IDK about that, but dash files are basically written in XML language. So more easy to read also.

[dusk sedge]

So supposing I need to convert it to opus stream, I would need to do more work in order to get the same result, just to proxy live video requests :/

Does anybody tried that before? Proxying youtube live videos from an express.js app rather than ytdl into discord.js directly

[carmine timber]

But why do you want to proxy videos from express.js ??

Why are you ignoring ytdl-core ??

You can use play-dl [ Great Alternative to ytdl-core ]

[dusk sedge]

I cannot run ytdl from my Vps because its ip would get banned (from experience, multiple times). Instead, i use a homelab server running a dynamic ip. That's why @carmine timber

[carmine timber]

Then create a proxy at your homelab server and use proxy in ytdl-core. EZ

That's much efficient way to do it, rather than using express.js to send requests.

[dusk sedge]

Ok nevermind

i will ask somewhere else

[round jackal]

Hello!, I created a tts command for voice channel but when the command is used once and the bot is used again it crashes and to use it again the bot has to restart

[south lark]

In theory, what is the maximum amount of users a bot could listen to all at once in a single voice channel. 👀

On an unrelated note, why does https://github.com/discordjs/voice/releases not have the most up to date version of djs voice? I believe the most up to date version is 0.7.4 yet the most up to date downloadable version is 0.7.5

[icy tree]

That is limited to discord

[stuck drum]

can somebody explains why the bot is not reproducing the audio ?

        const { joinVoiceChannel, createAudioPlayer, createAudioResource,  generateDependencyReport } = require('@discordjs/voice');
        
        joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: message.member.voice.channel.id,
            guildId: message.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
        })

        const player = createAudioPlayer();

        const resource = createAudioResource('./assets/test.mp3')
        player.play(resource);
        console.log(generateDependencyReport());

i already have all the intents

[carmine timber]

There maybe 2 errors in your code :

1. The path you provided is a relative path, convert it to absolute path.

2. You might be missing GUILD_VOICE_STATES intent.

[carmine timber]

Then it is 1st error only.

[stuck drum]

how can i use absolute path?

[carmine timber]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38829118/nodejs-convert-relative-path-to-absolute

[stuck drum]

like that?

const {resolve} = require("path");

[carmine timber]

yep that should work.

[stuck drum]

nothing happens :/

already fixed that

Ok so console log this

const fs = require('fs');

filenames.forEach(file => {
  console.log(file);

Do you see test.mp3 there ??

[stuck drum]

yep, all files in assets folder

        player.on(AudioPlayerStatus.Playing, () => {
            console.log('playing');
        });

I put this in the code and the console registered

but nothing plays

[carmine timber]

Can you do console.log(resource.edges) ??

[stuck drum]

[fervent estuary]

Do you have guildVoiceStates intent?

[quartz cypress]

To follow up on this. The solution to my problem was that I needed to ensure that the stream I was passing to createAudioResource was in object-mode. It also helps if the highwatermark is set to something like 12 which is what was used by default in v12. Hope it helps for anyone.

Is there any way to seek audio ? Bcs the seek option was removed after v13. And ffmpeg's -ss option don't seem to be doing anything.

[carmine timber]

Show me your ffmpeg -ss code. I think you have some issues there.

[stuck spindle]

Well I disabled it but I just used ffmpeg as this: "ffmpeg -ss <time to seek> -i <input url> ..some other options" than I piped it to stdout and into discord.js

some other options is just options that discord.js is and was using

I lyterally copied the seek option from v12

[carmine timber]

You can try this. I think this should work fine.

https://github.com/play-dl/play-dl/discussions/162

[stuck spindle]

Well, there is only one option I am not using -accurate_seek

[carmine timber]

Maybe that could help you.

[stuck spindle]

I am gonna try that

[subtle granite]

because it’s inside for loop?

[carmine timber]

So it will create different player and choose random string in audio array.

So you can't play same audio like this

const player = createAudioPlayer();
let rand = audio[Math.floor(Math.random() * audio.length)]
let resource = rand...
player.play(resource);

for (let i in qu) {
  let roomid = qu[i].roomID;
  let room = client.channels.cache.get(roomid);
  let connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: room.id,
    guildId: room.guild.id,
    adapterCreator: room.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
  });

connection.subscribe(player);

// ...
}

@subtle granite

[subtle granite]

hmmm

but it will play before it connect 🤔
I’ll try it

[carmine timber]

You can play it after it is done doing for loop also.

[subtle granite]

Yes I’ll try ty

[stuck spindle]

Thanks a lot it works !

[carmine timber]

👍

[subtle granite]

one question @carmine timber

[carmine timber]

Ask

[subtle granite]

It will create an audio player for every channel and play the same audio, or it will only create one player?

because i don't want to get banned because of sending requests to yt

[carmine timber]

It will create only one player and play it across all connections.

[subtle granite]

Great

Ty!

[stuck spindle]

Well, I have another problem, when I try to join 2nd bot to a channel and 1st bot is alredy joined somewhere in the guild, it will join the 1st bot instead and remove it from the 1st channel.

[icy maple]

Are you running the bots in the same project?

[stuck spindle]

yes

I tryed to remove discord.js modules from require.cache and for each bot use new required module but that didn't work

[icy maple]

You have to specify the group when joining the channel

[stuck spindle]

nah ?

I need to specify a group for each bot ?

[icy maple]

Else the voice package assumes it’s the same bot

[carmine timber]

The adaptercreator should be different according to client running.

[stuck spindle]

oh okey I'll try that

[icy maple]

e.g. joinVoiceChannel({ …, group: client.user.id })

[carmine timber]

group ID are only used for storing purposes only. You need separate adapterCreator for connection from different client ID.

You might be wrong about group ID.

[stuck spindle]

thx works

[stuck spindle]

nah It was coused by the groups, I set each group to be username of bot and it works

Error: Cannot destroy VoiceConnection - it has already been destroyed```

[vocal lion]

Does anyone know how to play a internet radio stream/mp3/icecast?

[daring ember]

can anyone help me with disconnecting my bot from a voice channel?

[rugged sky]

<VoiceConnection>.destroy() to disconnect.

[daring ember]

that doesn't work for me

[rugged sky]

Can you show code?

[daring ember]

I'm a bit confused by <VoiceConnection>

[rugged sky]

That's where you insert your VoiceConnection object. You can store it as the return value of your joinVoiceChannel() function.

[daring ember]

could I have an example?

[rugged sky]

const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: <Channel>.id,
    guildId: <Channel>.guild.id,
    adapterCreator: <Channel>.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
})

connection.destroy()

That's joining and leaving.

[daring ember]

okay thank you so much! I got it working

connection.disconnect() also works

also if you don't mind me asking how I can check if the bot is currently in a vc?

[rugged sky]

You can check if connection.state.status is equal to 'ready'. That means it's in a channel and ready.

[daring ember]

thank you, I'm using this to check if my bot is connected to a vc to disconnect it, but when I use my disconnect command again it makes the bot join the vc again

[rugged sky]

Are you sure you're not calling joinVoiceChannel() again after you have disconnected?

[daring ember]

this is my code if you need to see it

            else if (message.content == (cmd + 'disconnect'))
                {
                const voiceChannel = message.member.voice.channel;

                 if(voiceChannel) 
                 {
                    const connection = joinVoiceChannel(
                        {
                            channelId: message.member.voice.channel.id,
                            guildId: message.guild.id,
                            adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
                        });

                     if (connection.state.status == 'ready')
                     {
                        const connection = joinVoiceChannel(
                            {
                                channelId: message.member.voice.channel.id,
                                guildId: message.guild.id,
                                adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
                            });
                         connection.destroy();
                         return message.channel.send("*Left VC*")
                     }
                     else if (!connection.state.status == 'ready')
                     {
                         return message.channel.send("I'm not in a VC")
                     }
                    
                 }```

[rugged sky]

Yeah, so the joinVoiceChannel() function makes the bot join. You only need the connection.destroy() part to make it leave. That's why it's rejoining.

[daring ember]

alright, so where would I put this in my code?

const connection = joinVoiceChannel(
    {
      channelId: message.member.voice.channel.id,
      guildId: message.guild.id,
      adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator

im making a music dashboard and im stuck at this problem

i can't figure out to send user voice state to frontend

Oh I see.

So just get guild class from anywhere and do <Guild>.members.fetch('userID')

You will now get a guild member Class

Then you can simply do <GuildMember>.voice.channel.id

OR
if you have GUILD_VOICE_STATES intent, then you don't require to fetch it.
You can simply do [guild.members.cache.get('ID').voice.channel.id]

r u sure the audio module is '../halloween.mp3'

Pretty sure the path is in relation to the working directory, not the file it’s called from

If you want a path relative to the file, use path.join(__dirname, relativePath)

ohhhh ok i guess it liked ./halloween.mp3 better than ../
thank you

it does sound staticy though, how can i fix that?

