loadType is always empty!

[valid gorge]

as i said in the title, my loadType when trying to search tracks is always empty, im not sure how to fix this or really what is wrong

im trying to make my own lavalink client because honestly why not and mostly everything has been pretty good up until now, kinda cant make a client if i cant even search tracks haha

i can send some of my code if that helps at all

Please @ me if you respond at all

@glossy crow hey sorry for the ping but its been a little while, didnt know if you were checking

[glossy crow]

You’re probably missing some plugins, but without your application.yml file, I can’t be sure.

• For a URL, you don’t need to provide a search prefix like ytsearch
• Don't do this "ytsearch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9NolimXXPc"

ah okay

and here

you can take a look at this if youd like

how exactly do i add a plugin?

[glossy crow]

disable lavaplayer default yt source manager
use youtube source plugin youtube source by adding youtube plugin to your yml

u can plugins like this . lavalink will automatically download them at startup

ive never really delved super deep into lavalink like this so most of this is pretty new, when i used it last i used an already made client

[valid gorge]

do i make that youtubesearchenabled to false?

[glossy crow]

yes set it to false

[valid gorge]

okay thank you

ah yes that most definetly worked

thank you alot!

[valid gorge]

so with this disabled, does that mean if i wanna find tracks, i have to always have a url or?

[glossy crow]

nope u can do ytsearch: something

[valid gorge]

ahh gotcha

so if its a link

no ytsearch

if it is a link i have that "ytsearch"

yes?

[glossy crow]

if its a link u don't need to add ytsearch , ytmsearch , spsearch
u can directly pass the links loadtracks?identifier=https://youtube.com/watch/.....

to search something (loadsearch) u need to provide that source search prefix for eg. u want to search something on soundcloud then u have to pass the source search prefix
GET /v4/loadtracks?identifier=scsearch:chippin%20in%20samurai

if it is confusing u can check the lavalink docs
