Deploying commands
Before you can use the bots slash command you first need to add them to your Discord server. You can use the !deploy
command to do so.
After deploying the commands you should be able to see and access them by typing a slash:

Common errors
Here is a list of common errors and how you can fix them.
Dependencies aren't up to date
The packages used in this repository get updated often, especially the ytdl-core package. That is why it is always worth a try updating those if you get an error like invalid URL: undefined
or when the bot crashes when running the play command.
npm install ytdl-core@latest
FFMPEG is not installed on the machine running the bot
The play
command requires FFMPEG to be installed on the machine that is running the bot. You can download it on the official FFMPEG website. Note: This isn't relevant if you use the Dockerfile because it will install FFMPEG inside of the container.
