Configuration

After cloning the project and installing all dependencies provide proper Discord API token, default voice channel ID, default text channel ID (for now playing notifications), and url for one or more music stream in config.json file. To acquire channel ID, enable developer mode in Discord and right-click any channel.

Example configuration for radio station:

{
  "prefix": "!a",
  "token": "{BOT TOKEN}",
  "voicechannel": "{VOICE CHANNEL ID}",
  "logchannel": "{TEXT CHANNEL ID}",
  "activity": "Anime Radio",
  "list": [
    {
      "name": "Anime Radio",
      "url": "https://pool.anison.fm/AniSonFM(320)?nocache=0.05"
    }
  ]
}

Example configuration for custom playlist:

{
  "prefix": "!d",
  "token": "{BOT TOKEN}",
  "voicechannel": "{VOICE CHANNEL ID}",
  "logchannel": "{TEXT CHANNEL ID}",
  "activity": "Ranobe Radio",
  "list": [

    }
  ]
}

Starting the application

Since the bot works even when there is no one in the channel, I strongly recommend to use forever or pm2 with cron autorestart for non-stop broadcasting (because of Discord API features the bot has a tendency to transmit silence after 20-30 hours of uptime).

pm2 start index.js --name DiscoBot --log bot.log --time --restart-delay 5000 & pm2 start restart.js --name Restart

Оr you can do it without process managers.

node index.js
