🎵 TypeScript Discord Bot

Caution

The bot currently is currently barely usable, there still may be some issues with playing the songs, queuing etc. I haven't looked at this project in a while but there are plans of finishing it someday.

This is a simple Discord bot written in TypeScript that provides basic music playback functionality using yt-dlp wrapper written in ts. The bot allows users to play, pause, and stop music in a voice channel.

The Bot currently handles:

• Spotify
• Youtube
• SoundCloud

Commands

/ping

Replies with "Pong!" to check if the bot is working.

/play <YouTube-Link>

Downloads and converts the song to Opus, then plays it in the voice channel.

• If no song is currently playing, it starts immediately.
• If a song is playing, it adds the new song to the queue.
• If you are not connected to a voice channel the song will not play

/pause

Pauses the current playing song. If paused before, resumed the paused song.

/quit

Disconnects the bot from the voice channel and clears the queue.
