Audio not playing despite properly retrieving URL to audio. No errors.

I'm trying to play a song through a URL (not YouTube) and despite the URL ending with .ogg (i even tried with .mp3), audio isn't emitted. There is no errors or anything alike, it just doesn't play. What do I do please? I have installed FFmpeg, @discordjs/voice and @discordjs/opus. (Code will be in the comments because it's too long)

- What are your intents? GuildVoiceStates is required to receive voice data! - Show what dependencies you are using -- generateDependencyReport() is exported from @discordjs/voice. - Try looking at common examples: https://github.com/discordjs/voice-examples. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved?

(i did remove the unnecessary lines of code for the purpose of this thread)

althruistOP•4w ago

this is the only feedback i got from the bot

althruistOP•4w ago

(also apologies for sending this on #djs-questions, i didn't notice this channel 😅 ) yeah! let me send it here

althruistOP•4w ago

this is if i log response.body alone

althruistOP•4w ago

and if i do the resource:

message.txt

althruistOP•4w ago

it was reporting that it was playing an .ogg.. now it's not? i think its because i installed libopus as i was trying to debug it i see so, remove inlinevolume? or libopus? okay!

d.js docs•4w ago

To debug your voice connection and player: - Use debug: true when creating your VoiceConnection and AudioPlayer - Add an event listener to the <VoiceConnection> and the <AudioPlayer>:

// Add one for each class if applicable
<AudioPlayer | VoiceConnection>
    .on('debug', console.log)
    .on('error', console.error)

// Add one for each class if applicable
<AudioPlayer | VoiceConnection>
    .on('debug', console.log)
    .on('error', console.error)

- Add an error listener to the stream you are passing to the resource:

<Stream>.on('error', console.error)

<Stream>.on('error', console.error)

Note: The <> represents classes that need to be adapted to their respective name in your code

althruistOP•4w ago

okay i will try!

althruistOP•4w ago

i got this status autopaused??? i haven't, let me try nothing i tried doing some research about it, there was an old workaround for it but it seems that it used to be a bug that got patched. im not sure what's going on

althruistOP•4w ago

i tried adding GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates and now its printing these

althruistOP•4w ago

uhh... dunno. it did though LOL OH it just- started playing. half way through the song its working now but it's verrrry choppy..?? how do i go about that? i see, ill do my research on that! i went ahead and utilized it
