Radio

A reliable 24/7 discord bot that streams from ilovemusic.de by default, including any supported direct stream links you provide manually.

If you use a service like centova, shoutcast, or icecast and the stream doesn't work, try re-configuring your stream or using a different streaming format.

Requirements

  • Node.js v18.14.0 or above
  • FFmpeg (version depends on OS by compatibility, prefer latest)
  • Minimum 256MB of RAM

Note: if you can't install ffmpeg, try static binaries from npm like ffmpeg-static, @ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg, etc. but keep in mind that they offer limited functionality.

Features

  • Player controls (button interactions)
  • Controls can be restricted to broadcasters
  • Auto-join (or reconnect) voice/stage channel
  • Autoplay next radio channel on failure (like a playlist)

Drawbacks

For a community that just wants a 24/7 radio, the following limits apply:

  • Single voice/stage channel (cannot change when the bot is in operation)
  • Cannot have more than 75 streams (inclusive of ilovemusic streams if enabled)
  • Stage channels are also supported, but not recommended; also, the bot must be a stage moderator

Configuration

The bot can be easily configured from the config.ts file. If you are about to host it on a vps that supports starting from a bash file you can use the start.sh file (note: you might have to modify these commands if your vps has certain restrictions). If not, you need to run the following commands in a shell:

  • npm install - to install necessary dependencies
  • npm run build - to build the bot
  • npm start - to start the bot

If you get any errors mentioning node-gyp, follow the steps in this node-gyp repository for your system, delete node_modules and package-lock.json file and run the above commands again.
