player.search fails to find any results for a query

[febkosq8]

Trying to search for a query always returns no search results when we have discord-player-youtubei registered.

Same issue persists with or without authentication

[retrouser955]

Heyyy @febkosq8 could you try 1.0.2? This version includes fixes by @zijipia.

If that doesn't work, could you try manually searching with YouTubei.js?

typescript

import Innertube from "youtubei.js"

const tube = await Innertube.create()

console.log((await tube.search('boy bad')).results)

similarly, getting URL info

import Innertube from "youtubei.js"

const tube = await Innertube.create()

console.log((await tube.getBasicInfo('youtubeid')).basic_info)

[retrouser955]

As per Discord, it is confirmed that search has been fixed and now streaming content is not working. Investigating this rn!

[febkosq8]

Solved with #5 and v1.0.7

Can play youtube songs and playlists now
