MIXCLOUD - EMBEDDING MIX CLOUD LIVE STREAM

[cylocarl]

Hello all, as many of you, know I am a MIXCLOUD Pro user, and I am trying to come with a solution to embed the live video stream into my website.
As of now I know of a website with a brilliant script, that only opens the full video if the LIVE stream is ON, otherwise the full video shrinks completely under the website menu. (main front page)
the website I am referring to is www.kioskradio.com

Have any of you successfully embeded MIXCLOUD LIVE VIDEO STREAM into a website or know of someone with the skills to do it?

OBS should work on a native embbeding script that will take the software to the next level.

Thanks You all. _ Cylo Carl

Hi! Currently it is not possible to embed MixCloud into anything. They simply do not support it yet, as it is in beta. It will be released in a future version of MixCloud. I do know that they use m3u8 streams. Unfortunately you can't do anything with these streams (not even build your own player), as MixCloud actively blocks any use outside their website (CORS).

Thanks, don't know how are this people at KIOSKRADIO.COM capable to accomplished, I being breaking my head for days thinking of any possibilities.
I will have to stop my subscription to find a different solution.

THANKS

Best with an extra laptop with second monitor - open your mixcloud live stream full screen on browser window, add browser into obs as browser or ndi source. Then set up and stream to a server that gives you an m3u8 for your own player, or to another service that allows embeds - add to website. Has extra costs so depends on how much you need to embed your stream on your site.

You can see in the third-party domains loaded by that site that they are using api.mixcloud.com which leads here:

Mixcloud

www.mixcloud.com

and has a section on embedding if that helps at all?

OK, by playing around with the info there I've managed to get this working now, or at least for a standard Mixcloud audio stream. You can load it as a browser source using the following embedded link format:

https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2F[USERNAME]%2F[STREAMNAME]%2F

Where you replace [USERNAME] and [STREAMNAME] to correspond to the stream in question., e.g.:

https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2FDogsandtractors%2Frosmosis-090316%2F

Then you can play the stream in OBS by right-clicking in the frame → Interact, and then clicking on the play button.

Hopefully that helps you or someone else at least!

Great work Ishatix.

I wonder if there is a similar solution for the live stream page where the URL is something like this:
https : //www. mixcloud. com /live/ [USERNAME]

Thank you for sharing.

Hi
Kiosk radio are using Video JS to embed their live et put some plug in on, but i can't really figure how for the moment.
If you have any idea :)

 

[luc_odc]

is there any news about this ?
Maybe someone who have use video js ?

 

[wimpsociety]

what Radio Kiosk said to me is this, and that does not mean I actually know what they meant

We duplicate our (website) video stream to the Mixcloud adress.

Our service allows, like Restream.io for ex. To duplicate our videostream to multiple extra destinations: Mixcloud, YouTube etc…

This is something I've wondered myself after coming across this website. I think the site has changed since this thread opened, because from their response above they seem to be saying that Mixcloud is an 'extra destination', which makes me think that their site is no longer embedding their Mixcloud livestream. On inspecting the site I no longer see references to Mixcloud. Maybe they now pay a license to be able to host the video themselves? Not sure how else it could work. I wish Mixcloud allowed to embed a stream but their FAQ just states "Embedding the stream on a different site is something that we are working on, but it's not currently possible". Maybe one day!

I doubt the problem for Mixcloud is the embedding, that's easy. I'm sure this comes down to the licensing.

I've subscribed to VIMEO for my live streams, although it's quite pricey. Despite the cost, I've committed to a full year and am satisfied. However, today, on January 9, 2024, I've started a year with MixCloud Pro in hopes of finding the embedding feature, but I'm still unable to locate it. You can check my website at https://sensorialradio.net.

VIMEO's embedding and its multi-platform streaming option work seamlessly for me, despite the high cost. Now, I'm planning to also stream to MIXCLOUD, lets see how that works.

Thank you all for your input, I really appreciated.
