🎹 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.
why i getting this error
"An error occurred: Command raised an exception: DownloadError: [0;31mERROR:[0m Xx9V0fTDJY0: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data"

@BlazeAnnex how do u download pls
@BlazeAnnex you need to download pynacl again from packages
With native OPUS, networking, and native always up Repls... Repl might just be suitable for hosting a powerful bot.
@xxpertHacker 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.
@PDanielY Yeah, there's also that, I forgot.
@xxpertHacker Containers have limits. Don't push them.
@firefish 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.
@amasad Ok, I might just try it... sound interesting to me! :)
@amasad @firefish 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.
@amasad my bot has grown a lot and it's all on repl :D
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
My bot gives me an error saying: An error occurred: Command raised an exception: DownloadError: [0;31mERROR:[0m query "Godzilla": Failed to parse JSON (caused by JSONDecodeError('Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)'))
Yeah me [email protected]
@DEATHITSELF Do someone know, how to fix it?
have you figured out how to fix it??
@CubingOP

@CoolCoderz133 example: music.play <your youtube video link>
What is the prefix
how did you get the packages package-lock.json and package.json?
Tried to create a discord bot to play music (https://repl.it/@PDanielY/EasygoingPlumHashmaps#index.js).

I get this as error pls help
yeah i got that too? have you figured out how to fix it??
update:you just needed to make your token secret ^^
@DaniDani2006
What are the commands in this bot?
I got this error:
query "raining tacos": Failed to parse JSON (caused by JSONDecodeError('Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)'))
Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "connect" is not found
How can I fix it?
What is the command prefix?
why can't it play youtube playlists?
I lov discord
for me is not working, i tried to play a song, i add at the final
"bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=("$"))
bot.add_cog(Music(bot)"
and i tried to play something with my prefix "$" and doesn't work, do i need to download the packages files that you post it here, or it doesn't matter?
For those people confused with prefix
you can add it yourselves too
in the line:
bot = commands.Bot('music.', description='Yet another music bot.')
change it to
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=("!"),'music.', description='Yet another music bot.')
Here the prefix i set was '!'
What is the prefix and how cna I change it
@expensivesalt80 From what I see the bot doesn’t have a prefix. To change it go to the bottom of the main.py code and find where it says bot = commands.Bot(‘music.’, description=‘Yet another music bot.’). Once you have found that change it to bot = commands.Bot(‘music.’, description=‘Yet another music bot.’, command_prefix = ‘yourprefix’). I hope this helps you and others that may see this message :)
The prefix is music.
Does anyone know the prefix? I dont know what it is.
@Beau222 prefix is music.
Oh sweet! Finally! This is probably gonna be a nightmare to set up with my current bot, but I'm glad this is finally supported.
it says improper token has been passed :'(
mosic shall overtake the world
where can i put the preflix in?
@Tea307307 prefix is music.play
noice
I don't understand. What are the commands? Someone pleaase tell me.
@MarcoFX its 'music.' followed by commands like play, pause, join, etc.
