Just upgrade ytdl-core to latest.

Didn't work.

This error has nothing to do with ytdl-core.
Because according to package.json: '"discord.js": "14.11.0"'
(
While resolving: pagination.djs@4.0.18
Found: discord.js@14.11.0
node_modules/discord.js
discord.js@"14.11.0" from the root project
),
but 'pagination.djs@4.0.18' needs: 'discord.js@"^14.18.0"'
(
peer discord.js@"^14.18.0" from pagination.djs@4.0.18
)
So either downgrade pagination.djs to 4.0.10 or npm install @distube/ytdl-core@latest --legacy-peer-deps.
Mine bot works with this unmet peer so far so I didn't downgrade.

[Kalidibus]

Having same issue. Using "npm install @distube/ytdl-core@latest --legacy-peer-deps" also broke the docker container and it doesn't start anymore.

[kuza11]

Here is my package.json which works with the 2.11.1 release.
If you use some older release it could be different and upgrading can cause issues of course.

For example according to release 2.11.0 changelog

Release v2.11.0
Updated ytdl-core to 4.16.5 distubejs/ytdl-core@4.15.9...4.16.6 which includes distubejs/ytdl-core@1f57d78 fixing the sig parsing
ytdl-core dropped node 18 support distubejs/ytdl-core@60f0ab1 so updated to latest Node LTS 22
Updated to @discordjs/opus v0.10.0 for Node 22 support
Updated to @discordjs/voice v0.18.0 to remove support for depricated encryption https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/releases/tag/%40discordjs%2Fvoice%400.18.0

releases prior to 2.11.0 used node 18 and ytdl-core dropped support for it, so upgrading it could cause your container to not start.
Moreover distubejs/ytdl-core was archived on Aug 16, 2025.

same here, is broken. It will join the voice chat but nothing plays and leaves

[Pohaku08]

I'm also having the same problem.

[candroid-man]

Same here, hoping for a fix soon!

Same issue here, bot joins but never starts playing anything. Using PR 1278 by BigFatherJesus fixes the issue, hopefully we can get those changes pushed to master at some point.
