    <p>Using Soundmanager2 to get metadata is hitting troubles with flash permissions. What I want is to access the metadata of a track in order to generate visual effects. (example of which <a href="http://reasoner.comoj.com/visual" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>)</p> <p>One thing I note is that you state</p> <blockquote> <p>Their api allows for deep mashups, allowing access to nearly all track meta data</p> </blockquote> <p>So I know that you intend for this to be possible, in face the presence of <a href="http://api.soundcloud.com/crossdomain.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the crossdomain.xml</a> file needed shows this. The problem is that this file only grants permissions for the api subdomain. When a request is made to the api a 3XX response is given, and we are transferred to ec-media.soundcloud.com . This site has no crossdomain.xml file, and so flash and soundmanager hit an error and no metadata is received. </p> <p>I have found a few instances of this via searching, primarily <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11642556/soundcloud-soundmanager2-eqdata">SoundCloud + Soundmanager2 + EQData</a> is exactly the problem I'm having. This question was never answered though, in fact the only responses are from the original poster, and it is left with a hack around the problem. </p> <blockquote> <p>My fix is every time I start a song over again I modify the Sound's URL to include a new ts={time} argument and then run .load() on the SMSound which causes a reload and fixes the issue.</p> </blockquote> <p>So I was wondering why the crossdomain.xml file is omitted on your ec-media subdomain, is it for security reasons? If so why do you state we have access to metadata? </p> <p>Ultimately, would you be able to put in place the aforementioned file, or will you not and shall we work around the issue?</p> <p>Thank you</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
