I am trying to make a discord.js
music bot with ytdl-core
. I am not quite sure how to seek to a current time in a song when using a command, and searching for help hasn't really done much. The command would work like !seek 1:30
.
What I am looking to find out is either:
a) Does the dispatcher include a seek function?
//i.e like below
let ms = 90000; //would be converted from arguments
queue.connection.dispatcher.seek(ms) //Does this exist???
or b) How can I start a song at a certain time?
//Add the song again, but with a timestamp, and end current song
let seekedSong = queue.songs[0];
seekedSong.startTime = 90000;
queue.songs.unshift(seekedSong);
queue.connection.dispatcher.end()
/* However, how do I start a song given a start time?
*
* In my play.js file, which plays the next song in the queue automatically,
* how can i tell it to start at a time? I tried dispatcher.end() and supplying
* a youtube link with ?t={sec}s, but that didnt work
*/
Discord.js v12
VoiceConnection#play
takes a secondStreamOptions
argument. You can specify how many seconds you want to seek with theseek
