Music Services

Pootis-Bot features the ability to play songs through Discord in a voice chat.

How does it work?

Pootis-Bot gets its songs from YouTube. It first searches its own folder with already downloaded songs. If it doesn't find a file that is similar to the search query, it will then download the video and converts it to a .mp3 file.

Setup

Prerequisites

YouTube API setup done

Warning

Old versions of Pootis-Bot cannot download the required files, as my website's URL has changed since 1.0 to 1.1.

Bug

Please note that older versions Pootis-Bot (pre 1.1) have a lot of issues when it comes to the audio services, as they were fairly unstable and typically failed after playing 2~3 songs.

They also do not work on Linux or MacOS.

To enable the audio services, run the command in Pootis-Bot's console:

toggleaudio

This will:

  1. Downloads needed files for audio services (if they are not their already)

  2. Sets up the basic config for audio services (if not done already)


If you ever want to disable audio services, run the same command.
