[Lavalink] Local Restrictions (Youtube, maybe others) #308

Open schnapster opened 6 years ago

All our track searches are happening from the US location, and while searches return only playable tracks, they are only guaranteed to be playable for the location which is doing the search, which means if a searched track gets a foreign node assigned to play, there is a chance that it will be blocked.

Even if we were to do searches locally with the lavalink node that is about to play the song, there is still the possibility of being reconnected to a different node, and also loading playlists (exported ones for example) is an issue.

I believe this is currently a source of many dropped tracks, since we are running a node in Europe afaik. Disabling it will improve user experience until this (sadly not so trivial) problem is solved.

I have commented out the Paris node in the credentials, effective next restart.
