Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble with audio playback from SoundCloud, make sure you have the "ugly" plugin set from GStreamer installed for MP3 support. The package is typically named gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly or similar, depending on OS and distribution. The package isn't a strict requirement for Mopidy's core, so you may be missing it.
