SoundCloud track not playing in BAS (with Fingerprint) but works in real Chrome

[proseco91]

Hi,

I am experiencing an issue when trying to play a SoundCloud track in Browser Automation Studio.

Test link:
https://soundcloud.com/kenbernier/ethereal-journey

Environment:

BAS version: 30
FingerprintSwitcher: Enabled (using fp.bablosoft.com)
Proxy: Yes

Issue:

When running the script in BAS, clicking the play button does not start the audio.
Sometimes the player automatically skips to another track.
No visible error is shown.

However:

When I open the same link in a real Chrome browser (same proxy, same account), the track plays normally without any issue.

Additional tests:

navigator.requestMediaKeySystemAccess exists
requestMediaKeySystemAccess('com.widevine.alpha') returns OK
But actual playback still fails in BAS

Expected behavior:

The track should play normally after clicking play, same as in Chrome.

Actual behavior:

Audio does not start or gets skipped.

Question:
Does BAS Chromium fully support Widevine / DRM playback for services like SoundCloud?
Or is this a limitation of the embedded browser engine?

Any solution or workaround would be appreciated.

Thank you.

@proseco91 I checked it on my old Script and on some of the First two Accounts - Cookies, it also wouldn’t let me listen and then the left one would turn on, and then the Robot would say something and there would be an error sign.

But now, again, even a long time ago, I even found Cookie, and there, too, on the first one, it just didn’t let me dry it.
And for the rest everything is fine.
And even an invalid Cookie was caught and without an Account it allowed me to listen to one :)

Apparently they haven’t yet turned on the protection like Spotify has :)))

Hey, do you happen to have any solution or workaround for this issue? I noticed that it works fine when I try it in a real browser, but it doesn’t work when running through BAS (Browser Automation Studio). Have you experienced the same or found a fix?

Honestly, I’m not sure what the exact root cause is yet. But from my testing, when I use real browsers like Firefox or Chrome, the track plays normally. However, when I run it through BAS or other Chromium-based environments, it doesn’t play at all.
I hope you can help me with this issue.

I also gave a link to a topic where the BAS developer says that this cannot be done and explained why

@Fox

It seems like the issue is indeed related to Widevine :(

@proseco91 Well, I’m saying that on some Accounts it doesn’t allow me to listen,
And on most of them, even Old and New Cookies, I looked and you can see in the Screenshot that wiretapping is going on.
There, in fact, they draw their own Canvas in Prints, it’s not big, it’s true, but it’s still there.
Although I tried it on Free Prints.
Well, a larger Percentage still allows you to listen.

I was thinking about registering several new accounts tomorrow and checking it out on the new Autoregs :)

I remembered that the Script had been lying around for almost a year, I made it for one on order and tested it on it.

@cruxxx

Wow, is it that when you choose the fingerprint, you select Android instead of Chrome?
Or could you guide me on how to do it?

Thank you so much!

[proseco91]

@cruxxx

Also, are you able to play music using this link: https://soundcloud.com/kenbernier/ethereal-journey

Thank you so much!

@proseco91

Yes set the fingerprint key to "android".

i had bas sign in with accounts and open your link but it didnt click play cause i have it set to play playlists and the play buttoon is in different place

But def get a premium fingerprint key and set it to "android", it should work

[proseco91]

@cruxxx

Thank you for your reply.

However, I already purchased the premium fingerprint version and changed the fingerprint key to "android", but when I click on a song, it does not play the selected song. Instead, it switches to a different song.

The same action works correctly on real browsers, so it seems to only happen with this browser/fingerprint setup.
