Installation

Cloning the Repository

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Oafish1/Discord-Music-Bot
cd Discord-Music-Bot-main

Bot Configuration

Create a discord bot account and get a token. This process is seen here. Do not include discord in your project name. Configure the Bot and OAuth2 tabs as below. After configuring, invite the bot to your server using the link generator on the OAuth2 dropdown (select bot and permissions as below).

Create a file .env with the following contents in the home directory. Where <bot-token> is your bot token, <home-server-id> is the ID of your main server (enable developer mode and right click on the server), and <your-user-id> is your user id (click on your name in the bottom left of the discord window).

BOT_TOKEN = '<bot-token>'
HOME_GUILD_ID = <home-server-id>
DEV_ID = <your-user-id>

Install Dependencies

Download FFMPEG and add ffmpeg/bin to your PATH environment variable.

Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

You may need to install pytube for python separately. As of 2023-07-09, the current distribution of pytube isn't able to parse links properly, and a modification needs to be made to cipher.py in accordance with this issue. The modified version of cipher.py is found in pytube/cipher.py. For this reason, pytube is not included in requirements.txt.

Run the Bot

Start the script

python main.py

On the first run of an age-restricted, unlisted, or private video, the program will ask for OAuth information, and will have you configure the program with google by entering a device code online. Make sure you authorize with the base channel for any email chosen. This is so that age-restricted videos may be played. If you need to reset your OAuth information, delete the pytube/__cache__ folder in your pytube installation. If you do not wish to provide this information, hit enter on the console window and the song will be skipped. Also, pytube cannot currently view age-restricted shorts.

For quick access, you can also create a batch script

@echo off
cd <path-to-repository>
python main.py

Enjoy!
