• What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.
• Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.the simple answer is you cant
the more complex answer is that spotify's api does not offer playback, thus you need to find a different source to play the audio
but how moe works?
?
every bot using spotify just used another source to get their audio
99% of the cases that was youtube
was?
Using yt's api is agains TOS
but what did they use?
Who's they
the bot maker
Of which bot
regardless, using yt is against tos, and i dont even think any sort of music bots get verified no more regardless of the source
Use a package like discord-player
Create an account with Spotify Dev's. Obtain clientId and clientSecret. Then install spotify-web-node I believe that's what it's called. But make the package search spotify retrieve the data then search it via discord-player. MAKE SURE YOU SEARCH VIA AUTO NOT SPOTIFY_MUSIC.
Discord player uses yt and is agains ttos
We do not support TOS violations
True, but you form the search into spotify links therefore it searches with Spotify.
Not youtube
Did you even read at all?
Sootify's api does not support playback
It fetches the audio through youtube
Really? So if I enter open.spotify link it will get it from YouTube???
Yes
YouTube owns Spotify?
Because it plays Spotify exclusive music.
How does that happen?
Spotify only offers data about the track, which is then put into YouTube to search the song
@luna🌈
.
fuck would i know?
All i know is that spotify doesnt allow playback
Thus youtube is used to fetch the song
I advise looking into to discord-player. Because if "YouTube" is playing the song they could face some serious Copy Right issues. I what you are saying is true.
what i'm saying is true
spotify's api does not allow playback
and this has nothing to do with copyright
Some songs Spotify generates by themself. Therefore they own the rights.
what exactly are you trying to achieve? Its agains tos to use yt's api, and that wont change
Explaining that you can bypass yt search. I highly doubt that discord-player searches a Spotify link and magically retrieves data from YouTube.
If what you were saying is true, then why can't I retrieve exclusive Spotify from YouTube but discord-player can? Yes, I don't disagree that discord-player searches youtube, but it also has more than that. Its the same thing with SoundCloud, and Facebook. If you search a Facebook link on YouTube it will say NO RESULTS. Not with discord-player. It can play the video.
It okay though I might be wrong.
I'll investagate later on the topic.
Spotify's api does not allow playback
And trust me I know
And so do most people here when you ask them or google it
Some use other sources yes
But most use yt
Yup your right with the playback. I wonder how they get the exclusive songs then...
I tried looking into their support server but couldn't find one.
