soundnode-app How to avoid the 15K play limit

I am a developer and I have run into problems with soundcloud in the past. I came to soundnode to see how the API limits were dealt with here, however I realised the same issues occur.

I worked around the API limits by using the embed SoundCloud player. Here's what I did in my application:

I created an embed player with the URL requested to be played. Set the player to hidden, and used my own media controls to control the hidden embed player. So I used my own facing to control a hidden SoundCloud embed player.

You need the player https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url= and the track permalink_url. Unfortunately I don't develop in the language soundnode is written in so I can't contribute to improving.

@dblythy thanks a lot for this feedback.. this is definitely going to be helpful and I will take a look with more detail.

@weblancaster only thing is, as soundcloud use multiple resolve steps to get the stream_url, it takes longer to load than the native api. But still beats nothing.

~~I'm curious why is 15k? Don't you login the user? Why not use their rate limits? Sorry but I'm not familiar with the SoundCloud limits and didn't look the code here.~~

Damn, see that it is for each user! That's okey, probably, i'll try. :D But i believe it's not correct to say "15 000 tracks", cuz it may have more requests per track page.

What about allowing each user to enter his own Soundcloud API key? I know it doesn't sound like a good long-term idea, but for techy users or with a good tutorial, I guess it could do the trick for now

EDIT:

sorry, already in https://github.com/Soundnode/soundnode-app/issues/998
