962650 - SoundCloud API appears to be reporting invalid duration

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Popcorn Maker, defect)

Description

[Matthew Schranz [:mjschranz]]

This is causing tracks to be incorrectly reported in their duration and have clips much shorter than they actually are.

For example:

https://soundcloud.com/a-jameshetfield/metallica-nothing-else-matters // Reports 1:49
http://soundcloud.com/vithaya/interview // Reports 1:00

Comment 1

[Matt Price]

in the two cases being reported, the metadata returned does not match the clip being requested.  Instead, the metadata belongs to an older clip belonging to another user whose title (terminal element of URL) is identical to the requested clip's:  

the url requested was: 
https://soundcloud.com/macthesavage/interview  

info returned was for:

http://soundcloud.com/vithaya/interview

etc.

Nope, bug on our end. It's simply because we aren't using their API optimally.

Fix inc.

Weird that the other way doesn't work, but not really worth fussing over.