[south glade]

@rugged sky Thank you! Here is my play command: https://sourceb.in/aGZXd0Cr1E

[rugged sky]

What error message do you get when the bot crashes?

[south glade]

@rugged sky my bad, i don't get an error, but it just switches the song. i want it to play the song after the song that is currently playing is done. kind of like a queue

[rugged sky]

Well the code you currently run is designed to create a new connection and AudioPlayer every time you run the command so that will just discard whatever you had. If you want it to queue just check if the bot is already playing and, if so, create a only a new audio resource for the next song and put it into an array that you can access. Then in your player's .on('idle', () => {}) function just make it play the next song in the queue if there is one.

Hey guys, I am new to Discord.js Voice and trying to figure out if I can use 2 AudioPlayers at the sametime. Since, I am not sure how to describe what I want to do, here is an illustration of it :

I also am not sure about the logic of using 2 AudioPlayers, there may be an easiyer way to do this.

For example: The Bot plays a song and it has to play a sound effect for X reason (interrupt the song) and then it has to unpause (continue) the song

[carmine timber]

I think it should work 100%. What is the error that you are facing ??

[stiff junco]

How do I change the volume of the music playing in a voiceChannel, provided I have the voiceChannelID

[woeful dove]

how did you do it?

[wind arrow]

I`m new Into Discord JS and I wanted to ask something:
I want the Bot to join the voice channel, if the message.member is in a channel, but when the member isn't I want him to write a message

[tribal pumice]

Does the "node-crc" package need to be installed?, I can't install it because of an error

[wind arrow]

The Bot joins my Voice Channel, but if i change my channel and type my command again, he's joining the channel where I was before

[icy maple]

Why would you need that package?

[icy maple]

Show code

[wind arrow]

I think he isn't updating the state "message.member.voice.channel"

[icy maple]

Try logging it

[tribal pumice]

https://github.com/discordjs/voice/tree/main/examples/recorder
I want to use it for voice recorder like this on github

[icy maple]

What error are you getting?

[tribal pumice]

in package.json it says "node-crc" but when I try to install an error occurs

[icy maple]

Did you enable the guild voice states intent?

[icy maple]

What error?

[dusty needle]

To share long code snippets use a service like gist, sourcebin, starbin, or similar instead of posting them as large code blocks.

[icy maple]

The npm package says you have to setup the rust environment

https://rustup.rs/

[tribal pumice]

ok i will try

[wind arrow]

I didn't, now it works thank you 🙂

[haughty maple]

It doesnt play the audio when I unpause the AudioPlayer 1

[lyric socket]

hello

I have made tts bot for about 3 hours.
When I install @discord.js/voice and import them, tsc started returning below errors.

#11 13.34 node_modules/@discordjs/voice/dist/index.d.ts(2,8): error TS1192: Module '"/usr/src/app/node_modules/prism-media/typings/index"' has no 
default export.
#11 13.34 node_modules/@discordjs/voice/dist/index.d.ts(5,8): error TS1259: Module '"/usr/src/app/node_modules/@types/ws/index"' can only be default-imported using the 'esModuleInterop' flag

(I've aimed to package the bot with Docker. So the errors was displayed when I built docker image)

How can I resolve the errors?

The codes what I had written is here (partial):

import { joinVoiceChannel, getVoiceConnection, createAudioPlayer, VoiceConnection } from "@discordjs/voice";

client.once("ready", async () => {
  const channel = client.guilds.cache.get("")?.channels.cache.get("");
  if (!channel) return;
  joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: "",
    guildId: "",
    adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
  });

  connection = getVoiceConnection(channel.guildId) ?? null;
});

the dependencies in packages.json are:

"dependencies": {
  "@discordjs/voice": "^0.7.5",
  "@types/ffi-napi": "^4.0.4", /*  not related to this problem  */
  "discord.js": "^13.3.1",
  "ffi-napi": "^4.0.3", /*  not related to this problem  */
  "libsodium-wrappers": "^0.7.9",
  "typescript": "^4.5.2"
}

I installed the packages following discord.js guide.
https://discordjs.guide/voice/#installation

npm install @discordjs/voice libsodium-wrappers

sorry

I solved

I should use require() instead of import

[wind arrow]

Hey.. if i want to play music on my bot this error occurs

That's my code

[wind arrow]

I can’t find any fix

I've created an audioPlayer but now i've got a new problem:

[rugged sky]

The error tells you that whatever you're attempting to call play on is null, so I'm guessing your AudioPlayer isn't initialized correctly.

[woeful dove]

Is it just me or this was working earlier but now the bot wont join my voice channel after this is executed?

[wind arrow]

this code is working for me:

            channelId: message.member.voice.channel.id,
            guildId: message.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
          })```

[woeful dove]

I see. I figured it out. I did <Interaction>.channel.id, which is the textChannel, not voice. Thanks!

[wind arrow]

Do you know how i can use AudioPlayer to play music from an YouTube - URL?

[subtle granite]

👀?

[subtle granite]

Use ytdl , play-dl

[slim jay]

Anyone have any stats on the performance decrease with inlineVolume? I want to change the volume on creation because it always starts too loud for people

[carmine timber]

Very rare server side issues

[woeful dove]

Does any knows the name for the listeners for the audioplayer class? like ```
<AudioPlayer>.on('finish', () => {console.log('song finished!')})

[icy maple]

idle

The only events are the names of the AudioPlayerStatus and stateChange

[woeful dove]

I see, so if a song starts it would be AudioPlayerStatus.Playing?

[icy maple]

Yea

[woeful dove]

thanks!

[haughty maple]

Hey guys, sorry to bother with such a dumb question but can someone tell me how can I move client from X voice channel to Y voice channel ?

Currently, trying with setChannel function but if I understand it correctly, it is used for users and not for the client

[woeful dove]

I think, u would just use the joinVoiceChannel(channel) again with a different channel

[haughty maple]

That is what I was doing but I am trying to make a low-level voice recognition bot and for some reason it doubles the connection when I use joinVoiceChannel()

For example: When I say "hello world", It prints it on console. If I move the client on my own manually, it works fine else if I use joinVoicechannel for second time it will print whatever I say twice

[carmine timber]

you may be attaching a event twice to voice channel.

When you run joinVoiceChannel again, instead of destroying old connection, it converts your old connection to a new connection with same events attached. So you might be attaching same events to a connection.

[haughty maple]

I was thinking the same thing yet struggling with it for a while now.

Apparently it is caused by a function that I found on internet to connect a voice channel. I do not know at all why I did look for a function on internet when there is already a function that is very simple (joinVoiceChannel) provided by Discord...

async function connectToChannel(channel) {

    const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
        channelId: channel.id,
        guildId: channel.guild.id,
        adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        selfDeaf: false,
        selfMute: false,
    });


    try {
        await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 30e3);
        return connection;
    } catch (error) {
        connection.destroy();
        console.log(error)
    }
}

But I would be glad if someone explains me why this function caused such a problem

[haughty maple]

ty tho

[carmine timber]

What is the issue you are facing right now ??

[haughty maple]

It works fine know. I just replaced the above function with a simple joinVoiceChannel()

[tribal pumice]

Can anyone help me, this is the problem I found while trying to voice record according to github : https://github.com/discordjs/voice/tree/main/examples/recorder
but I changed to JS file

[carmine timber]

Remove entersState function from your code

[wind arrow]

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getSubcommand')

What does that mean?

        case "play": {
          client.distube.playVoiceChannel(
            VoiceChannel,
            options.getString("query"),
            { textChannel: channel, member: member }
          );
          return interaction.reply({ content: "🎼 Anfrage eingeganen." });
        }```
That's my getSubcommand

[wild mist]

Hello, is the @discordjs/voice package are TypeScript ready ?

I just installed it with NPM, along side with @discordjs/opus and sodium.

So, the currently installed version is :
@discordjs/voice v0.7.5, @discordjs/opus v0.5.3 and sodium v3.0.2

I try to check if there , now all of my builds are failing with these error :

Module '"${ProjectPath}/node_modules/prism-media/typings/index"' has no default export.
- From : ${ProjectPath}/node_modules/@discordjs/voice/dist/index.d.ts, Line 2

Module '"${ProjectPath}/node_modules/@types/ws/index"' can only be default-imported using the 'esModuleInterop' flag
- From : ${ProjectPath}/node_modules/@discordjs/voice/dist/index.d.ts, Line 5

I didn't even import anything from the @discordjs/voice package yet, as adding voice support to my bot was still only a plan.

Should I just forcefully silence the above TypeScript errors ?

I'm on TypeScript v4.4.4

[carmine timber]

If you want to remove all those errors, switch to discordjs/voice@0.6.0

[wild mist]

I quickly switched my environment to use TypeScript v.4.5.2, the issue still appears.

Well I do can apply a hot patch by changing those lines (that throws the compilation errors) to not use default export, or importing with wildcards.
But well, it is not a good way as NPM is configured to check and install for available updates every 24hours

[carmine timber]

So just create a issue at repository.

