const prefix = '!';
const fs = require('fs');
const Discord = require('discord.js');
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of commandFiles){
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Musicbot is online!');
});
client.on('message', message =>{
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);

This is the play command code:
const ytdl = require('ytdl-core');
const ytSearch = require('yt-search');
module.exports = {
name: 'play',
async execute(message, args){
const voiceChannel = message.member.voice.channel;
if (!voiceChannel) return message.channel.send('Musisz być na kanale głosowym by użyć tej komendy!');
const permissions = voiceChannel.permissionsFor(message.client.user);

if (!permissions.has('SPEAK')) return message.channel.send('Nie masz odpowiednich uprawnień');
if (!args.length) return message.channel.send('You need to send the second argument!');
import { joinVoiceChannel } from "#discordjs/voice";
const connection = joinVoiceChannel(
{
channelId: message.member.voice.channel,
guildId: message.guild.id,
adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});
const videoFinder = async (query) => {
const videoResult = await ytSearch(query);
return (videoResult.videos.length > 1) ? videoResult.videos[0] : null;
}
const video = await videoFinder(args.join(' '));

voiceChannel.leave();
});
await message.reply(`:thumbsup: Now Playing ***${video.title}***`)
}else {
message.channel.send('Nie znaleziono wideo');
}
}
}
Pls help

Try replacing import { joinVoiceChannel } from "#discordjs/voice"; with const { joinVoiceChannel } = require("#discordjs/voice");.
This error occurred because you tried using es modules import inside commonjs. You can however use dynamic imports on commonjs if needed.

DiscordJS music bot disconnects immediately after starting to play the song

I try to play a Youtube URL but when it starts playing it stops after 1 second. mp3 files are working fine, it just doesn't work when I try to play Youtube URLs.
Here is my Code:
case 'play':
{
const Channel = ['903334978199388271'];
for (const channelId of Channel) {
joinChannel(channelId);
}
function joinChannel(channelId) {
Client.channels
.fetch(channelId)
.then((channel) => {
const VoiceConnection = joinVoiceChannel({
channelId: channel.id,
guildId: channel.guild.id,
adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
});
const player = createAudioPlayer();
VoiceConnection.subscribe(player);
player.play(
createAudioResource(
ytdl('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPPsOmQh76A'),
),
);
})
.catch(console.error);
}
}
break;

I had the same problem before, the problem is ytdl-core, so you can use ytdl-core-discord instead. Here is an example:
const { Client, Intents, MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js')
const ytdl = require('ytdl-core-discord')
const {
joinVoiceChannel,
createAudioPlayer,
createAudioResource,
StreamType
} = require('#discordjs/voice')
const client = new Client({
intents: [
Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS,
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES /// <= Don't miss this :)
]
});
var prefix = '!'
client.on('ready', async () => {
console.log('Client is Ready...');
});
client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
if (message.content.trim().toLocaleLowerCase() === prefix + 'play') {
const channel = client.channels.cache.get('Channel ID Here')
const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
channelId: channel.id,
guildId: channel.guildId,
adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});
const player = createAudioPlayer();
const resource = createAudioResource(await ytdl('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPPsOmQh76A'), { inputType: StreamType.Opus });
player.play(resource);
connection.subscribe(player);
}
});
client.login('Bot Token Here!');

I'm doing a Discord bot, and having trouble connecting bot to voice channel, any suggestions?

I want to import joinVoiceChannel from discordjs/voice, but it says
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
That's because I'm using .cjs file, if I'm using .js file then nothing will work.
Can anybody help me how to connect DiscordBot to voice channel, I can ping him but can not connect him.

These are the commands I've found on StackOverflow
import { joinVoiceChannel } from "#discordjs/voice";
const connection = joinVoiceChannel(
{
channelId: message.member.voice.channel,
guildId: message.guild.id,
adapterCreator: message.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});

.cjs files are CommonJS. These need require rather than the import keyword
const { joinVoiceChannel } = require("#discordjs/voice")
const ytdl = require('ytdl-core')
const ytSearch = require('yt-search')
And since you have "type": "module" in package.json, the .js files will need the import keyword

const { joinVoiceChannel } = require('#discordjs/voice');
use this above your module.exports and it should start working, but i am having a problem with audio after that, it will join the call but not play any audio
my error code is connection.play(stream, {seek: 0, volume: 1, type: "opus"})
ReferenceError: connection is not defined

discord.js / ytdl-core play command

this is my second question today. I'm using discord.js v13. Earlier I looked into finding out how to make audio play from the bot, and now I am attempting to make a queue work for my discord.js bot. My problem is getting the queue defined from index.js correctly. I will provide the error log along with my code.

Any help is appreciated because I'm really not smart and I'm still trying to learn how all this stuff works, especially with discord.js v13

In
video_player(message.guild, queue_constructor.songs[0]);
You only put two parameters and as you said in the comments, you only had to change it to this to fix your problem
video_player(message.guild, queue_constructor.songs[0], queue, audioPlayer)

voiceChannel.join() isn't a function node v16 discord.js

I made a bot that plays music. I upgraded to NodeJS v16.6.1 and voiceChannel.join doesn't work anymore.
I already tried using const { voiceChannel } = require('#discord.js/voice'); but it just says module not found.
Code:
const ytdl = require("ytdl-core");
const ytSearch = require("yt-search");
module.exports = {
name: 'play',
description: 'Joins and plays a video from youtube',
async execute(message, args) {
const voiceChannel = message.member.voice.channel;
if (!voiceChannel) return message.channel.send('You need to be in a channel to execute this command');
const permissions = voiceChannel.permissionsFor(message.client.user);
if (!permissions.has('CONNECT')) return message.channel.send('You dont have the neccesary permissions');
if (!permissions.has("SPEAK")) return message.channel.send('You dont have the neccesary permissions');
if (!args.length) return message.channel.send('Define Video');
const connection = await voiceChannel.join();
const videoFinder = async (query) => {
const videoResult = await ytSearch(query);
return (videoResult.videos.length > 1) ? videoResult.videos[0] : null;
}
const video = await videoFinder(args.join(' '));
if (video) {
const stream = ytdl(video.url, {
filter: 'audioonly'
});
connection.play(stream, {
seek: 0,
volume: 1
})
.on('finish', () => {
voiceChannel.leave();
});
await message.reply(`Now Playing **${video.title}**`)
} else {
message.channel.send('No videos found');
}
}
}```

As the error says, voiceChannel#join is not, in fact, a function. While it did exist on Discord.js v12, which I assume you were using before updating your Node.js version, note that it is nowhere to be found in the Discord.js v13 documentation on VoiceChannel. Instead, you are to migrate to #discordjs/voice, whose joinVoiceChannel function can be used as a replacement.
