do 35 degree and come back.

PS: SoundCloud was Integrated upon my request on 3.6 and im giving all feedback regarding bugs compared to other apps existing plugins

Can the SoundCloud app be set to play automatically after startup?
If SoundCloud is not playing, it cannot connect its focus to the system media channel. If it has been played and manually paused, it will still be in media focus, so the plugin can control it.
The control buttons for the music plugin are actually standard Android key values.

So if they are standard android. They should play once the app is started or running in the background. Test on any android version this is how it works.

But yes i agree that it cannot lanch the app unless its SoundCloud widget itself.

Ryske All you need to do is grab the media spotlight from SoundCloud, and you can control it. Desktop music plug-ins can only control audio applications in the media channel.
