[Audio] Lavalink.jar Status

[aikaterna]

If you are experiencing any problems listed in this issue, they are known and will be addressed as soon as fixes can be identified, written, and published/pushed to a new version of Red. This issue will be edited with new information as it's available to us.

(Last updated Jan 12 2025. Please visit our support server at https://discord.gg/red if you need assistance.)

This information is for our latest Lavalink.jar, released in Aug 2024: version 3.7.12+red.1 and the Lavalink yt plugin version 1.11.2.

"Sign in if you're not a bot" or "This video requires login" or "This video is unavailable" is an IP ban that is usually resolvable by using Oauth.
"This content isn't available" means your Oauth account has been flagged and you need a new one.

With any of these choices, you will need to manage Lavalink.
You will need to pay attention to Red updates where we may update Red's Lavalink.jar or the application.yml, and integrate the changes into your own, modified copy of the application.yml.
See https://docs.discord.red/en/stable/cog_guides/audio.html#setting-up-an-unmanaged-lavalink-node-on-a-remote-vps-or-server. This is not a 1:1 guide for this situation.

"Solutions" which may or may not work for you:

• Find a Lavalink node on the internet and use [p]llset commands to configure your bot
  You will be trusting a service with your bot's IP address and your users' playback queries
  You must use a Lavalink v3 node, not v4
• You can use Oauth - DO NOT USE AN IMPORTANT ACCOUNT
  You must re-arrange the sources used on your application.yml so that TVHTML5EMBEDDED is first and TV is second
  Follow the additional instructions at https://github.com/lavalink-devs/youtube-source?tab=readme-ov-file#using-oauth-tokens
• You can set a potoken
  Follow the instructions at https://github.com/lavalink-devs/youtube-source?tab=readme-ov-file#using-a-potoken
• You can configure your Lavalink host to use IP rotation with an service that is not yet IP banned
  You must have a /64 or greater assigned to you
  A basic guide can be found at https://lavalink.dev/configuration/ipv6/

With any of these methods:
You must provide your own application.yml to:
detail which sources the plugin will use
provide your Oauth information
provide the proper potoken information
outline which rotation strategy you choose to use and your IP block(s)

See the plugin readme for more information.

Release from Apr 2024, version 3.7.11+red.3

"Something broke when playing the track" with a 403 Forbidden error in Lavalink logs

A fix for this issue was added in 3.5.14. Please update your bot to that version and try again. If you continue to experience this issue, after updating please let us know.

Some users may get messages saying "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot".

This seems to be related to where the bot is being hosted - see the above message for 3.7.12

Release from Apr 2024, version 3.7.11+red.2

Some tracks are getting stuck at 0:00.

Trying to play some private videos will result in a more generic traceback that includes the JSON response from the site instead of a proper FriendlyException string.