[wild mist]

Hmmm that is a good idea, hope it is a valid issue

[wild mist]

how can i get a list of users playing a discord activity? Eg Poker Night

[whole flare]

You should ask that in #djs-help-v14

[merry parcel]

I get "error: The Operation was aborted" when i disconnect bot manually

is there a way to fix?

[solemn condor]

Is there a way to pipe the audio input that is received from discordjs/voice back into the bots output? Essentially creating a bot that echos the audio of a user?
I've made a couple of attempts but am not super familiar with handling audio streams

[carmine timber]

Remove entersState function from your code. EZ Fix

[carmine timber]

Yep

// You can re-use the Opus stream, e.g. to play in another channel as an echo

const resource = createAudioResource(opusStream, { inputType: StreamType.Opus });

https://github.com/discordjs/voice/releases/tag/v0.6.0

[solemn condor]

this is just what im looking for!

Is joinChannel still a function? or is is joinVoiceChannel now?

[carmine timber]

https://discordjs.github.io/voice/modules.html#joinvoicechannel

[solemn condor]

So i'm getting the "User user_id started/stopped speaking" in my console, but i dont hear any playback through the bot

here's the basic setup

const voiceConnection = joinVoiceChannel({
          channelId: channel.id,
          guildId: channel.guild.id,
          selfDeaf: false,
          selfMute: false,
          adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        });
        console.log(voiceConnection)
        voiceConnection.receiver.speaking.on('start', userId => console.log(`User ${userId} started speaking`));
        voiceConnection.receiver.speaking.on('end', userId => console.log(`User ${userId} stopped speaking`));

        // A Readable object mode stream of Opus packets
        // Will only end when the voice connection is destroyed
        voiceConnection.receiver.subscribe(userId);

        // A Readable object mode stream of Opus packets
        // Will end when the voice connection is destroyed, or the user has not said anything for 100ms
        const opusStream = voiceConnection.receiver.subscribe(userId, {
          end: {
            behavior: EndBehaviorType.AfterSilence,
            duration: 100,
          },
        });

        // -------------------------

        // You can re-use the Opus stream, e.g. to play in another channel as an echo
        const resource = player.play(createAudioResource(opusStream, { inputType: StreamType.Opus }));

I've tried with/without the player.play() at the end

[carmine timber]

You are subscribing twice

Remove This line

voiceConnection.receiver.subscribe(userId);

[sharp temple]

how can I request the bot in a call?

[carmine timber]

You can't discord's limitation.

[sharp temple]

like this? this is on the developer site

[carmine timber]

Show me

[merry parcel]

?

I have no entersState function

[carmine timber]

Show me your code

[merry parcel]

I’m using the package discord-player

I posted my problem here and they redirected to here

[carmine timber]

discord-player is using entersState function. Tell them to remove it.

And also tell them to make their own entersState function.

[carmine timber]

Tell discord-player developer to remove entersState function. Otherwise make your own discord music bot without discord-player.

[merry parcel]

Hmmm 🤔

It’s so hard?

[carmine timber]

no it is easy

[merry parcel]

Ok I’ll create my own

Hi, I wanted to make sure that when a player joins a voice room it creates a new voice room and moves him into it but I get an error message

client.on("ready", () => {
    const channel = client.channels.cache.get("918037148635136010");
    if (!channel) return console.error("The channel does not exist!");
    channel.join().then(connection => {
        // Yay, it worked!
        console.log("Successfully connected.");
    }).catch(e => {

        // Oh no, it errored! Let's log it to console :)
        console.error(e);
    });
});

error message :

Uncaught TypeError: channel.join is not a function

[carmine timber]

That was used in v12

Refer to this guide

https://discordjs.guide/voice/

[glossy rampart]

I'm probably just overlooking something, but Is it possible to get the JoinConfig properties from a VoiceConnection after it's been created? I absolutely was.

[subtle granite]

      channelId: interaction.member.voice.channel.id,
      guildId: interaction.guild.id,
      adapterCreator: interaction.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
    })
    const player = createAudioPlayer()
    const resource = createAudioResource('../../music/FunkyMusic.mp3')
    const subscription = connection.subscribe(player)
    player.play(resource)
    player.on('error', err => {
      console.error(err.message)
    })```

Absolutely nothing happens

Well it does connect

[rugged sky]

Do you have the GUILD_VOICE_STATES intent?

[subtle granite]

I have all intents enabled so ig yes

[rugged sky]

I'd suggest you make the path to your resource absolute, I don't think it does relative paths.

[subtle granite]

Oki ill try that

Ok that worked ty

[subtle granite]

Are there ways to boost audio quality

[left plinth]

Hey! So I am having this odd issue with the voice lib, I can obtain packets of audio from a internet stream via axios, and pipe them into a buffer to be read, but at random times, the voice lib will just, stop playing audio. As in, I am still sending packets to the stream buffer to be read, but d.js just, stops handling them. It doesn't emit an event, doesn't close, just hangs there

My current theory is that when I have silence while switching tracks (the stream I pipe in does a crossfade, but some tracks have a little silence) that it stops playback

From what I can tell, there is zero option or configuration for this behaviour, but I'm hoping I'm wrong, because this is annoying

[rose helm]

you should be piping audio data to a stream.Passthrough since using only a Buffer is not efficient. If a track ends and you intend to continue, you should pipe silence packets until the track finishes loading.

[left plinth]

I am

And as for the silence packets, a little hard to do that- because the audio server is on a different machine, streaming via libshout, to icecast

I suppose I could write a small script to check for a lack of lengthy bytes in the packets and do it that way

[rose helm]

a shoutcast/icecast server should be sending audio constantly. Once a stream.Readable ends, then it emits the end event which is what causes the AudioResource to be destroyed.

[left plinth]

See, that's the thing

It is sending it constantly. That's what doesn't make any sense with the lib

I have literally logged the chunks being read, and it'll just suddenly stop sending the audio out to discord

if I completely reset the audio player, ie: new AudioPlayer() and do it again, works fine

[rose helm]

Are you logging end events and such

[left plinth]

Yep.

[rose helm]

I personally have no issues with frisky.fm which is icecast

[left plinth]

The only difference with the stream I have is it uses an adaptive bitrate, which I think may be breaking the lib

[rose helm]

that could be possible since it expects a bitrate of 48000. You could pipe through ffmpeg constantly with the args
aresample=48000

At least, I think thats how you resample in ffmpeg

[left plinth]

The reason I don't do that from the stream side is because some of the tracks are quite old, like 1988 old- and sound horrid upscaled

I'll see what I can do though

[rose helm]

[left plinth]

It may be one of those things where I write a custom lib for it, just wanted to try avoiding that to not reinvent the wheel lol

[rose helm]

Shouldn't really be necessary. ffmpeg probably has some args to preserve as much as possible, but just offer compatibility

[left plinth]

I'll take a look into it- it has some args I've tried, but it ends up stretching out the audio in funny ways- I'll message a friend of mine who is far more knowledgeable on ffmpeg

[rose helm]

I would also recommend taking a peek at some other projects to see if they face the same issue as you. I wrote a little something you can look at AmandaDiscord/Volcano on github. Assuming you want to. I'm curious myself because as far as icecast goes, I've only tested frisky.fm

[left plinth]

For sure, I'll take a look tomorrow, I've gotta get back to studying for a redhat cert exam; It's probably one of those things that is simple, but not immediately thought of fix wise - thanks for the help/pointers!

[rose helm]

👍

[haughty maple]

Hey guys, a question for who uses ytdl-core to play music from Youtube. Did you ever encounter this error ? Apparently it is a very common issue and I kind a feel stack. I am open to any workarounds or alternatives or any other solutions

[olive ferry]

Does anyone know why the audio player isn't firing off any events? There are no errors reported in console but nothing is firing
I attached the code

This segment of code is initialized upon bot startup

[solemn condor]

I'm working on a bot that can take my audio input and echo it. This is what I have.

          channelId: channel.id,
          guildId: channel.guild.id,
          selfDeaf: false,
          selfMute: false,
          adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        });

        voiceConnection.receiver.speaking.on('start', userId => console.log(`User ${userId} started speaking`));
        voiceConnection.receiver.speaking.on('end', userId => console.log(`User ${userId} stopped speaking`));
        voiceConnection.receiver.subscribe(userId)

        const opusStream = voiceConnection.receiver.subscribe(userId, {
          end: {
            behavior: EndBehaviorType.AfterSilence,
            duration: 100,
          },
        });

        const resource = createAudioResource(opusStream, { inputType: StreamType.Opus });

It logs User x started speaking and User x stopped speaking but still no audio is coming from the bot. Anyone have an idea why?

[haughty maple]

It may be a dumb question but did you subscribe to your AudioPlayer ?

[olive ferry]

I did

[carmine timber]

Did you played anything in audio Player ??

