DiscordMusicBot

A Discord Music bot so that I don't have to compete bandwidth with others. Eventually planned to be more than a music bot.

v1.3.1

Written by Albion Fung

Current Features:

• Play from name or URL on Youtube
• Pause, skip, resume
• Fix incorrectly queued songs from the bot by going through other query results
• List songs in queue, remove songs from queue, clearing the queue
• Show now playing
• Shorthand commands for all commands
• A cache to keep the 100 most played song data, based on # of plays and recency. Reduces # of API calls

Upcoming Features: Please see issues board.

Reqs: Make sure to have a file config.json in the project's root folder. It must contain:

• prefix for the bot
• developerPrefix for the testing bot (can be the same as above prefix if not using a test bot)
• token for the bot
• developerToken for the testing bot (can be the same as above token if not using a test bot)
• API Key for Youtube API v3
• Path to save cache JSON file

You may freely distribute and use my code as long as your code is:

• open source
• credit me
• credit above refs when using my code
• follow the licenses of the modules used, unless you have your own replacement and do not use the modules I use
• do not directly charge customers for using an application that uses this code base *
• have this same clause for the distribution and integration of your code

*: The code may still be used in a commercial operation as long as it is offered free. For example, you may make use of this code in an operation that makes a profit off of advertisements, as long as you do not charge users to pay for this code's functionality

• including the functionality of this code "free" to certain tiers of purchase but not others is considered charging the user directly.

Note: highWaterMark in ytdl's call gives it 32MB of buffer. If that's too much, please change it manually for your use case.
