“Cross-request blocked” with oEmbed?

Question

Today, when I try to embed sound in SoundCloud oEmbed, I get the following Javascript error:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked 

Can I fix this on my server side or is this a problem that arose on the SoundCloud side?

Answer 1

I found a problem. SoundCloud must have accidentally updated its OEmbed URL. Their oembed URL API is now http://soundcloud.com/oembed instead of http://soundcloud.com/oembed.json . The SoundCloud Javascript SDK still uses soundcloud.com/oembed.json (now 404 pages) for its oEmbed function.

It was probably an error updating the server’s configuration / security, and we can only hope that they will fix it as soon as possible.

Answer 2

Indeed, it was a bad change of route. Apologies for the break! A fix is ​​now available.

Answer 3

It seems that it has been resolved by now (September 23, 2014, 3 pm CT).
