Play Action Failing

[Quality1]

Strange error I'm getting when trying to create a Plays actions.

Code: Select all

Scraping track details :https://soundcloud.com/artist-name/song-name
* Problem extracting details for track: https://soundcloud.com/artist-name/song-name Status: -1
* UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURRED - see logs for more info.
If the problem continues, please submit logs to support.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I have submitted logs59818 for this error.

What is strange is that I run multiple instances of SCM, and it's only happening on one specific instance. All instances are the same update version.

Hi Martin -- can you suggest a course of action for me? Play actions still won't work on this one instance of SCM.

Am I forced to uninstall and re-install?

-1 indicates no response from server, no network.

Is it a new machine? If so, check the FIREWALL allows the program in and out.

What OS are you using?

It seems like something on your machine is blocking the running of the program

Please check your anti virus / security software and make sure the applications program files folder:

c:\program files (x86)\APP_NAME

is whitelisted and / or all the .exe and .dlls in that folder.

I've had this VPS for nearly 2.5 years now. No changes have been made.

It should be noted that the VPS IP address is blocked from accessing Soundcloud.com (likely from excess scraping from over the years)

Does the "Help > Config > Default proxy" feature still work as it should? ie. when scraping song details for the Plays module?

I have uninstalled / re-installed SCM, doesn't fix the issue.

I believe SCM is trying to scrape Soundcloud without using the Default Proxy function.
Please look into this ASAP, it has rendered one of my licenses/servers useless!

Just a little bit of potentially important information

This could be the cause

yes, this should force all non-proxied calls through the default proxy (example when you add a track to the plays tab and it checks if valid)

[martin@rootjazz]

confirmed, before the plays start a local IP call is made to check the current #plays and again afterwards, I guess this is crashing you out. Will sort for nextupdate

The next update will fix this. I shall let you know when it is ready.

I tried downloading the new update, but it doesn't work - it just takes me to the homepage.
