How to make a Discord Music Bot • Discord.js (2022) 

This video took me probably a total of like 20 hours to create, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could leave a like if you found it helpful! Thank you for watching :)

god bless. you went straight to the point instead of a 5 min long intro or whatever most people do. im hungry for these kinds of tutorials.

What a great and comprehensive tutorial! I wanted to ask about displaying the exact elapsed time of the currently playing song, since I wanted to display that in the info page as well. Regardless, this video tackled the essentials that I was mostly interested with, and I'm glad to say that this is very well done!

Make more of these! I love them and very handy and easy to follow

Thank you i made it work after some tweaks, it needed couple lines to be updates because of new discord.js version.

I always get thrown "No results", no matter which music video i try under 5 minutes length. Can anyone help?

Great video, really helped get me started on my own bot. I would be super interested in a video going through some of the extensions and settings you use for VS Code.

thanks man ! its been exactly a year since this video was created, i just realized haha

Hi there niconico! I'm really finding your tutorials very easy to follow. It's been a breeze so far. Though I am curious about the learning curve that's needed to study this. When I went into the discord js documentation it's kind of cryptic and hard to understand. Do you have any tips for someone like me who wants to branch out of the tutorial and learn to navigate on my own?

Hi there! I have snatched your code and fixed up the issues caused by the Discord js changes. The bot now mostly works except for one thing: using the "play" command stops the current song and immediately starts the next one instead of adding it to the queue. It's as if a new queue is created each time. I checked the discord player documentation and it says ".createQueue()" should return the existing queue if there already is one, so I really don't know what the problem is... Do you have a hunch as to what it could be?

he can't find the discord api type module in the index.js can you help me ?

when i tried to do node index.js load in the terminal i got this error i even tried downloading your files from github and i got the same error i did added the .env file and added TOKEN=my token Please could u help me fix this Error: Cannot find module 'dotenv' Require stack: - C:\Users\muham\OneDrive\Desktop\chillbotmusic\index.js at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:956:15) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:804:27) at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1028:19) at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:102:18) at Object.

Whenever i install the name packages i get like 100 errors and a few warns and i cant really tell what kind some say i miss permission to edit stuff and so on

I downloaded ffmpeg-static, but the audio in my channel only comes out of one speaker/side. Any solution?

Note: This problem has been solved. Solution in replies. Hi. I'm having a small problem. When I use the "node index.js load" the console says "Deploying slash commands" but then it says "S[50001]: Missing Access". Thanks in advance for help. I'm sure i just made a mistake in code.

Followed the tutorial and managed to deploy it, everything's fine, bot shows online and command list updated to the server. However my bot does not respond to my slashcommands. I'm getting "The application did not respond". Any ideas?

Hey do you have any idea why when I'm skipping a song. It skips the current song + the first song of the queue ? I'm using the same code as you

Hello, seems like i have kind of a problem with embed, it says, that MessageEmbed is not a constuctor. Could you please help me? ^_^

I did everything correctly & got the bot to log in, but I don't see the slash commands when I type "/" in my chatroom. Any reasons?

I think u think like me I was abt to code a music bot and voila you are here :) ❤️

At the beginning you used two npm commands and then at the end you used a node command, are those part of the ffmpeg package?

@discordjs/opus not working anymore, is this required or can i skip this?

I did every thing good, command loaded, but the bot on discord when I am typing /Play url and enter It says application no responding any solution?

Anyone watching this video and having issues with the queue just doing whatever the hell it wants, run this command in console: npm i discord-player@5.3.2 The recent versions of discord-player are super broken, this will install a version that works for the purposes of this video.

Discord pushed an update to how they handle things server side that has made the code in this bot obsolete, it will always stop playing music after 1 minute.

I have a question, does the bot take music from RU-vid? if the bot pulls music from youtube i would like to learn how to make the bot pull music from spotify. Sorry for my English I'm from Spain

is it possible to host this bot on a server? ive done a similar method but when i try and host it it wont work. i think its because i dont know how to install ffmpeg onto the server. do you know if its possible?

Will there be updated video/code with new discordjs things?

Whenever i run node index.js load or just node index.js i get Error [ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED]: No "exports" main defined

Hi, I keep getting an error saying 'You are not authorized to perform this action on this application' when I type node index.js load can I get some help

Wheres the code for actually playing the queue cause I didn't see it?