[carmine timber]

Yes we did encounter those errors and we shifted to play-dl

Hello I'm playing a local mp3 file with @discordjs/voice but couldn't figure out the way to implement seek feature, can anyone help?

nevermind..

[carmine timber]

Just use ffmpeg

[wild mist]

Hi guys, do anyone have issues with AudioPlayer constantly firing Idle, Buffering, Playing event ?
It only happens randomly at me, but it hangs the whole bot, as it keeps looping and taking 25% CPU usage (All available for the NodeJS instance).

The error occurs when the current song is ended, I then create a new AudioResource and then assign it to the existing AudioPlayer.
When it works, the bot starts playing the new song.
When it fails, the bot starts going from Idle -> Buffering -> Playing -> Idle -> Buffering -> Playing -> ....... (it's a constant loop)

My audio source is a localfile, I used my own youtube management API as YTDL wasn't reliable, and fetching details from the YouTube Data v3 API is costing quotas, I had make sure the local audio source file are not corrupted, infact, it plays just fine atleast, until at some point the AudioPlayer goes crazy

I noticed the issue as I was subscribed to the debug event.

My queue system listens for Idle and Playing events, so when the AudioPlayer went weird, it can flush all song in the queue in less then a second 😄
Or when the queue is on loop, it'll loop forever !

In the meantime, I had implemented a rate limit, so the bot will not try to load a new song if the olderSong was not completed yet.
Well, it helps a bit, but the audio player still loops there.

For my curiosity, I put a :

ConnectionInfo.AudioManager.player.on('debug', (messagess: string) => {
    globalThis.Debug.Debug.Debug.log('AudioPlayer Debug : ', messagess);
});

and this is what is logged, when the bot is on loop for 1 second :

from {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":100,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"buffering","resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":0,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"buffering","resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":100,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"buffering","resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":0,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"buffering","resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":100,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"buffering","resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":0,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"buffering","resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
....
Sadly discord do not allow longer messages.

It doesn't have any kind of issues if it wasn't randomly looping when on song switch

[carmine timber]

Can we see the code that you use when you assign new audio Resource to existing AudioPlayer ??

[wild mist]

Yep sure !

    // Since there is still another song in the queue, start playing again.
                    
    // Load the music data object for that song
    let SongData : PlaylistItem = ConnectionInfo.Queue[0];

    if (SongData.sourcetype !== "local" && !SongData.localsource) {
        // Song is not from local, and it was not cached yet.
        message.channel.send(`Please refill the TirtaAPI wallet again, the song is not decrypted successfully !!!!!`)
        return;
    }

    // It was a local song, load it !
    const RawSongData : AudioResource = createAudioResource(SongData.localsource);

    // Use the duration of the song and store it in the song data object
    SongData.duration = RawSongData.playbackDuration;
                
    // Update the ConnectionInfo queue with the SongData
    ConnectionInfo.Queue[0] = SongData;

    ConnectionInfo.CurrentState = "PREPARING"

    // Update the ConnectionInfo
    MusicModuleData.ActiveNodes.set(ConnectionInfo.GuildID, ConnectionInfo);
                
    // Play the song
    ConnectionInfo.AudioManager.player.play(RawSongData);

So the ConnectionInfo.AudioManager is a variable that holds PlayerSubscription object, the code :

ConnectionInfo.AudioManager = connection.subscribe(createAudioPlayer({
    behaviors: {
        noSubscriber: NoSubscriberBehavior.Play
    }
}));

In normal behaviour this happens on the AudioPlayer's debug listener :

AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"buffering","resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
AudioPlayer Debug :  state change:
from {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":192640,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}

Which seems to be perfectly normal, since when the song ends, it switches into Idle, and when the new song is loading, it's at buffering, less than 1 second, it was on playing.

However, when the random loop occurs, after it was on playing state, it just quickly go into Idle and the whole state cycle repeats

One thing that I noticed, when the AudioPlayer's is somehow goes into infinite loop when I assign a new AudioResource, this happens on the debug listener:

from {"status":"playing","missedFrames":0,"playbackDuration":100,"resource":true,"stepTimeout":false}
to {"status":"idle","resource":false,"stepTimeout":false}

That's playing the exact same song (Yes, I use the bot to repeat the same song for a lot of hours, and it's kind of annoying when at random times it just goes into infinite loop)

Currently it's playing I put gas gas gas over a police chase which is around 3minutes ish (which seems to be correct: "playbackDuration":192640.
When the looping starts, that playback went weird : "playbackDuration":100, my 3 minute song is now 100ms ? 😄

I was not sure if my current way is the best way to re-assign a AudioResource over to an existing AudioPlayer

I'm open to any suggestions 🙂

In the meanwhile, the bot is correctly looping the queue.

hi i need to detect when a bot has finished reproducing: ```js

player.play(resource);
connectionVoice.subscribe(player);```

The joinVoiceChannel requires an options parameter which has a guildId, channelId and an adapterCreator which are required in the options parameter, also it won't return a Promise so the await won't do something. Replace your joinVoiceChannel function with

const guild = client.guilds.cache.get(`Your Guild ID`);
const vc = guilds.channels.cache.get(`Your Voice Channel ID`);

joinVoiceChannel({
   guildId: guild.id,
   channelId: vc.id,
   adapterCreator: guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});

Hey guys so i have a question about the voice basic example, im getting an error at this line "const connection = await connectToChannel(channel);" specifically on channel, even tho channel is constructed above.
The error message is ** "Argument of type 'VoiceChannel | StageChannel' is not assignable to parameter of type 'VoiceChannel'.**

"Argument of type 'VoiceChannel | StageChannel' is not assignable to parameter of type 'VoiceChannel'."

I have tried to assign proper parameters according to docs to the "channel" but couldn't get it work what am i missing?

[icy maple]

Change the parameter of the function to also accept a Stage Channel

There should be a typedef for that, smth like VoiceBasedChannels

[remote junco]

Thank you! I will look into that asap

[icy maple]

If anything, just use the same return type as VoiceState.channel

[cold wind]

What's the variable to check if a user is already in a voice channel, or to grab the channel ID? I've tried message.author.voice.channel and message.author.voice.channelId but both return an error

[minor bison]

voice is a property of GuildMembers, not Users

[remote junco]

message.member?.voice.channel

[cold wind]

thanks i'll try that

[cold wind]

so it isn't a property of message.author?

[minor bison]

correct, that's a User

[cold wind]

i can't find anything in user

ah nevermind, I was being stupid

[remote junco]

Ugh now i have fixed the errs but i can't play the audio eventhough i have the correct intents set....

Bot joins the channel also checks if anyone in the channel correctly but i can't play the audio..

also the intents

This is the error im getting, when i initiate -join command bot joins but doesnt play audio

got the dependencies like stated in the https://github.com/discordjs/voice

[median phoenix]

Hi, I'm sure this is probably an easy problem; but I can't find any sort of solution online--
I just need my bot to connect to a voice channel at the moment, its long term goal is for it to be able to read the volume of all the users in channel-- but I don't need to get into that rn.

const { joinVoiceChannel, AudioPlayer } = require("@discordjs/voice");
const { Client } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    name: 'join',
    description: 'Joins the chat',
    execute(message, args)
    {
        const voiceChannel = message.member.voice.channel;

        if(!voiceChannel) {return message.channel.send("get in a channel ");}
        
     
        joinVoiceChannel(
            {
                channelId: message.member.voice.channel,
                guildId: message.guild.id,
               // adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
            });

        joinVoiceChannel(); 

    }
    
}

this is all that I have in my join.js but it's not working-- it gives me a crash log so large that I can't fit it in one discord message

[haughty maple]

I am not sure but I think you should also precise guldId parameter when you call joinVoiceChannel

[knotty eagle]

also tried that same error xd

[haughty maple]

It is hard to tell without seeing the actual code. Are you 100% sure that it is caused by these lines of your code ? + I haven't done anything with interactions yet but if your interaction is an object, all of the properties are already defined right? So why would you use "await" ?

[knotty eagle]

I just copy pasted what discord.js documentation said, kinda wnted to see how it works, it was just a desesperate attempt the await thing. It did works once or twice out of ten attempts

[haughty maple]

Ignoring your question I want to say something : you will get in trouble with ytdl-core. Go with play-dl if you want to play audio from youtube because it has less bugs, problems and much more easier to use

I can't see the problem on your code but I think it is a better idea to use a single source to retrieve information for channelId & guildId & adapterCreator
Example : If a user sends !join message. You can get the user's voice channel by

const voiceChannel = message.member?.voice.channel 

connection = joinVoiceChannel({
                        channelId: voiceChannel.id,
                        guildId: voiceChannel.guild.id,
                        adapterCreator: voiceChannel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
                        selfDeaf: false,
                        selfMute: false,
                    });

If this doesn't solve your problem neither, maybe someone else with more experience then me can help you ^^

[icy maple]

Preferably, you should also use the entersState function to make sure the connection actually becomes ready

Also gotta do permission checks bc Discord doesn’t emit an error if the bot is missing permissions to connect

[subtle granite]

?👀

[subtle granite]

Tell me if you did

[carmine timber]

This is v13 discordjs voice help. We no longer provide help with v12.

