socket randomly stops receiving data

[warm hatch]

I wish. It's exactly the roadblock on my bot. The best I have so far is a very barebones discord.js speaking status exporter that I'm trying to integrate

Please open your own help post

unpack_audio will be None if nobody is talking, can you use this as a trigger to know when to stop?
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=voiceclient#discord.VoiceClient.unpack_audio

[vivid rivet]

yes but my problem is that unpack_audio doesn't get called although someone is speaking

[vivid rivet]

@heavy mica could you try the code example i provided in the stackoverflow question and tell me if you have the same issue. Maybe it's not because of discord/pycord but it's with my internet connection or something

[heavy mica]

you'd need to call it

[vivid rivet]

with what data

unpack_audio as the name suggests unpacks the received voice from the channel. the problem is there is no voice data :/

[heavy mica]

wouldn't the data be in the sink?

why did you delete your original message 👀

I'm not sure exactly, I haven't tested it myself I'm just going off of the docs

[vivid rivet]

first the data gets unpacked, then stored in the sink..

i wanted to delete the thread

[heavy mica]

don't you still need help though?

[vivid rivet]

[heavy mica]

[vivid rivet]

[vivid rivet]

have you tried running the code?

[heavy mica]

no I'm not at my workstation

[vivid rivet]

okay :c

[brazen cape]

Any updates? there is a function in js that can do this but nothing in python. Can we use the discord api directly to check if a user is speaking?
