readable-stream VS node-ytdl-core

If it's a readable stream, you can just directly consume it with an async iterator: https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#streams-compatibility-wit...

Node.js Stream

Note that the older Node.js streams API hasn't been deprecated or removed. It will co-exist with the new API, and it even provides a way to convert from a web stream and vice versa using the .fromWeb() and .toWeb() methods (both added in Node 17, although both methods still retain their experimental status).

Nodejs has piepes with its stream https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html

You then want what's invoked by that event to be consumed as a Response. NodeJS has something to replicate this with stream consumers where you can do all the response.text() you normally do.

First, we create a NodeJS ReadStream using fs.createWriteStream to open the test.log file in "append" mode. Then we start recursively looping using setTimeout. This simulates an application that logs text in the file at a variable rate. At each iteration:

This needs a comparison with streams, which is the standard way to achieve this in Node.js land.

ytdl-core for streaming from Youtube

I have the same problem, opened an issue: https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/issues/1236

Ytdl-core(YouTube download module created with Javascript for Nodejs)

Looks like https://www.npmjs.com/package/ytdl-core is doing your heavy lifting and unless that's a port of yt-dlp I just don't see it. Can you point me to the right place?

I had made a Discord bot to stream music in a voice channel. The bot would use youtube-sr to run a search query, and ytdl-core would download the audio and stream. Pretty simple right?

Ytdl-core

Looking at the "helper" repo https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core there is the mention of support for live videos

I made a private one for my friends server using discord.js and node-ytdl. If you prefer a different language then just search for “discord bot library ” and “youtube download library ” and you can likely figure out the rest.
