MusicBot VS NewPipeExtractor

I guess I'll continue to self-host the og music bot. it does everything I asked for in the OP except the integrated discord commands, which seem to be broken (for me).

https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot This one might suit your fancy

I use MusicBot and run it locally during the game.

It took me about 20 minutes to install and setup this bot. It connects through discord, plays YouTube and Spotify, and can run on most rigs assuming you're not on a literal toaster.

https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot They have a Discord if you need help setting him up but it is fairly easy

The public bots I found require me to donate to adjust global volume, so I configured my own bot using this.

Learn how to setup and run one of the many Discord bots available on github (I use https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot)

I used to run https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot on my Raspberry Pi, but that one seems like it might be unmaintained at the moment?

There's this thing called NewPipeExtractor, which scrapes a lot of details from YouTube like videos, comments, and channels. But using it is a bit of a hassle since it requires implementing some abstract class, and its documentation is hard to understand.

For example there is https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor which allows downloading videos. there is https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts which activates Windows, I have tried and it works.

As for native support, it seems the issue for it exists but is pretty quiet so you may want to subscribe to it or lobby for some progress: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/690

See https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/8837 and https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/pull/904 for pull requests with this feature. The extractor PR is also needed for LibreTube (as LibreTube depends on Piped which depends on our extractor).

For an example the youtube/streaming front-end android client NewPipe and its associated "backend" NewPipeExtractor has a lot of machinary to emulate what javascript does in your browser when you ask it to play a video/stream from various websites (most notably youtube). It does take a lot of effort, which is why it often goes into periods of quiet development as the previous maintainers burn-out and new ones take over. But it isnt impossible, but modern websites do not let go of thier content easily. Also note that even this is only read-only, there isnt a mechanism to allow you to post.

NewPipe Team's commits were crucially helpful in resolving the issue. TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#960 (https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/pull/960) THANKS SO MUCH, NEWPIPE TEAM!

You should indeed see them, that's a bug. I opened a new issue for this with some technical details: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1017.