Hey, I did everything like you, and when I wanna turn my bot on, this happen: Cannot find module 'dotenv' Throw err; ^ Require stack: *probably 10 or so lines* Code: Module not found', requireStack: (my disk here) } Node.js v18.12.1 [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting

I didn't know where to write the prefix. Please tell me which file and which line. It's easy to follow, but it's hard to understand because I'm not good at English. But I think the video itself is good to follow.

I'm need python for this?

Komutları kullanınca uygulama yanıt vermedi diyor sonra çalışıyor. O uygulama yanıt vermediyi nasıl kaldırabilirim?

i have a erroer : Error: Cannot find module 'discord.js pls help

I can't decide to actually choose language for my bot, Python seems to be much easier, but it has a small amount of tutorials, tho it's very powerful as JS, but JS has much more tutorials. Which one do you guys prefer?

hey, i can't understand how to download the ffmpeg, can you explain?

when i tried it with the prefix command, it does send the confirmation message but did not play the song. I am sure that there are no errors with the command, i coded correctly, it searches correctly, i also added error checks, but not playing the song :( what could be the problem? if you want, i can post the code on pastebin and edit this msg adding the url of that.

Hi there, thx for your tutorial, it was quite easy to follow but I have an interesting situation. When I activate the bot there are no slash commands on the bot. I already executed the "node index.js load" and the bot was invited with the options "bot" & "application.commands" checked. I must wait a certain time or I missed a step? Anyways, great tutorial and thx

After following the video and getting to the last step where I "node index.js load" i get this error. Any suggestions? node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\vgarc\Desktop\JS\index.js' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:778:27) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12) at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47 { code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND', requireStack: []

My bot automatically logs out after 60 seconds :(

Did node index.js load into the terminal and nothing is happening

SyntaxError: Identifier 'Discord' has already been declared comes up with this what to do?

Hi there I loved the video but I encountered a hiccup, my terminal when trying to make a demo is saying "Cannot find module '@discord-api-types/v9'". Can anyone help me to fix it?

hi hopefully you see this comment I'm new to coding In the index.js file when setting up the const why do some have {} example const {REST}

No need to have seperate subcommands, just treat it like a chrome search, if http is present - it's a link. If not, its a query; you can use the actual url to determine if it's a playlist or not

Hey mate first of all i want to thank you for the easy and good tutorial, first one i actually found good and new. The bot works awsome but i wanted to ask you how do i change the bot initiation from "/" to another key and how do i make the bot like just type "/play speed" instead of having of "/play search searchitem speed"

Awesome video so easy to follow

why is it that none of this matches the actual discord.js documentation?

I get this error, Error: Cannot find module '@discord-api-types/v9'. Why do i get this? Someone pls help :D

hello sorry for bothering, I'm always getting this error: "client.slashcommands.set(slashcmd.data.name, slashcmd) ^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')" I don't know how to fix it, could you help me?

Hey nico the bot isnt working anymore did something change from the youtube api or something?

Is there a way to prevent someone from entering a float when trying to skip pages or look at a queue page? Whenever someone entered a float in the field, it would crash my bot.

is this thing working still on node 20.10?

My bot says: Successfully Loaded,. But it doesn't go online. Any fixes? There is no error shown in the terminal it's just not online

Hey I see my bot using the slash commands but it doesn't join the voice channel. does it have something to do with using V14 instead of V13? I've had to change some things so far because of that

Im hosting on heroku, but the bot is showing deafened

can onyone help pls, why does it say this. (node:2740) [NoExtractors] Warning: Skipping extractors execution since zero extractors were registered

Hey, my bot is about to be verified and I cannot use a yotuube wrapper. Is this spotify or soundcloud api?

Thank you for the well-explained tutorial.

what do i need to change to change the prefix into a "!"

what about to play 24/7?

Hi, thanks for the cool video, but there is a question. When I enter "node index.js load" I get an error *index.js:36 client.slashcommands.set(slashcmd.data.name, slashcmd) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name') * The code is exactly the same as in the video

another question, the /play playlist bot is not playing the youtube playlist mix, is there any way to make it play?

If i type this in only errors pop up. There are many npm error texts in the terminal than. Can someone help me?