[zenith lichen]

anyways, how are you people capturing the audio, as discord sends the audio clipping the silence. how do you insert silences ?

[carmine timber]

As mentioned in the forum answer, Use Silence Frames and just write it into audioStream whenever user is not speaking.

audioStream.write(SILENCE_FRAMES)

[cold wind]

ur running the joinvoicechannel function twice, once without saving it in a variable and once again without passing any information

[carmine timber]

it has less bugs

I never faced any bug with play-dl. Did you faced any ??

[haughty maple]

I never faced any ^^ but that probably doesn't mean there are any. If you aren't doing something extreme, you probably won't get any. And you are the guy who suggested me to use it, right? If yes, thanks again lol

[carmine timber]

If there would be any issues, then everyone would have created issue at the repository.

Looking at repo, I think there is no issues in play dl.

Idk, Am I the one who suggested play dl??

But yes I am the creator of play dl.

[exotic haven]

How can I get the currently playing player?

[haughty maple]

In my case, I use a shared variable that I store in a module.exports. Whenever, I need it, I just require the module and reach the player variable. There mightbe a better way to do this but it just works fine for now

[exotic haven]

I just need to be able to resume the song but it won't unpause.

Anyway to create one?

[rugged sky]

Use getVoiceConnection() from the voice library to get your current VoiceConnection. Then use <VoiceConnection>.state.subscription.player to get your player.

[pure basalt]

hello, my bot joins the channel and instantly leaves, I've checked that the stateChange event is emitted and that the newState is idle

[exotic haven]

Like this? const voiceConnection = getVoiceConnection(message.guild?.id)

[rugged sky]

Yeah

[exotic haven]

I seem to get this error Property 'subscription' does not exist on type 'VoiceConnectionState'.

[exotic haven]

Did I do something wrong? const player = voiceConnection?.state.subscription.player

[subtle granite]

Hello, could someone help me? I made a music bot perfectly, I checked that everything was fine and I installed all the following modules:

npm i @discordjs/opus
npm i opusscript
npm i ffmpeg-static
npm i ytdl-core
npm install discord.js

and by the way I am in v13

here are the screenshots of my code and the error :

I changed my token

[exotic haven]

npm i ytdl-core-discord

[rugged sky]

Oh my bad, should be voiceConnection.state.status.subscription.player i think

[subtle granite]

thanks !!!

[subtle granite]

when I go to voice and I put a music, I do not hear the music and it puts me this error

[exotic haven]

What's your code?

[subtle granite]

the one I sent above, I haven't changed anything yet

[rugged sky]

Is your connection already subscribed to the player? Because it should have that property.

[subtle granite]

as a result?

[exotic haven]

Where are you getting video from?

[subtle granite]

youtube

[rugged sky]

It should be subscribed first, and the property is called subscription not subscribe.

[exotic haven]

Then I get Block-scoped variable 'player' used before its declaration. on the line voiceConnection?.subscribe(player)

[exotic haven]

No connection.play( await ytdl(video

That video

[subtle granite]

I have to replace it here?

[exotic haven]

No

[subtle granite]

or ?

[exotic haven]

Before that line try doing const video = args[0]

Or js connection.play( await ytdl(args[0], { filters: 'audioonly' }), {type: 'opus'}

[rugged sky]

I'm only showing you a way of getting your player at any point in your code like you asked for. You need to make the player and subscribe it yourself first, otherwise there is nothing to retrieve.

[exotic haven]

All I need is a way to get the currently playing music, then resume the player.

[subtle granite]

args is not defined

@exotic haven

[exotic haven]

Define args

async run (message, args, { query })```

[subtle granite]

It gives me this error code after changing the connection.play and also after defining args

[exotic haven]

Show me the new code.

[exotic haven]

And what's the full error?

[subtle granite]

this

[exotic haven]

That's everything? Does it not give you a line?

[subtle granite]

no it only gives me that :/

[exotic haven]

Okay, remove args from the first aync run

And try putting it in the last one so js async runVideo(message, args, connection, video) { connection.play( await ytdl(args[0], { filters: 'audioonly' }), {type: 'opus'}

[subtle granite]

I copied what you told me, but I still get the same error

[exotic haven]

I mean what I told you works for me.

[subtle granite]

oh but how do I do that?

[exotic haven]

Try doing async run instead of async runVideo.

[subtle granite]

like this?

[exotic haven]

Yes

[subtle granite]

It always gives me the same mistake

Maybe the error comes from my index.

[exotic haven]

I have no more ideas sorry

Like I said what works for me doesn’t seem to work for you.

[subtle granite]

it doesn't matter xD

[subtle granite]

yes it is unfortunate

[subtle granite]

but maybe if you give me some of your, it will work?

https://discordjs.guide/voice/voice-connections.html

[subtle granite]

that... does not explain youtube music bots

[carmine timber]

connection.join were old methods.

New methods are in given guide.

You need to follow the guide.

[subtle granite]

oh thanks o7

[subtle granite]

soo i change it to joinVoiceChannel?

[carmine timber]

Yes, moreover you need to change connection.play commands also

[subtle granite]

what do i change connection.play to

[carmine timber]

https://discordjs.guide/voice/audio-player.html#creation

https://discordjs.guide/voice/audio-player.html#playing-audio

[subtle granite]

player.play ? sorry this guide is slightly difficult for me to follow

[carmine timber]

You need to create a audio Player first and then attach it to voice connection [ That you get from joinVoiceChannel function. ]

Now for playing audio part, just create a Audio Resource and then play the Audio Resource by player.play(resource). Player here is AudioPlayer that you created in previous step.

[subtle granite]

okay. idk to me it seems like they made everything more complicated with all this player stuff

[carmine timber]

Yup probably.

[subtle granite]

yeah same with messageCreate, etc. like im a fan of slashies but most of what they did seems to complicate sh*t

[valid marsh]

doesn't that work? oops

[carmine timber]

That was for v12 and this is v13

[valid marsh]

That is my bad, then! Noted

[late vigil]

hello, did anyone know if we can get the audioPlayer from a VoiceConnection ?

[rugged sky]

<VoiceConnection>.state.status.subscription.player If I'm not mistaken

[late vigil]

not that, <VoiceConnection>.state.status refer to a <String>

but i found it, you get it by the <VoiceConnection>.subscibe(audioPlayer) and that will return a PlayerSubscription

[shell hemlock]

How can I solve this connection error? (It is related to Discord.js / Voice)

Where can I find the voice Documentation?
The documentation button on the GitHub page no longer seems to direct to the voice Documentation, and there is no voice option on the documentation site/doc settings

[dusty needle]

Client#voice
The voice manager of the client

[shy hornet]

Thank you for the response.

I should have specified I am looking for the voice library, and that appears to be a voice object

[fervent estuary]

you can look at the guide: https://discordjs.guide/voice/
or docs: https://discordjs.github.io/voice/

[shy hornet]

Thank you, that second link was exactly what I was looking for 😃

[royal valley]

hey i'm looking at the basic example from the discordjs/voice repo, and it does not look basic
is the adapter stuff boilerplate code? i'm a bit rusty on my nodejs and this looks so intimidating

[green vigil]

[nimble escarp]

Can anyone please tell me how to check if the user is in the same vc as the bot.

please

[serene briar]

only just saw this channel, kinda crossposting ig?

            try{
                await user.voice.setChannel(null);
            }catch(err){
                message.channel.send("Failed to disconnect user");
                return;
            }

user is a user object, this throws an error and goes into the catch. user.voice is undefined when I log it out. I am not sure how to achieve disconnecting people from voice channels.
i assume this is the right channel for it, correct me if not

[rugged sky]

User objects do not have a voice property, I think what you're trying to use is a GuildMember object. That has a voice property which can be used to disconnect them from a channel.

PS: this is fine for this channel

[serene briar]

yeah I am struggling to get the guild member right now. I want my bot to work anywhere and get messaged anywhere so I want to be able to give the bot !disconnect [user id] in dms and it will disconnect that user no matter which guild they are in. I am still trying to find an elegant way to do that so if you have any ideas throw them at me.

