Common errors

Here is a list of common errors and how you can fix them.

Dependencies aren't up to date

The packages used in this repository get updated often, especially the ytdl-core package. That is why it is always worth a try updating those if you get an error like invalid URL: undefined or when the bot crashes when running the play command.

npm install ytdl-core@latest

FFMPEG is not installed on the machine running the bot

The play command requires FFMPEG to be installed on the machine that is running the bot. You can download it on the official FFMPEG website. Note: This isn't relevant if you use the Dockerfile because it will install FFMPEG inside of the container.
