Not able to import SoundCloud songs

[mky326]

Dear Sinusbot Community,

currently i have a problem with the sinusbot and soundcloud downloads using the webinterface. If I try to add a SoundCloud song to my music library I get the error "could not import file".

yt-dlp on its own works like a charm and is able to download the song using my local shell. Please note: yt-dlp is installed on my server. You may see my config only containing yt-dlp instead of the full path. I ensure you that there is no difference - even if I define the path to the binary.

• Sinus Version: 1.0.0-beta.16-ba60e37
• Discord, no BoomerSpeak
• OS: Debian 11 / Kernel 5.10.0-13-amd64
• Hardware (Dedicated): Intel Xeon E3-1245v2, 32GB RAM 1333 ECC, SSD storage
• Instance log (Mind: I've removed some information e.g: Usernames, IPs and IDs): https://pastebin.com/rrNqmgXk
• Config: https://pastebin.com/2qiDrGSv
• Diag Script: https://pastebin.com/2RVfYNn3
• Command forwarded from Sinus to yt-dlp: python3 /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp -i --no-playlist --no-call-home -J -x https://soundcloud.com/sideform/depeche-mode-personal-jesus
  • Output: https://pastebin.com/LyqPL9ua

The amazing thing is that the url to the actual audio file is correctly parsed by yt-dlp in the json output. The same behaviour has been tested with the official SinusBot Docker image and the Pterodactyl counterpart. For the sake of easy troubleshooting this instance has been installed on the host system. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance

Fixed it ""myself"" . Found something interesting on Github, all credit goes to this genius:
https://gist.github.com/elderlabs/51e8e25ca8e85228ffd5e2de7b9b748b

Steps:

• Download the .py file from Github
• Stop your bot
• Change the YoutubeDLPath in the Sinus config to include ytdl_wrapper.py
• Start your bot
• Enjoy importing music from SoundCloud

Just came here to say thank you! I've been having issues with yt-dlp not playing a couple of songs and simply giving a non-descript "could not play file"-error.
But I also had a few issues trying to run the wrapper because I didn't have the request-module installed, which the wrapper-script requires.
So if anyone else wants to try this, make sure to first read everything on this page to get yt-dlp working and once that's done, follow the steps mky326 outline but before starting your bot run apt-get install python3-pip and then run python3 -m pip install requests.
You might also have to make the wrapper-script executable.
Hope this helps someone else out

Can I use Soundcloud on MacOS? Download SoundCloud to MP3 https://soundcloudmp3downloader.com/en/

Most likely, this has to do with technical work on SoundCloud promotion. Now I have everything working without problems. Songs are imported.
