More help needed with some code (paging rasteri!)

[Steve]

Mixcloud have changed their embed code, so the automatic embedding no longer works on DV. I'm trying to figure out the new code, but I can't get it to work.

 

Here's the regex: -

http(s)?://www.mixcloud.com/{1}/{2}/

And here's some example embed code using a link to one of my mixes (copy and paste it into Notepad so you can read it easier): -

XL-FM Guest Mix by Sigma on  Mixcloud

The latter part of the code creates links to the mix on Mixcloud underneath the player, so that's not needed as the embedded player includes that anyway. Really it's just the part up to and including that's required, but I can't figure out the replacement match code.

 

Any ideas?

 

Perhaps it's this that's the problem: -

embed_uuid=15c32cbf-4581-41ab-979b-f2d3af455ff2

I assume that's a unique string, but if so I don't see how it's possible to do this given that only the information in the URL can be parsed.

It is a unique string but I've just tested it and it's not mandatory to include it in the iframe parameters.

 

Is the regex not matching at all, or is it extracting the wrong info? Can I see what substitution string you're using?

I've deleted it now, as it didn't work, but basically I just put "www.mixcloud.com/$1/$2/" in place of the part that references my specific mix. I also tried removing the unique string code, but that didn't work either. In both cases the player embedded, but it just said "we can't find that specific sound" or something like that, so the player wasn't linking to the mix correctly.

[Guest rasteri]

Maybe you tried this already, but you need to put "%2F"s in place of the slashes in the substitution string, i.e. :

<iframe src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2F$1%2F$2%2F" frameborder="0" height="360" width="660"></iframe>

If that still doesn't work, can you post the HTML it generates so we can have a look?

[Steve]

That results in a player being embedded, but it just says "Sorry we can't find that content", which is the same error message I was getting. I don't know how I can see what HTML is being generated.

Just view the source of the page in your browser, then search for "iframe" so you jump to the right bit.
