StarlingBotJS

A simple music bot for discord with soundcloud and youtube functionality. Spotify support coming soon. Supports auth on soundcloud to play restricted content.

Overall this project will be a WIP most of the time

Install instructions

1. Install neccessary dependencies

• Node v20+
• ffmpeg
• Python 3.12+
• build-essential which includes various tools like make needed for sodium-native to run
  • If on linux/WSL2 sudo apt install build-essential
  • If on OSX install xcode and then CLI tools xcode-select --install
  • If on windows... good luck (joking, but im not sure what is needed as i just use WSL2, maybe visual studio?)

2. Create a .env file with the following information

DISCORD_TOKEN=

You can obtain your discord token from the discord developer portal. The bot will need all intents and voice/message permissions. You can also add the bot to your server through the dev dashboard

3. Enable corpack, pnpm, and install dependencies

   corpack enable

   corpack use pnpm

   pnpm install

4. Run the server

   pnpm start

Note: you can also use pm2 to start the server automatically and run headless.

Connecting SoundCloud Account

You can connect to SoundCloud with your client ID and oauth token allowing the bot to play otherwise restricted content. To learn how to get these values click here. Once obtained simply run the /authsoundcloud command and provide the IDs in the options
