Thank you for packaging the non-VCS soundcloud-dl, @fordperfect! Would you be interested in co-maintaining the dependencies I listed below? Right now, soundcloud-dl and this package are their only dependents, I guess.

@tyrannis.hawk: This is a vcs package, recognizable from the -git suffix, and thus does not respect release versions but builds from the git tip instead. Also, you need to rebuild vcs-packages yourself to get the latest version. I have packaged the releases for your convenience though…

I updated the PKGBUILD to version 2.6.2, here's the diff:

This includes the new dependencies python-soundcloud-v2 and python-pathvalidate. I uploaded PKGBUILDs for each to the AUR; anyone interested in co-maintaining these, please message me.

Version 2.4.0 has been released on 28 Dec 2021.

nvm my comment i added python-pathvalidate because it gave me such error.. dont know if that needed , pip install soundcloud-v2 did work for me.

i added python-soundcloud-git and python-validate

now i get :

from soundcloud import (BasicAlbumPlaylist, BasicTrack, MiniTrack, SoundCloud, ImportError: cannot import name 'BasicAlbumPlaylist' from 'soundcloud' (/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/soundcloud/init.py)

now i am lost ion a depency i gues ? above it was missing rest idk..

@M0Rf30

Thanks for cleaning up the PKGBUILD. I've tested and can also confirm that it works.

@m040601: You could easily have done it yourself, but I've done it for you. You are welcome.

I am also looking for a soundcloud downloader that works similar to youtube-dl.

This tool seems worth testing.

I was trying this PKGBUILD and stopped when it tried to pull python2. It's not a dependency, it's a make dependency. So I could remove it later. But still, I dont want to see any hint of python2 on my system. So I stopped.

It seems the "culprit" is python-fudge" which wants to pull python2-setuptools:

Now python-fudge is completely abandoned and was last modified in 2018:

I understand very little of python and maintaining PKGBUILDS. I read in the README mention of ffmpeg required. And I see in the source repo "setup.py" file:

    install_requires=[
        'docopt',
        'mutagen',
        'termcolor',
        'requests',
        'clint'

So I dont understand why fudge, certif, simplejson and python-soundcloud-git are needed in this PKGBUILD:

Depends On      : python-certifi  python-clint  python-docopt  python-fudge
                  python-mutagen  python-simplejson  python-soundcloud-git
                  python-termcolor  python-requests

Is it really the case ?

So is there any chance the maintainer of this PKGBUILD could check out this issue, and make it so that python2 is not needed, not even as a make dependency ? Check the source/upstream to see if it is still really needed ? Replace python fudge ? Adopt it ?

Thanks in advance.

this tool still works and it's great
