Autoplay track on load of embedded player from URI/URL
Mr. Magoo
track in the set?
For example:
The set player is embedded on mypage.html @ mydomain.com.
I can send people to http://mydomain.com/mypage.html and they will get
the default player loaded to the latest track in a set.
Can I pass a command to the embedded player from the url to autoplay a
track in the set?
Something like:
http://mydomain.com/mypage.html?command=trackid
I know I can send people to individual tracks at soundcloud.com; but
in this case it would be best to have people coming to my domain
instead of soundcloud.com, and I'm trying to avoid setting up a new
blog just for soundcloud postings.
Thanks for any help,
- Cory

yes you can! Pelase try combining two options - auto_play and
start_track, e.g. like
<iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no"
src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F1045510&show_artwork=true&auto_play=true&start_track=5"></iframe>
more info about the widget options can be found here:
http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/widget

Mr. Magoo
I would like to pass the command to play a specific track from the url/
uri that a user enters so that an embedded player will play the track
that I specify.
For example I can share http://domain.com/page.html?command=1234 with
someone and the page will load the embedded player to track-id 1234.

here's a short jQuery script that I've written that wil generate an
auto-playing soundcloud widget based on the track_id value passed in
the url:
https://gist.github.com/1779157
Let me know if that works ok for you!

Mr. Magoo
Two quick questions though..
1) Where do I find my track IDs?
2) So I'll pass my track id from the url to the jquery function you've
created.. something like: mydomain.com/mypage.html?trackid=1234, and
your function will take "trackid" ?

what data about the sound do you have available? do you have their
SoundCloud url?
then, the script should be updated. This version would accept both
urls like http://example.com/mytracks?track_id=3223234 or
http://example.com/mytracks?track_url=http://soundcloud.com/matas/hobnotropic

yes, that's the idea - you pass the value in the url and the script
reads that out and generates a widget for that sound.

Mr. Magoo
But, should I have the player widget code already present on the page
in div for the jquery code to modify?
Yes... Obviously I'm a bit new to jQuery...
Thanks for all of the assistance!

no, you only need an empty div where the embed code will be rendered
by the script:
<div id="player"></div>
so the 4 components that need to be there:
1. page has to be called with a track_id or track_url parameter
2. page code needs to contain the empty div with an id "player"
3. page code needs to have jQuery.js embedded somehow
4. page needs to contain the script I've written
If these all are fulfilled, you should see a playing widget on a page load.
In case you have a problem, please post a url of your page, so we
could have a look at it.

Mr. Magoo
I got this all working.
I'll admit I wish I could have this kind of functionality on the Set
Player rather than having to load individual tracks. But I guess that
is a limitation of the Set vs. Individual track Players...
Thanks for all of the great help!
