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

Support
  • 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.
