Admin Screen v1.04
Welcome to VisualSound, the WordPress (MU compatible) plug-in with built-in SoundCloud & VisualDreams support.
After searching for a long time on the Internet, I’ve not found any clue for any SoundCloud widget available; so I’ve started development of VisualSound; which is currently in use at some of the Wildchild pages. The applet has a natural interfacing towards SoundCloud & other multimedia providers.
Later support will include direct API support towards SoundCloud and VisualDreams/VisualMix.
The configuration screen allows easy access to a few applet options, available to the users convenience.
* (this SoundCloud widget should autostart!)
WARNING !!!
v1.10+: The standard soundcloud URL can be used as command like {soundcloud play url} and {soundcloud autoplay url}.
pre-v1.0: This plug-in has been simplified with commands.
- Double check your previous posts/page syntax if you upgrade from pre-v1.0!
- Disable/Re-enable plug-in for full support to upgrade from pre-v1.0!
- For Soundcloud: use [keyword] soundcloud and [provider] soundcloud in the configuration screen!
- If your plug-in does not work, try as [provider] beta
Old syntax: [visualsound username mode location] – New syntax: [keyword mode username location]
Newest Syntax: [keyword mode url] where keyword is soundcloud for SoundCloud!

Open Source
The world wouldn’t turn around if we wouldn’t atleast give a little bit credit to our co-workers, right? The ArtistPlug.ME network is more-or-less built upon existing Open Source software, glued together by Freaking Wildchild to one collective part, ready to be there for the common artist!
Of’course there is no off-the-shelf software available for the network which ArtistPlug.ME wants to be, since audio/video has been just coming thru the sundawn through youtube, google video, vimeo and all other alternatives and mirrors available on the Internet. A lot of tools are available alike these, but none are really targeted to the common audio-visual artist.
ArtistPlug.ME currently uses the following tools (and not limited to):
- Linux
- PHP
- Perl, CPAN modules and golden Perlmonks advice
- VisualDreams engine (written in Perl by Freaking Wildchild)
- Apache 1.3 and 2
- mySQL
- FFmpegX for on-the-fly conversion
- WordPress MU (BuddyPress and VisualDreams enhanced) with plugins:
- Inkscape and Scribus for site and logodesign
- MP3tag, Winamp, Cooledit PRO and Audigy for audio editing
- Brainpower, milk, cookies and lot’s more that isn’t open source yet! (can only wish!)
Big thanks go to those and lots more who has been actively contributing to the Open Source world!
