Unable to command the bot to join any of my voice channels. #70

Hello. I might be using the bit wrong or fail to do something in order to get the desired outcome. I have invited the bot to my discord server, and when I type /join I get an error message saying that the application didn't respond. What can I do to fix this issue?

Are you self hosting or referring to the hosted bot?

SILVERFANG24 commented 8 months ago

I don't know the difference between these 2 options 😅😅😅😅 I invited the free version of the bot found on its invite site, to my own server, don't know if this means that the bot is hosted or I'm self hosting 😅😅😅🤔🤔🤔

In that case you are probably referring to the hosted bot. I recommend you check #39

Ok.... I'm not sure if understood all of this correctly, I read the thread from start to finish. This issue occurs because the bot is offline? Will it ever be turned on again then?

What exactly means self hosting in this case?

Is there anything I can do to actually be able to use the bot or is this a lost cause for me?

I'm looking for a either voice to voice or voice to text translator as I'm currently playing many different games sometimes with many people in the same channel all who speak German with very varying English skills ranging from ok to nonexistent where as I speak and understand very little German and am fluent in only Swedish and English currently, as I'm Swedish.

Self hosting means running the code for the bot on your own hardware/hardware you've rented. Now it depends on whether you are comfortable setting it up.

I can't tell you for certain whether I'll have a financially viable solution for this in the near future. And as a result whether the hosted bot will be back online soon.

Ah ok I see, thank you for the explanation. Hope it works out in the end.

Can't say I've ever done that before so might need instructions for that in case I ever try it. Would it cost anything to self host this bot? And what might the system/memory requirements be for self hosting this code of you happen to know this?

It's possible that at present time I might be unable to self host due to system/memory requirements.

General instructions are available on the main page of this repo. However a good degree of technical proficiency is expected. From my experience direct access to a GPU or potentially some other AI accelerator (not too sure on that though) is basically a must. Just running on some shared CPU on a budget VPS will only lead to very much unacceptable response times. Required memory is rather low though. What I can tell you for certain however is that the bot runs rather well directly off of my M1 Pro Mac.