I know I could manually get the guild by ID, or I could run a loop for every guild my bot is in and check each one, but none of these solutions sound all that great

[royal valley]

hey i'm currently struggling with something: js bot.channels.cache.forEach(channel => { if (channel.type == "GUILD_VOICE" && channel.members.size > 0) { let played = false; const conn = joinVoiceChannel({ channelId: channel.id, guildId: channel.guild.id, adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator }); conn.subscribe(player); const resource = createAudioResource("./resources/waterphone.mp3", { inputType: StreamType.Arbitrary }); player.play(resource); played = true; entersState(player, AudioPlayerStatus.Playing, 5e3); player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => { console.log(newState.status); if (newState.status == 'idle' && played) { conn.disconnect(); played = false; } }); //channel.members.forEach(m => console.log(m.id)) } }); how would i do something when the file has finished playing? i'm trying to disconnect it once it has finished playing, but when there's two channels to use, it will join the first one, disconnect immediately and then do the next channel perfectly

[haughty maple]

This may be not the answer but why do you use "entersState" when player already handles it ? and for the stateChange you can simply use

player.on(AudioPlayerStatus.Idle, () => {
   //DO SOMETHING
});   

[royal valley]

i don't know, the guide i was using did it and i asked myself the same thing; i just assumed that it didn't change the state for some reason
i have since resolved this problem btw
my solution was to use the async package

[lapis compass]

Anyone able to help me? I'm getting an error after playing couple of seconds of a song

Pictures of Code + Error:

the player.on error prints this:

[soft bough]

Hi there, im using the discord.js/voice library to just create an audio player; how do I make it so my bot joins the voice channel undeafend?

[haughty maple]

what is voice.getNextResource() ?

[lapis compass]

honestly, i have no clue. some vid told me to put it in apparently it should ge the next song in the queue

but the main problem really is the error aborted thing

idk even why it gives the error "aborted" and the resource is "null" lol, it plays the song for about 30 seconds to 1 minute then it just stops the music and gives the error: aborted with resource null

[soft bough]

@haughty maple Ty, it seems my bot joins the vc and is playing but for some reason I don't hear the audio

Could I post the code maybe and somebody could identify something? I installed all the dependecies for the discord.js voice

const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: channel.id,
            guildId: channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
            selfDeaf: false
         })


         let resource = createAudioResource(("C:\Users\jk076\OneDrive\Desktop\DiscordProject\images\wedem.mp3"), {inlineVolume: true})
         resource.volume.setVolume(1)

         const player = createAudioPlayer();
       
         connection.subscribe(player);
         player.play(resource)
         console.log("done");

[rugged sky]

Do you have the GUILD_VOICE_STATES intent?

[soft bough]

Yes and I can see the little green highlight so I know it's trying to play something

[haughty maple]

Yesterday, I had a similar problem. It was caused by the source file (.mp3). It may be same for you

[lapis compass]

@haughty maple any idea further for me?

[soft bough]

What file type would be best? @haughty maple

[haughty maple]

I don't know I think mp3 is okay. My problem was related to fs. I tried to make my bot speak with google text to speech api and I was trying to use my file before I wasn't done with writing

[haughty maple]

Are you trying to play some audio from youtube ? if yes, which library do you use ?

[soft bough]

I tried with different files didnt work... in terms of the code does everything seem okay?

[soft bough]

This is also thedependency report

[haughty maple]

Try, play-dl. It s a common problem

[haughty maple]

It seems okay. The only thing that may cause problem is your path to the mp3 file. It is better to store them in the project's file and avoid using global paths such as reaching C: etc.

But this is only my opinion. This may not even be related. I would check if it actually finds the mp3 file

[soft bough]

I think I read that only global paths but yes I can try that

How would I go about testing to see if it finds it?

[haughty maple]

You can use "fs" : https://flaviocopes.com/how-to-check-if-file-exists-node/

[soft bough]

@haughty maple I was using backslashes for the path....

[haughty maple]

Oh :P, shit happens bro.

[soft bough]

I thought it was backslash for windows though? I know mac is forward slash

[lapis compass]

Will try this, thank you

[soft bough]

Hi there, for the setVolume

What are the inputs for that? 0 to 1 scaling?

[icy maple]

0 is none, .5 is half, 1 is no change, and 2 is double

[soft bough]

Thank you and i was wondering what the default disconnect timer is for a bot and how would i go about manually disconnecting after a specified time?

[lapis compass]

Default time i have no idea howere you can disconnect the bot by using connection.disconnect() this will allow to rejoin the channel if needed and connection.destroy() is to remove the bot from the channel, with this the bot cant rejoin the channel unless you call the joinchannel thing again.

Connection is the variable you gave the joinchannel thing

[jade parcel]

Hello there. Once I have a voice connection, is it possible to receive events for that connection? Specifically am interested in:

• Someone started speaking
• Someone stopped speaking

[north frigate]

How do i solve this the error is in the descripton https://sourceb.in/7zqg1woeAm

[jade parcel]

Looks like if I create a new VoiceReceiver with the connection, in theory I have access to the SpeakingMap. I think this should tell me what I want to know, but I can't seem to wire up any events in a way that they get called. Would love any help with this.

[sacred lintel]

you have to join the channel through joinVoiceChannel method that you import from @discordjs/voice
<voiceChannel>.join() does not exist anymore afaik

[analog notch]

How do I error check if joinVoiceChannel worked or not?

I've had instances where the bot will not join but the function works without an error. All the promise based checking of the old voice implementation in v12 seems to be gone...

For example, I have no idea how to check if the bot could not connect to a voice channel for some reason. The only other workaround I can think of is to manually check the permissions of the channel before attempting to connect.

[rugged sky]

Store the output of the function in a variable like connection and you can check connection.state.status.

[verbal hemlock]

I am getting this weird error
https://sourceb.in/M7fRRJPSH7

works fine

but after sometimes this error shows up...

someone please help

[green rampart]

const player = createAudioPlayer();

        const resource = createAudioResource('../mp3/track.mp3', {
            inlineVolume: true
        });

        connection?.subscribe(player);
        player.play(resource);

I'm trying to play some audio, but it's not playing anything (it does show the talking indicator on the bot)
is it something with volume that I'm missing?
I can't seem to set the volume anywhere

[green rampart]

I used the wrong path

[fair wasp]

Can bots also go live in a stage channel?

[north frigate]

how would i do so?

[jovial atlas]

how do i use streamlink

[green rampart]

I'm getting a very weird bug when running my bot on ubuntu, it can join and play audio in voice channels just fine, just not when it's done with an OPUS stream. Has anybody else run into this issue?

[rose helm]

all streams are pipelined to opus. I personally encode to ogg opus when using ffmpeg and have no issues

[tribal topaz]

is it possible to join another channel with same VoiceConnection?

[icy maple]

No

Well, i guess if the bot gets moved by another member, the connection will temporarily go out

[green vigil]

So I got my bot working in vc and stuff and audio file, but says it's not playing audio, when there is a green circle around the bot

want my code?

**I fixed it I didn't need the file extension only the start of it

[tribal topaz]

So if moved by GuildMember it can continue playing but we can't move it programmatically?

[icy maple]

You could use joinVoiceChannel again and subscribe it to the player

[green rampart]

I can play a mp3 file (local or remote) fine with ffmpeg tho

How do you encode to ogg opus? I'm using @discordjs/opus with ytdl-core-discord

[civic notch]

How can I deploy a bot efficiently to multiple guilds?

Currently, I have a list of all channeIDs and I iterating through it and create a new connection in every channel...

for(var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    const channel = bot.channels.cache.get(list[i]);
    channel.join().then(connection => {
        player = connection.play(streamURL, {bitrate: 320000});
    });    
}

...but after connecting to 20-30 channels, the music is very lagging

Is there any more efficient way?

[rose helm]

Voice will encode to opus automatically if the track isn't opus. If you're already using ffmpeg, then your base args should look like https://github.com/AmandaDiscord/Volcano/blob/864153f31ce2eac2ec471d2ab8605ad51eee7ab9/src/worker.ts#L192

[rose helm]

You can subscribe multiple connections to 1 player playing a track.

[haughty maple]

what happens to connection when bot gets disconnected by a user ?

[nimble drift]

how to get bot deaf itself on join?

[subtle granite]

can you help me to solve the problem with the acolade please?

[north frigate]

How do i pause a connection

[civic notch]

Thank you very much! I've changed it now to a subscription:

for(var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    const channel = bot.channels.cache.get(list[i]);
    channel.join().then(connection => {
        connection.subscribe(player);
    });    
}

...but the music is still lagging 😦

[rose helm]

your network upload is bottlenecked by streaming to every guild

[civic notch]

Mhh, I have an upload of 924.46Mbps and unlimited traffic 🙄
To 36 guilds, everything is fine... After the 37th guild, it's start to lag

[rose helm]

Then it's possible that the cpu is struggling to keep up since you're putting this all on a single core

if the track isn't opus, then it needs to pipe through ffmpeg as well which is more cpu strain

[civic notch]

Ahhh, yeah this is 24/7 mp3 stream

[rose helm]

Welp. Good luck multithreading. You'd be best off making an audio service independent from your bot similar to LavaLink, but with the assumption that it's all gonna be the same track. You can have a main thread requesting the stream for download and transcoding to opus and then pipe the data to worker threads

[civic notch]

Alright, Async - Thank you very much for the great support!!

[rose helm]

[civic notch]

@rose helm A little question to the subscription thing...

