Fixed Soundcloud embed for private tracks

[Mr Lucky]

Soundcloud allows private tracks, ie they are only available by the URL, not in your list of tracks. They still offer an embed code, so shouldn't they embed in xenforo just as with a public soundcloud track?

The answer is really "it depends". Soundcloud uses oEmbed for embedding, so the HTML we receive mostly comes from them. Do you have an example that isn't working?

This might be a bug in our Soundcloud embed code, as it's not using the trailing code. I'll move this to bugs, though I don't know what will happen.

Also, if I cross my fingers and paste the original private URL from post #3 below (https://soundcloud.com/petethomasmusic/boomtown-3/s-KBoVQ) then it should now work:
