[0.13.0.0] Nightclub soundcloud music stops after 1 minute

When sitting in the nightclub, youtube plays all fine, 0 issues
When a SoundCloud file plays, audio goes away after 1 minute
All lights/enviroment changes stop/pause, and will not come back

There is a known issue if you enter the nightclub halfway into a soundcloud song, it’ll only play the first half of the song. We are working on resolving this with the Soundcloud API. It’s a limitation with syncing the audio streams.

I havent noticed that one personally,
The one i am reporting happens even if you are there from the start(Thats why i reported it)
I just checked again (0.13.0.1) Still has it
No matter what song plays on Soundcloud, it stops half way,
Ive asked other people and friends, they dont seem to have said issues, which is so strange

Another user (Going by the name @gamenerdz on the forum) Messaged me with the same issue, he included a video(which i didnt, sorry about that)

The user above went to an empty lobby, put in soundcloud, after a minute it died, which is the exact issue i am having

We are having same issue. Once a soundcloud song starts it stops and doesn’t resume. Youtube videos work fine.

Does it happen after a consistent amount of time for you as well?

It is not stable at 1 minute, i just tried it with 3 different songs, see videos

Thank you for the examples! I’m under the impression that this is a buffering issue, because that is what would happen to the Soundcloud player when I try to play a section of a song that is not yet buffered. This is an issue with an third party plugin we use, which I am in the process of upgrading now. If the upgrade fails, I may just increase the buffer size for Soundcloud playback.

Adding several screenshots of several songs that stopped playing

If this fixes this issue, I love you.

Can I ask when you say

This is an issue with an third party plugin we use, which I am in the process of upgrading now.

is this update backend wise or will we be seeing this fix in a full tower update/bugfix?

This is clientside code, so it will come with an update. It’s responsible for playing the sound from Soundcloud while also calculating the frequency spectrum that we use for the various visual effects in the nightclub.

The plugin update is not going smoothly, so I have only doubled the buffer size for Soundcloud tracks for the next update.
