Yep sure am... Parallels.

Well damn... just found this... https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39855/soundcloud-downloader Works REALLY nicely. Still interested to see what anyone else comes up with but this is a wicked awesome solution for me.

Wow you guys are awesome. I've been wishing I could bulk download from soundcloud for ages, I shoulda dropped by sooner!

Hmmmm... I don't see streamUrl anywhere in the source, even viewing the generated source in Web Developer. So yeah, if you wouldn't mind whipping that up, I'd definitely appreciate it!

That's very awesome of you. Though I suppose this means you're not living up to your name. Thanks!

I was thinking of building this myself just for the fun of it, but frankly I don't have the time and this is just something for my personal use anyway and doesn't need to be really sophisticated. Was wondering if anyone would be open to building this for me... All I really want to be able to do is open a page on SoundCloud, and scrape the soundfiles on it to a selected directory. Maybe specify a maximum number to scrape, starting from the first file on the page... but that's pretty much it. I find a lot of music on there available to download to my iTunes library, but it's so tedious to d

Just getting back to this thread. My problem with using scrape attribute is that it scrapes ONE attribute, not a table of attributes. For the time being I'm scraping 3 different attributes into 3 different lists, then cycling through them each in turn and hoping everything stays in sync. It's pretty stupid frankly and is a crappy workaround, especially when scraping tables is such a basic thing. I'm quite in agreement with Cloakmaster... features were removed that used to be standard, and that by any reasonable person's expectations, would be included in even the most base level o the prod

I think it might have been needing to use a Wait For Page to Load rather than a Wait For Everything to Load. Changed that and it seems to be happier... will keep an eye on it though.

I'm not sure what the problem is here, but I have a consistent crash behavior when looping through a particular list of links, to post them to twitter and return a list of all the resulting shortened twitter links. So far on multiple occasions, I've received an error when it reaches the same point in the list. I get an actual cryptic UBot error message that says something about an incorrect object reference, and I'm given the choice of stopping the script, or continuing. If I continue, the script continues to do its business just fine, however at each loop I get the same error, a couple o

Very nice Kevin, thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks guys! Only thing is, I'm not looking for a true "round", but for a "round down". For instance I'd want to round 2.8 down to 2. Any pointers?

Yep... very confusingly named. Add a list to a list when I don't yet have a list? HUH?!?! LOL But, it worked.

In searching the forum I only found things that were clearly for much older versions. So in UBot 4, how can we go about rounding a calculation? My application: I'm posting links somewhere and it supports only 20 at a time. But I may have an arbitrary number to post, so I loop through the process of posting 20 links, but I need to know how many times to loop, up front. I can figure this out by taking X number of links, divided by 20. But now say I have 50 links, that's 2.5 times. I'm fine with just truncating down to only 2 times. I don't need to get every last link. How can I round

And once again, posting that I'm stuck, has caused me to solve the problem. I was using Add Item to List, rather than Add List to List. Working now!

I'm trying to parse a list of image URLs that I'm scraping from Google images. That part all works fine, I get the list, save it to a file, all looks good. But then I create a $list from file and for some reason I can't figure out, it's always just one giant element, as opposed to the separate lines i see in my text file (or when I use an alert to display the contents of the list). What am I doing wrong here? I even tried doing a $list from text and specifying $new line as the delimeter in case it would help, but no change. So the initial contents are written to the file without any is

That's why I always make sure to look in one more place after I find something.

I feel obligated to add, that nowhere (that I can see anyway) is scraping of tables indicated as not a standard feature. From the UBot website: Nothing about it being "pro" only, and no other mention on any of the comparison tables about it not being available as standard. If this is indeed not available in the basic version, it REALLY needs to be explicitly stated somewhere. This is such a basic fundamental feature, frankly I can't see UBot even being terribly useful without it (unless there's some elegant workaround but even then... workarounds are usually fairly clunky).

SERIOUSLY!?!?!? When I "upgraded" I *lost* the ability to scrape a table?!??! OMFG. Makes me wonder what on earth I've been paying $5/month for all this time. Not that it's a lot of money, it's the principle. Wow. OK so... if this is a "pro" feature (and really, how is scraping a table not an absolute totally basic feature??) and I don't have it, how would I go about scraping results out of a table so that I can loop through them for manipulation? Thanks!

OK well as long as we're on the subject of missing features... where's Scrape Table?? I'm trying to do exactly what is in this tutorial: But clearly it's for an older version of UBot. I have no "Scrape" functions of any kind in the Commands section. Did Scrape Table get hidden somewhere?

I've been away from UBot for some time, but tonight something came past me that just begs for a UBot to be whipped up. So, I start whipping... and things have changed a lot! For starters, I can't for the life of me find the Scrape Attribute function. Where did it go? Am I just blind and it's staring me in the face?? I've gone through every single Parameter list item and, I swear it's not in there. Hoping someone can point it out to me... thanks! EDIT: Oh good grief... it WAS staring me right in the face. Sigh... I blame the time change. It's under "Browser Functions" in case anyo

Ahhh ok, sorry I was misunderstanding. I thought that was just some generic download code, didn't realize it had actually been tested on the site in question (since it's a pay site I didn't think anyone would likely be able to truly test it). Also since I wasn't able to download the file manually, and UBot couldn't either when it pressed the download button in a script (not using your exact code example however), it stood to reason that it simply couldn't do it for whatever reason. Anyway I may give this a try sometime... I moved on to other things. Thanks all for the help though! Jonat

Try that code how exactly? I'm talking about not being able to even download with a physical push of the button in the UBot browser. I'm not even dealing with coding issues, just getting the UBot browser to be able to download in the first place. Download speed isn't an issue as I'm on 105MBit, but all I can ever get is the same empty 1k file from UBot (and only UBot). Jonathan

But that's my just my point - there is no script required. Just open the UBot browser, manually log into www.videoblocks.com and try to download a clip. This has nothing at all to do with any bot, it's an issue with the browser in general. Jonathan

Does anyone in formal UBot support have any idea what's going on here? It certainly seems to be a bug/issue with the browser itself since it doesn't involve any botting at all. I was excited to get back into using UBot again and this was such a perfect job for it, but now I'm going to have to throw in the towel if nobody knows a solution. Jonathan

Yes that's my experience as well. No issue pushing the download button anywhere, except UBot - the ONE place I most would like to be able to push it. Jonathan
