Shard Reconnection and Voice Connection

Will the voice connection automatically restart if a shard is asked to restart? I've been running into some problems where a shard has to restart and then the audio connection disconnects. Is there a way I can listen for this type of problem and have my bot reconnect when it happens? Or is it already supposed to be reconnecting and this is a bug?

Editing Message Rate Limits

Hey there, I noticed some interesting behavior when it comes to editing messages that I had some questions about. I noticed that when editing a webhook message (may also apply to non-webhook messages) quickly, discord.js handles the rate limits and the edits slowly catch up with time. However, I noticed that if one message is currently catching up with edits, and I send another webhook message and start editing that one, once the first message finishes being completely edited, the other one starts getting edited. However, the difference is, in the second message, the edits immediately catch up to the most recent edit. Is there a way to achieve this type of behavior (where it catches up immediately) for the first message in this scenario? When I edit a message quickly, I'm looking for it to try and update to the most recent version of the message (if it is unable to do so immediately due to rate limits) instead of trying to catch up the edits. Let me know if anyone knows about this (or if you have any questions) 🤔

Reliably Fetching Roles from Member in Guild

How can I reliably fetch a member from a guild (without guild members intent) and ensure that the role information is always accurate when I fetch? I've been running into a problem where when I fetch it, it sometimes gives inaccurate role information. I'm using broadcastEval to perform this action as I'm looking at the role from a specific guild.

Help with Understanding Cache Sweepers

So if I set the interval for a sweeper to every hour, after an hour of my bot being online, if I'm using the users sweeper, it just nukes all the users in cache? Or does it only nuke users that are an hour old in cache? Or something else? 🤔

Checking to make sure a message still exist (Unknown Message Errors)

How can I check if a message still exists after I've gotten the message? I keep getting Unknown Message errors because I'm trying to react to a message that no longer exists. The problem is that my bot thinks it does exist cause it has the message stored in its cache as a variable. What should I do? Is there a way to verify that the message still exists before I try to react 🤷‍♂️

Sharding RAM (switching from internal to traditional sharding)

How much RAM typically does a bot with around 40 shards use? I'm switching my bot from internal sharding to traditional sharding and I'm concerned about how much of a RAM increase I'm going to get by doing that and if my server will have enough RAM for what is needed 😅

70/74-byte UDP packets

Hey there, I was wondering if the voice package is sending 74 byte UDP packets or 70 byte UDP packets? Discord says that they are deprecating sending 70-byte voice packet in replacement for 74 byte UDP packets and so I was wondering which type the package sends currently.

Voice Audio Detection Problems...

Hey, I run a bot which uses the voice packages audio receiving system. I've noticed a problem that appear to occur randomly where the built in VAD (voice audio detection) system appears to stop working at times. The only way to bypass the issue is to have the user manually mute and unmute to trigger the starting and ending of the stream. Anyone else experiencing something like this and is this a known problem? I'll open a Github issue if I don't receive a response soon.

Do shards stay consistent?

Like if one server is on a certain shard and I'm using the automatic settings for totalShards, will that server always be on that same shard even after the bot restarts 🤔

How to wait for all shards to startup using traditional sharding?

So, originally, I thought I would just be able to do this with the ready event, but then I figured out that the ready event is sent when each shard becomes ready. So how can I check when all of my shards are ready?

How to handle Audio Receive Stream Pipeline on Connection Destroy (bot disconnected)

This is my code inside my receiver speaking on start event:

 const opusStream = receiver.subscribe(userId, {
        end: {
          behavior: EndBehaviorType.AfterSilence,
          duration: 800
        }
      });

      const decoder = new opus.Decoder({ frameSize: 960, channels: 1, rate: 8000 });
      const rawAudio = pipeline(opusStream, decoder, () => null);

 const opusStream = receiver.subscribe(userId, {
        end: {
          behavior: EndBehaviorType.AfterSilence,
          duration: 800
        }
      });

      const decoder = new opus.Decoder({ frameSize: 960, channels: 1, rate: 8000 });
      const rawAudio = pipeline(opusStream, decoder, () => null);

The problem is, I believe that 'rawAudio' is causing the following error when the connection is destroyed (bot is disconnected) and a user is speaking at the same time because the stream is not dealt with properly:

Error [ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE]: Premature close

Error [ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE]: Premature close

How can I resolve this and handle the rawAudio pipeline correctly?

Seeing if my bot disconnected with voiceStateUpdate

How through this listener can I check to see if my bot was in the voice channel prior to disconnecting (so I can do things after I know my bot was disconnected from a channel) 🤔

client.on("voiceStateUpdate", async (oldState, newState) => {
}

client.on("voiceStateUpdate", async (oldState, newState) => {
}

I've tried checking the oldState channelId but it always appears to be null. Am I doing something wrong? I'm wondering if my understanding of oldState vs newState is incorrect. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bot does not play audio when audio source is changed from stream to string URL

For some strange reason, when I have my bot change from playing a ReadableStream to playing from a URL in a string, the bot does not play anything. I will note, that when I start the bot playing from a URL string, it works just fine, and when I change the source to a ReadableStream, it works just fine. This issue only occurs when switching from a ReadableStream into a URL string. I've analyzed my code to make sure that there is actual playable audio and I've also checked that the audio resources are identical. I can't find the issue. What am I doing wrong, or is this some strange bug?

How to properly restart a voice connection after bot restart?
