Okey, it might be something obvious that ive missed but i really can't find the issue. I am currently making a discord-music-bot which has worked fine before. However as soon as i moved over to yt-dlp from youtube-dl (due to an error with youtube-dl) FFmpegPCMAudio doesn't play the music. It read through the code like normal but it simply doesn't play the sound. It even downloads the music from youtube so I am a bit confused. Here is what my code looks like:
class music_cog(commands.Cog):
#Searching the keyword on youtube
def search_yt(self, item):
with yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(self.YDL_OPTIONS) as ydl:
try:
info = ydl.extract_info("ytsearch:%s" % item, download=False)['entries'][0]
except Exception:
return False
return {'source': info['formats'][0]['url'], 'title': info['title']}
def play_next(self):
if len(self.music_queue) > 0:
self.is_playing = True
#Get the first url
my_url = self.music_queue[0][0]['source']
global current_song_title
current_song_title = self.music_queue[0][0]['title']
#Remove the first song in queue as you are currently playing it
self.music_queue.pop(0)
self.vc.play(nextcord.FFmpegPCMAudio(my_url, **self.FFMPEG_OPTIONS), after=lambda e: self.play_next())
else:
self.is_playing = False
# Infinite loop checking if there is a song in queue
async def play_music(self, ctx):
if len(self.music_queue) > 0:
self.is_playing = True
my_url = self.music_queue[0][0]['source']
global current_song_title
current_song_title = self.music_queue[0][0]['title']
#Try to connect to voice channel if bot is not already connected
if self.vc == None or not self.vc.is_connected():
self.vc = await self.music_queue[0][1].connect()
#In case the bot fails to connect
if self.vc == None:
await ctx.send("Could not connect to the voice channel")
return
else:
await self.vc.move_to(self.music_queue[0][1])
self.music_queue.pop(0)
print("hello")
self.vc.play(nextcord.FFmpegPCMAudio(my_url, **self.FFMPEG_OPTIONS), after=lambda e: self.play_next())
else:
self.is_playing = False
@commands.command(name="play", aliases=["p"], help="Plays a selected song from youtube")
async def play(self, ctx, *args):
query = " ".join(args)
if ctx.author.voice is None:
#User needs to be connected so that the bot knows where to go
await ctx.send("Connect to a voice channel!")
elif self.is_paused:
self.vc.resume()
else:
global song
song = self.search_yt(query)
if type(song) == type(True):
#In case the song is not able to download
await ctx.send("Could not download the song. Incorrect format try another keyword. This could be due to playlist or a livestream format.")
else:
await ctx.send(f"{song['title']} added to the queue, and gets played if nothing else is in the queue or currently playing")
voice_channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
self.music_queue.append([song, voice_channel])
if self.is_playing == False:
await self.play_music(ctx)
I have tried searching on how to use FFmpeg even though I have made it work before. but I haven't found anything of use. I wanted to convert back to youtube-dl but realized that it still won't work because of an issue in thier code. I can't really try anything else since im not getting an error. The terminal displays:
[youtube:search] Extracting URL: ytsearch:heh

[youtube:search] query "heh": Downloading web client config
[youtube:search] query "heh" page 1: Downloading API JSON
[youtube:search] Playlist heh: Downloading 1 items of 1

[youtube] 8EhaZG7i9Bk: Downloading webpage
[youtube] 8EhaZG7i9Bk: Downloading android player API JSON
[download] Finished downloading playlist: heh
hello
I used "heh" as an example searchword and "hello" to check if the code actually read what it where it is supposed to play the audio.
Please help!
