Play command fails on search/Youtube URLs #167

Closed Einarin closed 3 years ago

Einarin commented 4 years ago

The play command uses youtube-dl, which has received a DMCA takedown by the RIAA. Presumably this is the reason Youtube is broken. Soundcloud URLs have been tested to still work.

might want to consider spotify integration 🤔 alternatively ive already seen a few unofficial forks of youtube-dl that are being maintained. would probably require some changes to the node.js bindings as well

Einarin commented 3 years ago

There was an official update to youtube-dl, so it's working again for now. How would spotify integration work? The only bot I've seen support that actually uses youtube for the audio, see their help article.

Support for spotify links and playlists and such would be super cool and is definitely doable

F9Alejandro commented 3 years ago

Just be careful as we don't want spotify breathing down our necks, plus discord already has spotify integration.

Einarin commented 3 years ago

The main problem here seems to have been resolved with the restoration of youtube-dl. Closing because hopefully there's nothing we need to do.
