[X] I carefully read the contribution guidelines and agree to them.
[X] I checked if the issue/feature exists in the latest version.
[ ] I did use the incredible bugreport to markdown converter to paste bug reports.

There is currently, with NewPipe 0.18.0, the "Could not parse json response" exception when:

searching a Soundcloud track: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/blob/dev/extractor/src/main/java/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/services/soundcloud/SoundcloudSearchExtractor.java#L69
opening a Soundcloud link: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/blob/dev/extractor/src/main/java/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/services/soundcloud/SoundcloudParsingHelper.java#L118

ASAP bug soundcloud

I'm having this issue on all of my phones to, with version 0.19.5. Whats odd is that on some of my frieds phones it works flawlesly.

Fresh installation did not change anything, and the behavior is there on the fdroid/github version.

I can't reproduce the issue since I reinstall the app (still 0.18.0 from F-Droid). :disappointed:

Maybe a cache issue?

As I explained here and in the comment above, we might need to improve the method which checks whether a client_id is valid to always use the correct one.
