About this branch

This branch of MusicBot is only compatible with the rewrite version of the discord.py library, which can be installed using python3 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@rewrite#egg=discord.py[voice]. Since it is a dependency in requirements.txt, the library should be automatically installed with running update.py.

MusicBot is the original Discord music bot written in Python 3.5+, using the discord.py library. It plays requested songs from YouTube and other services into a Discord server (or multiple servers). Besides, if the queue becomes empty MusicBot will play through a list of existing songs with configuration. The bot features a permission system allowing owners to restrict commands to certain people. As well as playing songs, MusicBot is capable of streaming live media into a voice channel (experimental).

Setting up the MusicBot is relatively painless - just follow one of the guides. After that, configure the bot to ensure its connection to Discord.

The main configuration file is config/options.ini, but it is not included by default. Simply make a copy of example_options.ini and rename it to options.ini. See example_options.ini for more information about configurations.

There are many commands that can be used with the bot. Most notably, the play <url> command (preceded by your command prefix) will download, process, and play a song from YouTube or a similar site. A full list of commands are available here.
