Track search issue

Post by babe »

I used the comment function by searching the tracks, it keeps commenting on tracks that are years old while I set the date to be last_hour.

Is this a bug? Or because soundcloud's recent update.

Just confirm direct messaging is the same, would find years old tracks instead of 'last_hour' as required.

Rolling back to an old version didn't help, maybe it is an issue caused by the recent update of SC?

After running a few tests, it becomes clear that

1) setting any search term and conditions such as name and genre will screw up the time, SCM will comment on random tracks regardless of the time they are added resulting in commenting years old tracks

2) this works fine when specify time_added only without any name and genre given

Please fix!

It only works for the first few comments, then it get years old tracks the same.

Seems to be a soundcloud bug

here is a result set:
"created_at":"2017-06-06T15:51:24Z",
"permalink_url":"https://soundcloud.com/maartenvandervleuten/alaska",
check the date, was uploaded today (last_day filter)

BUT, check the webpage
https://soundcloud.com/maartenvandervleuten/alaska

says 10 years ago!


also go to soundcloud and perform the search, when you scroll down, you will see tracks labelled as 2 years / 4 years!


I imagine they will fix it in the next few days

It definitely is something wrong about SoundCloud. After looking into it further, those tracks appear to be actually years old, and all of them are spa, relaxing, meditation and therapy kind of music. Somehow SoundCloud's search engine is filled with these tracks. And these accounts don't appear to be active at all (no wonder my conversion rate drops significantly). Very funny business, hope they would fix it soon.

This doesn't make sense as all those tracks are very similar, maybe SoundCloud is being attacked (hacked) by someone?
