Unable to play from external URLs on linux based systems
The bot cannot play from external URLs on linux based systems such as a vps like before but works perfectly on windows. The error was fixed by the developer of DisTube through a custom ffmpeg handler and he suggested to replace prism-media.

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

to my knowledge, the issue is with ffmpeg itself, and that fixing it with a custom ffmpeg handler is more avoiding the issue rather than fixing it
that being said, it can also be avoided by simply streaming from the url yourself with your favorite http module (e.g. undici)
though I'm not fully sure if you were even asking for support
if not, this is your reminder that this is a support channel
why else would i be posting here 🤦, the issue you mention is called premature close ig
i tried what you said and it works, but isn't this inconsistent that urls work on windows but not on linux / ubuntu given most vps use it
for context, i'm trying to stream radio channels from https://ilovemusic.de/streams/
i was told the same that its an ffmpeg problem, so i tried 3 different [free] hosts that run linux with ffmpeg v4-5, none worked. so i tried it locally on ubuntu 22.04 with ffmpeg v6 and still nothing

i see.. ok
the error was fixed for distube but i wouldn't like to use it for something djs already does
thanks for helping
