Bug 355350

utils/freesound.cpp  void FreeSound::slotStartSearch goes to 
http://www.freesound.org/api/sounds/search/?q=searchquery&api_key=a1772c8236e945a4bee30a64058dabf8

But this returns

 "status_code": 410, 
    "explanation": "Freesound APIv1 has reached its end of life and is no longer available. Please, upgrade to Freesound APIv2. More information: http://www.freesound.org/docs/api/", 
    "type": "Gone", 
    "error": true

I have started a bit of work on this. I have a new API key for kdenlive - and that is working.  Current problem is that the calls to the API are returning HTML instead of JSON. But I get JSON back if I use curl in a terminal.

I am making progress on this bug. Have got the ver 2 of the API to return JSON.  You could assign this to me.

Patch to fix this submitted to kde.reviewboard https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126191/
However, the freesound changes should be considered an interim
measure.  The import button imports freesounds high quality preview
file rather than the actual sound file. This is because the acutal
sound file requires the user to log in to free sound and grab the
file. There is a method for developing applications to use this more
advanced OAuth2 authentication - and it is documented on freesound.
http://www.freesound.org/docs/api/authentication.html#oauth2-authentication
 And I am happy to give it a shot in coding for this OAuth2
authentication. But it looks like it will take a bit of work. So I
figured it might be good to get these changes that make freesound work
into Kdenlive

freesound interim fix and clipart fix

 Fixes download of clip art.
 Fixes license parsing of clip art.
 Interim fix for search on freesound
 Freesound downloads high quality mp3 preview instead of the high quality file.
 This is because new freesound API needs you authenticate as user to get the high quality.
 There is a way to do it but I have not implemented this yet.
 Default file extension to mp3 on all freesound disable the import button while download is running -
 don't start two download jobs
 Fixes Auto play of previews in freesound.
 Preview button toggels on of the playing of the preview
 sound Preview button goes to "Stop" when playing preview and automatically back to "preview" when preview finishes
 Warns if you are about to overwrite an imported file I note that duplicate clip in bin checking is commented out in the code
 in ClipCreationDialog::createClipsCommand. And duplicate clips get created if you choose overwrite.
 Confirms the file download has finished.

Freesound seems to work. Thanks!

However, pressing a link (license for example) in the online resource interface appears to freeze the window and kdenlive.

Can not reproduce this issue. Links open in whatever the system is set up for reading html from.

you're right. my issue was unrelated to kdenlive. marking as fixed.
