SUMMARY

While playing music on Soundcloud the plasmoid wont register the next and previous track as a valid option.

This applies to the stream section, discover section and user playlists on the website.

Making the pause option the only viable way to control the website from the plasmoid integration. 

Bug 402324 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Go to https://soundcloud.com/ and browse an artist stream or user playlist and click play. 

2. Click on the Plasmoid to see the current track and the media controls (The next/previous controls will be faded)

OBSERVED RESULT

Unable to control the next and previous tracks from the plasmoid.

EXPECTED RESULT

Be able to move forward or backwards on a playlist using the media player plasmoid.

It is the website's responsibility to register appropriate callbacks.
Soundcloud uses the Media Sessions API but only registers callbacks for play/pause and seek, but not switching tracks.

Oh i see since Youtube have a similar problem decided to report. So is indeed the website responsibility.  Thanks for the info.
