🎹 Discord Music Bots Native Support 🥁

At Repl.it we believe programming should useful, fun, and exciting. Discord bots have been something people loved to make with Repl.it ever since we enabled outbound network connections from repls (yes, we used to disable networking).

Discord music bots, however, didn't work very well if at all. At first, OPUS was missing from our Python environment. Then we also inadvertently blocked voice connections from our servers. So all in all it was a pain. However, today, I'm excited to announce that Music Bots natively work on Repl.it.

The only thing that's currently missing from our images is native ffmpeg support, but that can be worked around by installing ffmpeg-static from npm. I just added the following Python repl to templates to make it easy for you to get started.

I know it works in Node.js too but I didn't have the time to make a nice template. If anyone can make a very simple template for Node.js I'd love to include it in our template library.

I don't understand. What are the commands? Someone pleaase tell me.

its 'music.' followed by commands like play, pause, join, etc.

and

Use this command in shell terminal: pip install -U youtube-dl

mine uninstalls the new version and decides to use the previous one for some reason

my bot gives me a error saying 'An error occurred: Command raised an exception: RuntimeError: PyNaCl library needed in order to use voice' isnt pynaci downloaded already?

Ayo bro, your a life safer

List the commands for the bot.

music.help

Is there a way to add Spotify to the bot?

one issue
An error occurred: Command raised an exception: DownloadError: [0;31mERROR:[0m iI34LYmJ1Fs: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data

Use this command in shell terminal: pip install -U youtube-dl

for people who dont know the prefix, it's "music." you can change this by going to: bot = commands.Bot('music.', description='Yet another music bot.')
bot.add_cog(Music(bot))
and changing 'music.' to whatever prefix you want it to be

where in the code is that line?
i cant seem to find it

last or second last line, near the end

When the bot tried to play the next song it raises this error

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

same error, id love to get an answer on how to fix this

With native OPUS, networking, and native always up Repls... Repl might just be suitable for hosting a powerful bot.

It might be able to host a small bot (a bot in like 20 servers) but it can't host big bots (a bot in like 200+ servers) because of memory and ram.

Yeah, there's also that, I forgot.

Containers have limits. Don't push them.

I don't know, we run some production work on Repl.it on a single container and it serves lots of users. We also have a lot of big bots already hosted on repl.it.

I would try it. If your code is efficient it should work especially with the hacker plan.

In the future, we'll probably have to introduce an even bigger plan.

Ok, I might just try it... sound interesting to me! :)

The biggest problem with most bots hosted here is the actual code and language, usually, they're written in inefficient languages (ex: Python, JS), but what's worse is they're often set up in very inefficient ways.
If you set it up correctly, plan ahead, and know what you're doing, it can perform very well, but this applies even outside of Repl.it.

my bot has grown a lot and it's all on repl :D

where can i find the website it doesn't generate a link or smthing

you guys need to upgrade the youtube_dl

I fix bug: An error occurred: Command raised an exception: DownloadError: [0;31mERROR:[YouTube said: Unable to extract video data
