Hello fellow Banshee users, I'd like to make available a small extension I've written for Banshee that lets you stream a SoundCloud artist's tracks. Its a first release and quite basic but I would like to see how useful it would be for people. I love exploring SoundCloud and finding new artists but I quickly become frustrated with their in-browser player which, IMO, suffers from poor interface design and intermittent dropouts in the stream. I'm surprised at the 'barrier of entry' for writing an extension for Banshee, there seems to be very little devekioer documentation and how-to's out there to guide newbies through the jungle of code. Not that the code layout is without rhyme or reason but it felt like trying to move my way around a new city without any street signs to guide me or any sense of municipalities/regions. All I could scroung up were these two URLs: http://www.paulcutler.org/blog/?p=1264 and http://banshee-media-player.2283330.n4.nabble.com/How-to-write-my-first-Plugin-td2982966.html Under the hood it grabs all the streaming URLs for each track and stores them as radio streams. Grab the source code and/or DLL for the extension here: https://github.com/squamous/banshee-soundcloud-extension Thanks :) |
