private -> public track doesn't add to facebook feed properly
Sorry, I don't think I'll be very articulate about this, but whatever function it is that spawns Soundcloud posts to Facebook seems to have a small glitch in it. When I post a track privately and then switch it to public, it seems to break the link on Facebook. That is to say, switching a track from Private to Public posts a notice to Facebook, but the facebook notice does not link to the specific track. Rather, it links to Soundcloud's homepage.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Hi m50,
does the facebook post look like the attached screenshot?
The "soundcloud.com" link should actually link to your track page, it just displays soundcloud.com.
Can you check that in your posts?
The problem is when posting something to facebook their bot tries to access the track/set page to get the metadata, artwork, etc. this fails often due to a timeout problem. if that happens it will only show a post, looking like the attached screenshot.
i've already contacted facebook to resolve this issue, but still waiting for
an answer.
If I get any news I'll post them here.
Cheers
Johannes
PS: In case the link is really broken, can you please send me the link to the specific track?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?No, the link isn't really broken - it is just as you described. I suppose it is a Facebook problem, they don't seem responsive at all so I can understand your dilemma. In any case, the Soundcloud "push" feature is a really nice addition!
I’m thankful
