I have been discussing this topic on another forum and no one could actually help, let's see if someone here can.
I Have a Problem with the URI you get from the Soundcloud Api to play a song. On my dekstop this Command:
mediaelement.Source = new Uri("https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/218090824/stream?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID");
mediaelement.Play();
works just fine, on the PI it doesn't at all, no clue why.
I have a workaround for now which looks like this:
Uri turi = new Uri("https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/218090824/stream?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID");
IRandomAccessStreamReference rsr = RandomAccessStreamReference.CreateFromUri(turi);
PBar.Visibility = Windows.UI.Xaml.Visibility.Visible;
StorageFile file1 = await StorageFile.CreateStreamedFileFromUriAsync("test mp3", turi, rsr);
IRandomAccessStream stream = await file1.OpenReadAsync();
PBar.Visibility = Windows.UI.Xaml.Visibility.Collapsed;
mediaElement.PosterSource = img;
mediaElement.SetSource(stream, "audio/mp3");
mediaElement.Play();
The Problem here is that the files are being downloaded before they are played, this is not a problem if the songfile is <10 mb but with mixtapes >100 mb this takes a long time. So Is it somehow possible to get an IRandomAccessStream from the URI which can be played while being downloaded?
This Solution:
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync("https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/218090824/stream?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID", HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead);
HttpResponseMessage rs = await httpClient.GetAsync(response.RequestMessage.RequestUri, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead);
Stream stream = await rs.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
IRandomAccessStream content = stream.AsRandomAccessStream();
mediaElement.SetSource(content, "audio/mpeg");
doesn't work because I get an error when i want to convert the Stream to IRandomAccessStream which says: ""Cannot use the specified Stream as a Windows Runtime IRandomAccessStream because this Stream does not support seeking."
