SoundCloud Control for Chrome - Play/Prev/Next, Display current track in notification, Search

  SoundCloud Control for Chrome

 

 

Inspired (err, mostly stolen) by Google Play Control for Chrome.

It can change playback, display the current playing song in a notification, and search through soundcloud, all from alfred.

 

Commands

• scp 
  SoundCloud  - Play/Pause
• sc prev
  SoundCloud - Previous Song
• sc next
  SoundCloud - Next Song
• sc np
  SoundCloud - Show what's playing now
• sc search
  Search SoundCloud
   

Alternative version

Currently it has the same bug as GPC which is that you can't have more than 1 tab of the website opened.

I prefer this myself because the whole point of why I made this is so I don't have to switch back to the SC tab again.

However, if you'd prefer it to only have it search through the first active tab of each window rather than each tab of each window, then I made a alternative version for you.

Normal version (searches through all tabs of all windows)

Works swimmingly, thank you!! It'd be cool to have a Download Current Track too but I won't be greedy

I have Soundcloud running inside a Fluid App. (https://fluidapp.com/)

 

How would I tweak it so search through those windows?

 

(Also, how can I debug this myself to rework it in the future, i.e. see if the application and window commands are working... where the issue is.)

 

This doesn't work:

 

on alfred_script(q)
    tell application "Soundcloud"
        tell window 1
            tell active tab
                execute javascript ("document.querySelector('.playControl').click();")
            end tell
        end tell

   end tell
end alfred_script

No, it wouldn't. This workflow is for Chrome, but Fluid builds browsers based on WebKit (Safari).

 

Safari doesn't have the same AppleScript API as Chrome, so you will have to adjust the script accordingly.

I've installed this flow and enabled it but can't get it to run. When I enter the commands, nothing happens. 

Anything I might be doing wrong?

Same here. Tried regular and alternative version. Any updates?