So I try to stop the sub when the channel is empty and when someone joins, I want to start the sub again

So in the event listener if someone joins the channel, I had something like this to get all "existing" voice connections:

bot.voice.connections.forEach(conn => {
}

...but I can't use conn.subscribe for this - Do you have an idea how can I manage this?

[rose helm]

You can't pause playback on a per connection basis when using 1 player since the audio playback is linked to the player

[civic notch]

Mhh, it makes sense...

[icy maple]

You need to look into how audio players and audio resources work bc that’s not how the voice package works

[vale hollow]

is there a way for me to check how long an audio resource has been playing for?

E.g. if I played it for 2 seconds, paused it for 5 seconds. Is there a way for me to know it's played for 2 seconds?

I'm trying to implement rewind/fast forward functionality

[subtle granite]

Is there anything can I do to avoid this issue

But I installed sodium with npm

still not working

Try a different one.

thank you with libsodium its working

Is ist possible that the createAudioResource resoucre is a URL so an internet radio?

[quaint meteor]

yes

[limpid lotus]

Can you tell me how to do that?

[quaint meteor]

Whats the url

I'm using an mp3 stream

[limpid lotus]

Different one but thats an example streams.ilovemusic.de/iloveradio10.mp3

[quaint meteor]

I use the same just pass the string url to createAudioResource

[limpid lotus]

But then i Hear no Audio i only get the green cricle

[quaint meteor]

Check if you have this intent added ```
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES

[limpid lotus]

I think I have enabeled all intents with one line. Or do i need to activate them in the dev portal?

[limpid lotus]

I think I have enabeled all intents with one line. Or do i need to activate them in the dev portal?

Your intents should look like this:

also why its return null ?

the message constructor is used internally.
follow the guide on how to setup a listener and create commands, etc.

[muted pebble]

Does anyone have an example of recording multiple users in a VC?

[mental quarry]

How would one get a discord bot to just simply join a voice channel
I am far too tired to make sense of discordjs.guide/voice right now im sorry

not even to play music
just like to go into a voice channel and be ther

[icy maple]

You just need to look at the installation section and voice connections section

[dusty needle]

discordjs.guide results:
• Library: Voice Connections

[mental quarry]

so id do smth like:

    if (message.channel.send === '!join vc') {
        connection.joinVoiceChannel
    };
});```

(yes ik it looks bad, i havent added anything fancy yet, like prefix etc, im justtrying to get it to join vc

[icy maple]

joinVoiceChannel is an export from the voice package

Also a function that takes an options object, as shown in the guide

[mental quarry]

ohhhhh i reread it
lemme try smth

    if (message.channel.send === '!join vc') {
        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: 922142097983799396,
            guildId: 770641536626589696,
        });
    };
});```

this would be it then (this make s sense to me)

[icy maple]

Ids have to be string

Ur also missing the voice adapter

Also, channel.send is a method, not a string

Prob meant message.content

[mental quarry]

yes
i am tired man sorry

[icy maple]

Nw

adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator

[mental quarry]

"adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,"
i saw thisi beforehand but i just ignored it
what would i use for it ig?
channel.guild I can do
voiceAdapterCreator however?

[icy maple]

Yes, you can do guild.voiceAdapterCreator

[mental quarry]

oh i literally just have to add underneath guildId: whatever it was
adapterCreator: (the channel id).guild.voiceAdapterCreator

[icy maple]

Channel id is not valid here

It has to be the channel object

[mental quarry]

const channel = client.channels.cache.get("922142097983799396");

i added that
im gonna try it all out later

What are the differences between shoukaku and erela.js? Is one better to use than the other? Also in terms of which one is more maintained

[limpid lotus]

Hey, my code doest work can you help me?
I get the green circle and when i try to play audio from an Internet stream and when I enable the intents I get the error:
"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'Client')"

Heres my code:

const { Discord, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const { joinVoiceChannel, getVoiceConnection, createAudioResource } = require('@discordjs/voice');
const { createAudioPlayer } = require('@discordjs/voice');

const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES] });

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on("messageCreate", async message => {

    var channel_id = message.guild.channels.cache.get("922193458767216641");

    var guild_id = message.guild.id

    if (message.content === "test") {

        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: channel_id.id,
            guildId: guild_id,
            adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        });

        const player = createAudioPlayer();
        const resource = createAudioResource('streams.ilovemusic.de/iloveradio2.mp3')
        player.play(resource)

        connection.subscribe(player)
    }
})

client.login("TOKEN");

Would appreciate if you could help me

[boreal crest]

Discord isn't on the same level as Intents in 'discord.js', you probably mean:

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
//...
const client = new Client();

[limpid lotus]

Thanks thats working now do you have an idea about the other thing?

[boreal crest]

What other thing?

[limpid lotus]

Streaming muisc from an internet radio

[boreal crest]

No idea how that works lol
Wait for someone else

[limpid lotus]

Nobodys answering 😦

[limpid lotus]

But thank you

[boreal crest]

It's only been 2 hours, not that bad for something not-so-popular/easy like djs voice;)

[limpid lotus]

Yea your right but I already asked yesterday xD

[limpid lotus]

Got it working xD

[boreal crest]

Ok, congrats xD

[wind arrow]

Why does connection.dispatcher.pause() work but connection.dispatcher.resume() isn't?

[subtle granite]

Hello, I'm making a discord bot with music features just like rythm. I'm brand new to js but have experience with discord.py. That said, I've ecountered issues apparently due to discord.js v13 update. Here's my code : https://pastebin.com/TDnU1xPa

[shy citrus]

i am making a music bot which plays local mp3s

when i pause the mp3 file, it throws typerror

btw i am using v13

[subtle granite]

Can you please help me ? How did you make ur bot join a vc

[shy citrus]

you need to include @discordjs/voice and FFPMEG-Static and libsodium wrappers
you can make your dependencies in package.json this:
"dependencies": { "@discordjs/voice": "^0.7.5", "discord-buttons": "^4.0.0", "discord.js": "^13.3.1", "express": "^4.17.2", "ffmpeg": "0.0.4", "ffmpeg-static": "^4.4.0", "@discordjs/opus": "^0.5.0", "libsodium-wrappers": "0.7.9" }
then, you need to insert this->
`player = createAudioPlayer();
let resource = createAudioResource('Eastside.mp3');
connection = joinVoiceChannel({
channelId: msg.member.voice.channel.id,
guildId: msg.guild.id,
adapterCreator: msg.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});
subscription = connection.subscribe(player);

    player.play(resource)`

you need to create a audio player, initialize a resource and subscribe the connection that youve created to the player then have the player play the resource

also you need to add const { joinVoiceChannel, createAudioPlayer, createAudioResource, NoSubscriberBehavior } = require('@discordjs/voice'); at the start

dont forget to add "GUILD_VOICE_STATES" to your intents

[subtle granite]

thx

[dreamy pasture]

Hi guys, I am trying to make a discord bot that plays music for my first time and I have been struggling for the past week with it crashing when playing songs from YouTube. I don't know why it crashes and after 2 days of stackoverflow I couldn't figure it out. I pasted my relevant code related to music and also the error bellow. If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it a lot.
code: https://pastebin.com/D4CS8dn5
error: https://pastebin.com/A1bzfFKj

[tranquil lance]

Hey, I have a question about a music (private) bot, if I add it to my server where I have some people, this bot becomes public even if it is only on my server?

[haughty maple]

Lemme guess, you use youtube-dl ?

[dreamy pasture]

I use ytdl-core indeed

[haughty maple]

Try play-dl. I never had any problems with it.
It is a common problem with ytdl-core and youtube-dl, If I remember correctly.

[dreamy pasture]

Alright, will try it right now. thanks!

[left plinth]

Hey! So is there NOT a way to destroy an audio resource

I can find nothing in the docs about it. I switch from a live radio stream to a file stream, and that works fine, but if I try and create another/new audio resource of the same live stream, it just doesn't work- AND the previous audio resource still runs even after a call to stop the player.

There's seriously 0 documentation about this and it's driving me nuts. If I can't kill a resource after making it, and it's a live stream, it just drains memory till it crashes

I suppose I could in theory just not use the built in function and make my own with axios but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel

[left plinth]

Ended up re-inventing the wheel because if you destroy it, it doesn't kill the edge cases, which you can't actually kill either without destroying the process pid's

[icy maple]

Could prob just do resource.playStream.destroy()

[left plinth]

That doesn't actually work either. I tried that first given the docs. It destroys the object, and stream to discord, but not the edge cases such as ffmpeg, and does a bunch of other weird nonsense I don't have time to look into

Half this library doesn't actually work it seems, or is poorly documented in the cases where it does work

[candid ridge]

Greetings, fellow human people friends, I'm in dire need of assistance

I'm trying to write a podcast bot where people from different servers can have a bot join their channel and relay audio from one source

The source is another person sitting in a voice channel in some private server, with the bot receiving the audio from the voice channel and relaying it to all the other voice channels

This is my approach:

1. Creating an audio player
2. Everyone who wants to listen to the podcast (from different servers) types -join, the bot joins the channel and the audio connection is subscribed to the audio player
3. One person types -stream in a different server, the bot joins the channel and the audio receiver is subscribed to, and the opus stream is passed to the audio player
4. ...
5. profit??

