Youtube discord bot

a simple bot that can play music from youtube

prerequisite for linux

As dependency you need :DPP curl fmt ffmpeg mpg123

Also you need to put somewhere in PATH yt-dlp, for example

sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Installation

Download a linux binary or windows zip archive

Usage

On start of a program it tries to find a BOT_TOKEN file, if it couldn't then its ask you to either enter bot_token retrieved from here in console or manually place a file.

For first time only after placing token you should launch program with -s argument to register bot commands

Then you can invite bot and start playing music with /play

Or if you prefer to compile from source

for linux

  git clone https://github.com/SAANN3/YouTubeDiscordBot
  cd YouTubeDiscordBot
  mkdir build
  cd build && cmake .. && cd ..
  cmake --build build/ -j4
  

for windows

I used a vcpkg for windows build, if you don't have it you should install it first. Then using vcpkg install theese packages

dpp curl fmt getopt getopt-win32 libsodium mpg123 nlohmann-json openssl

   git clone https://github.com/SAANN3/YouTubeDiscordBot
   cd YouTubeDiscordBot
   rm cmake
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="PATH TO VCPKG.cmake" ..
   cmake   --build . --config=release

navigate to ./build/Release

now download a yt-dlp , and put it near our .exe file. Also we need ffmpeg as dependency for yt-dlp.
