Research direction
Investigate how NewPipe handles incoming intents from other apps, specifically the share intent. Look at the AndroidManifest.xml for intent filters and the code that processes shared URLs. The issue likely arises because Soundcloud URLs are not recognized by NewPipe's URL pattern matching. Compare with how other platforms like YouTube are handled. Check if there is any existing code for Soundcloud URL parsing. The error 'unsupported url' suggests a parsing failure.
