bot joins, starts streaming without showing anything, and immediately leaves

[Kekulism]

Having the same issue that asd3344 previously reported, but unlike the previous issue, I am experiencing this on Linux rather than on Windows. Linux Mint specifically, on a Virtual Machine. Whether playing a movie or a youtube video, the bot will join the vc, start streaming (notably without loading any visuals or audio), and then immediately leave the VC.

Had the same issue on Rocky Linux. To get a better idea of the error, open up src/index.ts and make the following change:

async function playVideo(video: string, udpConn: MediaUdp, options: any) {
    console.log("Started playing video");

    udpConn.mediaConnection.setSpeaking(true);
    udpConn.mediaConnection.setVideoStatus(true);

    try {
        let videoStream = streamLivestreamVideo(video, udpConn, options);

        command?.on('progress', handleProgress);

        const res = await videoStream;
        console.log("Finished playing video");
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error) //This change here specifically
    } finally {
        udpConn.mediaConnection.setSpeaking(false);
        udpConn.mediaConnection.setVideoStatus(false);
        command?.kill("SIGKILL");
        sendFinishMessage();
        cleanupStreamStatus();
    }   
}

That change should be at line 463. (Might be worth adding to the code in general imo)

My issue was that discord-js/opus failed to build properly. I re-cloned the repo, re-ran bun install and got another error that I was missing g++. Make sure you have ffmpeg, gcc, g++, and make installed

As @UVClay said, make sure to have ffmpeg, make, gcc, and g++ installed. If you are using Linux Mint, you should run

apt -y install build-essential ffmpeg