Nico, I get this error everytime i try to turn the bot on client.slashcommands.set(slashcmd.data.name, slashcmd) ^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

i followed this tutorial pretty well and the only problem i encountered was with the bot in discord, all the code was perfect, nothing wrong, but in discord, every time i would run a command it would say "the application did not respond" can you please help me

I'm getting a error “Module not found ”

Thanks for the video! I'm having a few issues though, when I try to play a song from an url, it just returns "No results" to me. when I use the search function, it finds it but I can't hear the bot

Unfortunately I can't install @discordjs/opus :(

Hello I have a question I did what your tutorial said and I get this error: RangeError [BitFieldInvalid]: Invalid bitfield flag or number: GUILDS. at IntentsBitField.resolve (C:\Users\oscar ode_modules\discord.js\src\util\BitField.js:168:11) at C:\Users\oscar ode_modules\discord.js\src\util\BitField.js:163:54 at Array.map () at IntentsBitField.resolve (C:\Users\oscar ode_modules\discord.js\src\util\BitField.js:163:40) at new BitField (C:\Users\oscar ode_modules\discord.js\src\util\BitField.js:33:38) at new IntentsBitField (C:\Users\oscar ode_modules\discord.js\src\util\IntentsBitField.js:9:1) at Client._validateOptions (C:\Users\oscar ode_modules\discord.js\src\client\Client.js:482:25) at new Client (C:\Users\oscar ode_modules\discord.js\src\client\Client.js:78:10) at Object.

heyy i cant use the slash command you know why ?

I can start the bot but the slash commands say your not authorized to perform this action

thanks for the tutorial, somehow my bot is joining the channel but there is no audio playing :x I think i have the dependencies installed too...

can you help me with this error? throw new RangeError('BITFIELD_INVALID', bit); ^ RangeError [BITFIELD_INVALID]: Invalid bitfield flag or number: GUILD.

How would you play spotify songs? Do you have to use any spotify api?

hi again can you share how you came about building this? you seem to just know how a lot of this works how did you figure it all?

Why would you have an /play info command if you can easily fit that also in the queue **Currently Playing**: [Song] _time-bar_ **Queue**: 1... 2... 3...

awesome video and great community, how do i keep this bot online, i have used replit and a server hosting site in the past but idk how to do it with a local Bot. i am unsure as to how this works.

any way to make the bot play a file uploaded to discord? ex: upload a mp3 file to discord and make the bot play it

Doubt if anybody is going to be reading this, but I'm getting a huge ass error when trying to do npm i @discordjs/opus, any ideas?

Is there an updated guide of this? Hate when they change version of language and everything goes shit itself grrr, they changed a lot starting from this GatewayIntentBits and such ... which I managed with low knowledge of node js (always "played"with javascript in rpg maker mv...) to find GatewayIntentBits.Guilds and GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates but Im getting a error with the collection().

hi me again, the bot stopped playing spotify out of the blue...

Really liked your video. Can you please share the VS code extension which you are using to smooth cursor (|) movement? Or is it just your OS? It's buttery smooth and got a cool animation while scrolling

Thank you so much bro, anyway can you do an extra video on how to make loop command?

Hi this was a great video super easy to understand for someone who has never worked with code before in his life. Was wondering if it was possible to add a prefix to this bot? if so how would you go about doing it ? even if you could point me in the right direction it would be helpful. thank you again.

I keep getting the same error and i dont know how to fix it please help, errno: -4068 syscall: 'read', code: 'EISDIR' if someone knows what this means please help me

hey for the queue, can u say the command for saving the queue?

Btw Nico Can I add this code to the bot already coded, followed by ur tutorials. I really want to add this to the main bot

Not working, when /play searchterm (any song), joins the VC channel, sends the embed with song etc, but no sound and a lot things in console, among others: Cannot play something that has already ended.

Hi. I really liked your way of explaining, but I did some mistakes that I've could fix by mysel or at least most of them, I have this error that says "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'createQueue') ...\slash\play.js:33:47)" and I'm stuck with that, I don't know what to do. Help please :c

Are you using v13 or which version pls reply.

how would you add autoplay?

I copied and pasted the index.js from your github (with changing the IDs) but it gives me an error about a "bitfieldinvalid" related to GUILDS.
