[Bug Report] Autoplaylist does not work until something has been played

Th3Gavst3r commented 7 months ago

Bug Description

When the bot first starts up, the default playlist will never start playing until there has been at least one item played in the server.

Steps to Reproduce

Start the bot
autoplaylist myplaylist
play Bot joins VC, but nothing plays
play xvFZjo5PgG0 After this first song ends, the autoplaylist begins.
stop
play Now the autoplaylist begins even when no song is specified

Expected Result

The bot should always start the default playlist, even immediately after startup.

Additional Info

This seems to be a per-server issue. Playing a song in one server does not fix the autoplaylist feature in any other servers until they have also played at least one item.

If you want the autoplaylist to begin immediately, you need to set a voice channel for it to connect to with the setvc command.

I did have the voice channel set, which is how the bot joins the chat when you run play with no arguments. I forgot to include that step in the reproduction instructions. Even after it joins the channel configured with setvc it still does not start the autoplaylist.

If you have the voice channel set (setvc) and an autoplaylist set (autoplaylist), the bot should join that voice channel and begin playing the playlist when you reboot the bot jar

Oh I see the different behavior with setvc enabled now. However, setvc is also unwanted behavior. When I start the bot, I want it to only start playing when a user requests music to begin. Having the bot join and immediately begin playing on startup is not a complete workaround, and disrupts servers which did not wish to begin music playback. I just want the autoplaylist to begin playing when a user runs play with no arguments.

Having the bot automatically join on startup also presents another bug: #1541
