Offtopic: Extract thumbnail from Soundcloud
-
Just for documentation purposes I wanted to post the code I used to add Soundcloud thumbnail grabbing to this plugin:
1. As I have the URL in a separte field () I only check with preg_match if it contains the string soundcloud.com:
preg_match( '/soundcloud.com/', $content, $soundcloud_matches ) )2. In case it matches, I first get the track ID from the URL and then the artwork_url:
elseif ($soundcloud_matches) { $url = "https://api.soundcloud.com/resolve.json?url=".$content."&client_id=XXX"; $track_json = file_get_contents($url); $track = json_decode($track_json); $video_thumbnail_url = str_replace("large", "crop", $track->artwork_url); }https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-featured-images-from-videos/

Hi Gerital,
Could you please elaborate a little more on where to add this code to get the thumbnail from SoundCloud?
I’ve tried hacking into the plugin file but I can’t seem to get it to work.
Does the code go into this bit?
if ( $youtube_id ) { // Check to see if our max-res image exists. $remote_headers = wp_remote_head( 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $youtube_id . '/maxresdefault.jpg' ); $is_404 = ( 404 === wp_remote_retrieve_response_code( $remote_headers ) ); $video_thumbnail_url = ( ! $is_404 ) ? 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $youtube_id . '/maxresdefault.jpg' : 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $youtube_id . '/hqdefault.jpg'; }