Here's my code, as well:

const player = createAudioPlayer({
    behaviors: {
        noSubscriber: NoSubscriberBehavior.Play,
        maxMissedFrames: Math.round(config.maxTransmissionGap / 20),
    },
});

async function connectToChannel(channel) {
    const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
        channelId: channel.id,
        guildId: channel.guild.id,
        adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        selfDeaf: false
    });
    try {
        await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 30_000);
        return connection;
    } catch (error) {
        connection.destroy();
        throw error;
    }
}

const client = new Client({ intents: ['GUILDS', 'GUILD_MESSAGES', 'GUILD_VOICE_STATES'] });


function createListeningStream(receiver, userId, user) {
    const opusStream = receiver.subscribe(userId, {
        end: {
            behavior: EndBehaviorType.AfterInactivity,
            duration: 1000,
        },
    });
    
    player.play(createAudioResource(opusStream,
        {
            inputType: StreamType.Opus,
        },
    ));
}

client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
    if (!message.guild) return;
    if (message.content === '-stream') {
        const channel = message.member?.voice.channel;
        const connection = await connectToChannel(channel);
        if (connection) {
            const userId = message.author.id;

            const receiver = connection.receiver;
            
            receiver.speaking.on('start', (userId) => {
                console.log("You're speaking");
                createListeningStream(receiver, userId, client.users.cache.get(userId));
            });

            await message.reply('Listening!');
        } else {
            await message.reply('Join a voice channel and then try that again!');
        }
    }
    if (message.content === '-join') {
        const channel = message.member?.voice.channel;
        if (channel) {
            try {
                const connection = await connectToChannel(channel);
                connection.subscribe(player);
                await message.reply('Playing now!');
            } catch (error) {
                console.error(error);
            }
        } else {
            await message.reply('Join a voice channel then try again!');
        }
    }
});

Please let me know if I have the right idea or if I'm doing this terribly wrong
And if I'm not already doing something terribly wrong - is this going to scale at all?

[upbeat fog]

can someone modify this code and make it work?

pls.

[icy maple]

Resources can’t be reused

[subtle granite]

New error

[icy maple]

Error is straightforward

[subtle granite]

I'm not sure how to work those packages

[icy maple]

Those are all npm packages

I’m assuming you know how to install an npm package

[subtle granite]

Yes which one do you pefer tho?

[icy maple]

First one for best performance

Second one if you have trouble installing the first one and just want to test

[subtle granite]

how would I use sodium?

[icy maple]

Just install it

[subtle granite]

I did same error

[icy maple]

Did the install succeed?

You didn’t see any red messages after it finished?

[subtle granite]

its just sodium right?

[icy maple]

Yea

[subtle granite]

yes it's installed

[icy maple]

Run node -p require("@discordjs/voice").generateDependencyReport()

[subtle granite]

Do I need to require it?

[icy maple]

No

[subtle granite]

hold on I need to put it on my computer its on peble host rn

[icy maple]

Oops, wrap the thing in quotes

Also, it’s a node command, not npm

[subtle granite]

ik i tried both put what in quotes

[icy maple]

Run node -p 'require("@discordjs/voice").generateDependencyReport()'

[subtle granite]

@icy maple

[icy maple]

Is this a PS thing?

[subtle granite]

PS?

[icy maple]

PowerShell

[subtle granite]

no vs Terminal

[icy maple]

No, ur using PS

It says so at the beginning of the line

I’m talking about the quotes disappearing

Mb swap the single and double quotes

[subtle granite]

node -p "require('@discordjs/voice').generateDependencyReport()"

[icy maple]

Yea

"VS Terminal" is just any terminal on ur computer in the app

[icy maple]

Yea, it says sodium isn’t installed

[subtle granite]

i did install it

[icy maple]

Can also check with npm ls sodium

[subtle granite]

it errored

[icy maple]

What was the error?

[subtle granite]

@icy maple

[icy maple]

Run the command shown

Then try to install again

Are you running on ur computer, or on ur host?

[subtle granite]

computer

[icy maple]

Got confused bc you said you installed sodium, but showed a webpage, which I assume is ur host

[subtle granite]

correct

[subtle granite]

errored out once again

[icy maple]

What’s the error?

[subtle granite]

you wanted to run npm config set msvs_version 2015 right?

[icy maple]

Yea

[subtle granite]

it ran that fine when I ran NPm install again the=is was the error

[icy maple]

You need to install python v3

[subtle granite]

why python?

can i do that in the terminal?

[icy maple]

I think you can if you have chocolatey

[subtle granite]

i do i just downloaded it from the website one moment

[icy maple]

Yea

If there’s an option to add it to path, make sure to enable it

[subtle granite]

.

[icy maple]

Restart the terminal

Click on the trash icon in VSC, then the plus sign to create a new terminal

[subtle granite]

retrying

[subtle granite]

sanme error

[icy maple]

Run python3 --version

[subtle granite]

hold on python didn't install properly

Wait yes It did

all the right boxes are check marked in the install

@icy maple

[icy maple]

Where did it install to?

[subtle granite]

C:\Users\mikeo\Appdata\Local\Programs

[icy maple]

https://datatofish.com/add-python-to-windows-path/

You can use method 2 to check if it was added to ur path

[subtle granite]

its there tho

[icy maple]

Try python --version

[icy maple]

Try installing sodium

[subtle granite]

Should I just try the other ones?

[icy maple]

Oh, it’s a different error

You need to install the latest version of Visual Studio including the "Desktop development with C++" workload. For more information consult the documentation at: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows

Install the vs build tools

[subtle granite]

i ran npm install -g node-gyp

[icy maple]

Still need to install the visual studio build tools

[subtle granite]

installed I believe

I got it to work that you for your help

read the guide for v13 voice

v12 voice is not supported anymore

[radiant ridge]

why do i get the error cannot read property of undefined updateOverwrite

vcChannel.updateOverwrite(message.author.id, {
  CONNECT: true
})

[pseudo forum]

vcChannel.permissionOverwrites.edit()

[radiant ridge]

thanks

[pseudo forum]

ah shit

[radiant ridge]

what is it then?

[upbeat fog]

channelId:channel.id,
^

ReferenceError: channel is not defined

[radiant ridge]

channel isnt defined? maybe show ur code

[radiant ridge]

put a space, but idk for sure

also channel is not defined so either you put message.channel.id or you define channel with let channel = "id of your channel"

[upbeat fog]

didnt fixed

[radiant ridge]

read up

[radiant ridge]

can i see your whole code?

[upbeat fog]

wait lemme send you the code

madeby-codelyon

[radiant ridge]

put the const part inside then execute code

[upbeat fog]

ok

@radiant ridge this is the code now no errors

but when i use .play song nothing happenes

[radiant ridge]

thats then up to your code you can log it with try { ...code... } catch (e) { console.log(e) }

[upbeat fog]

stilll no errors

you got any kind of music bot code?

[wide mirage]

Uh

Why is everything null

[fervent estuary]

Do u have guild voice states intent?

[wide mirage]

of course

Who coded this fck package??

there are 3+ memory leaks

Better to use lavalink

[icy maple]

How did you manage to create that many listeners multiple times?

I’ve never had that issue, and I don’t change the max listeners

[wide mirage]

Here is my code:

I don't see what's wrong

[icy maple]

Is this ts transpiled code?

I'd prefer to see the ts code

[wide mirage]

hm no

[icy maple]

You manually wrote all of that by hand?

[wide mirage]

ah no

[icy maple]

I want to see the code before it got transpiled into this

[subtle granite]

Anyone know what this error means?

hi, help please
what i can do with this?

[abstract acorn]

i guess they're either

1. forgot to stop the player
2. forgot to remove the player reference
3. forgot to remove the resource reference
   at least this is what I know about my bot because it was always leaking things lol

---

How can I reuse an AudioPlayer. What I'm currently doing is to destroy every AudioPlayer and AudioResource and removing them from reference, which maybe is not good?

another one, how can I make the bot disconnect after a given time of inactivity without using this settimeout mess

(please mention me when anyone answers)

another one, how can I fix this memory leak? (this part is from the example code so ...)

[icy maple]

Only create the disconnected listener once

[abstract acorn]

oh

[icy maple]

Error says it’s getting created of times

[abstract acorn]

i see, i put this in the play function, which will just recreating this listener a bunch of times

should've put this at the connection creation zone

[icy maple]

Yea, that sounds more reasonable

[abstract acorn]

what about this and the one below this?

[icy maple]

Players are reusable, just keep a reference to it

[abstract acorn]
