Basically ive coded my play command with ytdl-core to see if anything is going wrong however it just isn't playing the audio file, it says it's connecting after it joins the channel then it says its playing audio one millisecond later it just disconnects (will send screenshots in a bit)
#Leaves automatically without even touching the audio file once

No errors are thrown
play.ts: https://sourceb.in/0u2ybqONYe
compiled play.js: https://sourceb.in/G8XKmdramh
issue explained above
screenshots below:
this is a screenshot of the bot editing the message right after joining, hasn't even touched the audio file that ytdl piped, at all
my ytfiles folder already has the audio files ready (my play.ts is in ZBot-En \ ZBot-En \ commands)

Why are you downloading the video instead of passing the stream directly to the resource?
I personally use this configs in the Ytdl that may help:
{
quality: 'highestaudio',
highWaterMark: 1048576 * 64,
dlChunkSize: 0,
};
Also add an error listener to:
- The ytdl stream
- The player
- The connection
So you can catch errors

oh fucking hell
i didnt notice that was a solution 🥲
but either way can I still just pass it directly into the stream or how do I do it with YTDL and stuff
oblique kettle
Bc I think your problem is, you are trying to read a video that's not fully downloaded yet

Assign the ytdl function to a const and pass it to the resource
Add the error listeners it will help you a lot!!!
The connection and the player also has an debug event which is useful
quaint pilot
Assign the ytdl function to a const and pass it to the resource
do I still have to do .pipe or what
or do I just pass it directly without the .pipe
oblique kettle
Simple as passing a string
Assign to a const an use it as param
No need for fancy stream things
quaint pilot
const downloadedFile = ytdl(link)
const audioResource = createAudioResource(downloadedFile)
Test it, lol
quaint pilot
or easier
const audioResource = createAudioResource(ytdl(link))
will either work?
ok
but i gotta like compile it all lmfao
oblique kettle
```ts
const downloadedFile = ytdl(link)
const audioResource = createAudioResour...
This is better since you can add the error event
downloadedFile.on('error', console.error)

Also add an error listener to:

- The player
- The connection...

Depends on how your players is configured:

what does this object of options do
It helps ytdl works better with Discord, I got those from the Ytdl server
