2025.1.0

Happy new year! Hope everyone had a great holiday season. This release makes some quality-of-life changes. Notable changes includes embed support for the "Add to queue" context menu, allowing the bot owner to toggle YouTube support, and a new environment variable to provide a custom FFmpeg binary, if desired.

Notice

Make sure you use the DELETE_INVALID_COMMANDS variable in this release, as the letter case for the "Add to queue" context menu was changed from "Add To Queue" to "Add to queue". Not using this variable during startup will leave behind duplicate commands.

  • Added: The ability for the bot owner to toggle YouTube support. The default toggle is false.
  • Added: New commands:
    • [p]allowyoutube and /settings global allowyoutube
  • Added: New environment variables:
    • FFMPEG_PATH

  • Changed: [p]eval to be more compatible with codeblocks.
  • Changed: Add to queue to support rich embeds, including embeds from links.
    • The bot will use the following in order to parse content: url -> title -> description
      • If the bot wasn't able to find anything in the embeds, it'll use the message's content before failing.
  • Changed: Voice channel status changes will now provide a reason in the audit log.
    • It's known that a reason will not be provided when the status is removed. This is most likely a limitation in the API.
  • Changed: Reverted the player windows to use the title field for track names.
  • Changed: [p]eval now provides a timestamp in the filename when the bot uploads a txt file.
  • Fixed: A potential TypeError exception in [p]maxtime.

Full Changelog

2024.4.1

This is a maintenance release.

Update 10/10/2024

A while ago, I previously stated that ChadMusic was going to be rewritten and rebranded. For now, I've decided to vault the rewrite for the time being and resume active development on this repository. I may return to rewriting the bot in the future, but it will be done on this repository in a seperate branch. I probably won't rebrand the project or anything of that nature since it's not really necessary to do so.

In regards to the Sign in to confirm you're not a bot and Status code: 403 errors, I'm well aware that this is an ongoing issue. As of right now, providing your cookies in the cookies.json file will no longer work if this error occurs. I will be implementing a fix for it in the future, but right now it's currently not my top priority to implement a fix for it at this time. If you have a valid IPv6 range address, try utilizing IP rotation for now.

  • Changed: [Internal] hasExt function will now check if a file exists in Discord's CDN.
  • Changed: [Internal] Merged all createAgent functions into one function.
  • Fixed: Masked links for the Uploader field PlayerWindow showing undefined.
  • Fixed: Build errors occuring when attempting to run the build script or from running npm install. (#21)

Full Changelog

2023.4.0

This is a feature release.

Added

Fixes

  • The bot will now stay in the voice channel if LEAVE_ON_STOP is not true or commented out in the .env file.
  • Fixed an issue in [p]forceskip and /skip force where the bot would send the "Skipping..." prompt regardless if the end of the queue was reached.

Full Changelog

2023.3.2

This is a minor maintenance release.

Changes

  • The license template was changed in all files.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with the instance owner returning undefined in [p]about and /core about. This was also a bug that was suppose to be fixed in 2023.3.1, but the fix failed.

Removed

  • Removed deprecation warning since I decided to resume maintaining message based commands for the bot.

Full Changelog

2023.3.1

This is a maintenance release.

Note

chadtube (my fork of DisTube) is now installable using npm. This will make building the bot so much easier in the future, and eliminates the requirement to clone the repo into the bot's root directory. The build script has been updated to reflect this, so all you need to do is run npm run build or just npm ci for a new or clean installation. In addition to this change, the chadtube directory can now be safely deleted.

Changes

  • Updated dependencies which also adds chadtube as a dependency.
  • Updated [p]about and /core about to include info regarding silent commands.
  • Added a missing timeout to the cancel button in /queue now.
  • If the application is owned by a team, the team's name and icon will be shown in [p]about and /core about.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the instance owner was returning undefined in /core about.

Full Changelog

2023.3.0

This release adds support for IPv6 rotations, and adds a new "pulsator" filter.

Added

  • Adds support for IPv6 rotations.
    • If you have an IPv6 block range (/64 is recommended), you can define it under IPV6_BLOCK in your .env file. You can learn more about it here (and its corresponding PR here) . This requires that you know how to set up IPv6 on your host machine. If you do not know how to, you can just use YOUTUBE_COOKIE instead.
  • Added a new filter: /filter pulsator
  • Added the build number to [p]about

Changes

  • Logger now properly shows the debug label.
  • Refactored internal functions into classes.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue regarding a regex that was used in [p]play, [p]playnow, and /play commands returning undefined.

Full Changelog

2023.2.1

This is a maintenance release.

Added:

  • The build number (the latest commit hash) is now shown in the bot's version string.

Changes:

  • Silent tracks will now stay hidden when using [p]skipto or /skip jump.
  • Reverted a change to how unexpected errors are returned.

2023.2.0

This is the first release of ChadMusic where versions are tracked.

This release adds the ability to silently add tracks to the queue. Silent tracks are hidden in the queue, and will not show in Now Playing embeds, nor will it be mentioned in the currently binded text channel. If you don't wish to use it, you can disable it by running /settings allowsilent toggle:False.

Commands have moved in this release. /stop, /grab => Now subcommands of /player /about, /license, /ping, and /owner => Now subcommands of /core

Various other bugs have been fixed in this release as well, such as the search command throwing an exception when an empty string is provided, or that the usage embed doesn't parse the embed color correctly.

This release will mark message based commands as deprecated. It's recommended to use the bot's slash commands instead. Message based commands will still receive bug fixes if they occur, but no new features will be added going forward.

This is my first time publishing a release on this repository. There may be a chance I might forget about it in the future. In the case that I don't publish a new release, you can keep track of stable releases in the release branch. Anyway, that's all for now and thanks for your interest in using the bot! 👋
