Stop using ytdl or whatever wrapper. Lavalink/Wavelink is a 1000x better alternative.

what is wavelink

An API wrapper for a Lavalnk server

#

Wavelink specifically is a discord.py compatible wrapper, but hellish has a disnake compatible version.
Or you can use mafic (which is kept up to date and the better choice, if I'm being honest)

Lavalink is a java based server that manages connections to Youtube, Spotify, Soundcloud, and local audio files.
It handles all the conversions and such and handles the fetching of stream (audio) data from the sources.

#

So instead of writing a bunch of code to fetch and parse API responses from YT, lavalink handles it all on the server side and sends it to the bot over websocket ready to be streamed to discord.
