I turned on debug logging and can see that it is getting back a

So I guess MixCloud have changed their API or they have a temporary

So brand new install will get 0.1.6 but if you already have 0.1.5
installed - LMS will think there is no new version.

You do not need to download the .xml file
What you need to do is tell LMS, via its web interface, where to find
the .xml

I think I found the problem. In the custom-convert.conf I was using
$FILE$ instead of $URL - this is OK for transcoding files but not
streams with URLs. Luckily ffmpeg can handle the "file://" URL type so
MP4 transcoding of files is not broken by adding support for MP4
streams.
Can you test.
yeah i have the latest Plugin V01.5 & always play MP4, MPEG 4 AAC set to
Native...but Transporter wont play Mixcloud, Touch plays it with no
problems though!

Back to a previous post on if its essential or not; I had a Touch in my

I don't use these services - my interest came from enabling the
transcoding of streamed MP4 from other sources besides podcasts.

The mixcloud plugin doesn't seem to work for me. Yesterday a few mixes
would work - today none - it looks like access is being challenged by
mixcloud authorisation.
Others have had the same issues

The plugin is just ticking over - author says
Looks like Mixcloud plugin only works with "direct" streaming to players
ie. no transcoding.
Not sure if this was because streaming MP4 transcoding was not available
and so not tested or whether the plugin implementation is such that it
cannot support players that cannot play AAC natively.

Interesting custom-convert.conf file.
It has WMA and MOV entries which is a very unusual mix. Any idea how

There is already a custom-convert.conf there ?
If so then it means we can't simply copy the conf file I created.
If a custom-convert.conf file is already there then you have already had
need of support -maybe that's why ffmpeg is already installed.

Good that ffmpeg is installed.
LMS only reads the custom-convert.conf file at start up. If it breaks
something all you need do is rename the file to something differernt ,
restart LMS and all MP4 will be back as before. So it is a simple chnage
to make. The most difficult part is finding
