It will reconnect the bot to the source so it's still able to stream the video, when this happens, you'll have a strange message in your terminal that you don't need to be worried of. To solve this problem, you have to use that FFMPEG_OPTS variable. However, streaming audio causes a known issue, explained here.To know what the video variable contains, you can print it.ay(FFmpegPCMAudio(source, **FFMPEG_OPTS), after=lambda e: print('done', e)) #Get videos from links or from youtube search Install requests ( pip install requests).Installing youtube_dl ( pip install youtube-dl) if you don't have it.

You're already using youtube_dl (judging by your ydl_opts var). Vc.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('music.mp3'), after=lambda e: print('done', e)) Os.system('ffmpeg -i music.mp4 -map 0:a:0 -b:a 96k music.mp3') Youtube = pytube.YouTube(str(song).strip('(,)'')) Thanks for any input! def play(ctx, *song): I don't care much about smaller code optimizations as this is just a small bot for a few friends and me. How would I go about streaming the audio directly into the VC? I'm open to use youtube_dl in place of pytube3. At the moment, the command downloads the full song, converts it, and then outputs it into a VC, but this process is heavily slow. I have setup a music command that downloads a song from YouTube and outputs it into a VC. I have a discord.py bot setup in a small server of mine.
