Right now it just plays the last part

[honest quail]

Thats because you tried to play while looping over it

they each get overridden by the next one

so only the last plays

[surreal zinc]

I know, but how else can i do that

[loud creek]

by queueing them

[honest quail]

create a queue

[surreal zinc]

How tho xD

[modern finch]

Library: Audio Player

[surreal zinc]

There is no guide for a queue

[loud creek]

store them in an object like an array and after they are done, pop them out

[loud creek]

there isn't coz that's purely a js thing

[surreal zinc]

But then i would be stuck with the same thing, a foreach loop

[loud creek]

how??

please enlighten us with an example

[surreal zinc]

if i have an array

let array = ["url1", "url2", "url3"]

And how can i play them behind each other? I would probably use an foreach loop to play it

but thats excatly the same code as i have now

[loud creek]

who said you have to use a loop?

[surreal zinc]

i do not know how i could do that except for a loop

[loud creek]

plays that song at index 0 > done? pop it out > repeat

[modern finch]

Array.prototype.pop()
The pop() method removes the last element from an array and returns that element. This method changes the length of the array.

[loud creek]

wait nvm.. I meant the other one

[modern finch]

Array.prototype.unshift()
The unshift() method adds one or more elements to the beginning of an array and returns the new length of the array.

[surreal zinc]

1. There are always a different amount of audios in that array
2. I do not know the length of the audios, so i cannot wait

[modern finch]

Array.prototype.shift()
The shift() method removes the first element from an array and returns that removed element. This method changes the length of the array.

[loud creek]

this one.. finally!

[honest quail]

haha third one is the charm xD

Yes, so you basicly add a listener that the song has ended

[loud creek]

I forgot their names, my bad 😔

[honest quail]

then you do another shift on the array etc..

until the array is empty

[surreal zinc]

Could you maybe provide me an code-example? Im a bit confused

i know how to do it with one audio, but not with multiple

Already tried something similar tho

  url.forEach(async element => {
    let done = false
    const resource = createAudioResource(element.url);
    let play = player.play(resource);
    player.on('end', done = true);
    connection.subscribe(player);
    while (true){
      if(done == true)return
    }
  });

[loud creek]

const songs = ['Song1', 'Song2', ...];

// always attach 'songs[0]' to the audio resource
// listen for 'end' event on [player] then pop the first index out with <Array>.shift()
// is there another song in the array? if yes, then repeat 1st step otherwise <Action>
// <Action> can be like leaving Voice Channel

[surreal zinc]

Ahh, smart, let me try

[surreal zinc]

  const resource = createAudioResource(songs[0]);
  connection.subscribe(player);
  player.play(resource);

  player.on("end", () => {
    console.log('The audio player has stopped playing!');
   player.shift()
   const resource = createAudioResource(songs[0]);
   connection.subscribe(player);
   player.play(resource);
});

Could this work (cant try cause im being rate-limited by some api 🥲 )

[loud creek]

wait.. what is player?

[surreal zinc]

const player = createAudioPlayer();

assigned on top of the function

[loud creek]

that's not an array of your songs tho

[surreal zinc]

I just tested it: Doesnt work, it plays the first one and then stops

function play(connection, message){

  let songs = []

  const player = createAudioPlayer();

  const url = googleTTS.getAllAudioUrls(message, {
    lang: langkurz,
    slow: false,
    host: 'https://translate.google.com',
    timeout: 10000,

  });

  url.forEach(async element => {
    songs.push(element.url)
  });


  const resource = createAudioResource(songs[0]);
  connection.subscribe(player);
  player.play(resource);

  player.on("end", () => {
    console.log('The audio player has stopped playing!');
   player.shift()
   const resource = createAudioResource(songs[0]);
   connection.subscribe(player);
   player.play(resource);
});
  

  
  
}

Full function

[loud creek]

you shift your array of songs, not the instance of the Player

just map url by their URL

[surreal zinc]

uhh

im confused

[modern finch]

Array.prototype.map()
The map() method creates a new array populated with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array.

[surreal zinc]

but my code would still work, wouldnt it?

but done

const songs = url.map(x => x.url);

[loud creek]

should throw an error coz tht function doesn't exist on that class

[surreal zinc]

Ok, ill try now

Still not working

[loud creek]

yes

wdym by not working?

[surreal zinc]

player.on("end", () => {
console.log('The audio player has stopped playing!');
player.shift()
const resource = createAudioResource(songs[0]);
connection.subscribe(player);
player.play(resource);
});

The "The audio player has stopped playing" doesnt even get logged

[loud creek]

ahhh, coz it doesn't have such an event

[surreal zinc]

player.on(AudioPlayerStatus.Idle, () => { fixed it

works now, ty!

[loud creek]

👍

[surreal zinc]

Hey again, a small question i just cant seem to fix

  const resource = createAudioResource(songs[0], {
        inlineVolume: true
  })
  const player = createAudioPlayer()
  connection.subscribe(player);
  player.play(resource);

Sometimes it says
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'subscribe')

[loud creek]

wdym sometimes? that's strange

[surreal zinc]

i know

thats why im asking

it def. is connected

[loud creek]

mind showing a snippet of the full code?

should include where you defined connection

[surreal zinc]

Weired, a computer restart fixed that
