ErgYTDL

Description

ErgYTDL is a ytdl-core wrapper optimized for use in Discord bots. But there is a particularity: this version has always updated dependencies by default, so there is no need to change it every single time! This will also help my lazyness :)

What does it do?

First of all, it passes the media through prism-media to extract Opus audio data from a stream without converting it first; if the video doesn't have Opus encoding (which should be at least 1% of the majority of new videos on YT) then it passes data through ffmpeg.

Compatibility

You can use it on both discord.js v12 and v11 without problems. You can also use it as a replacement of ytdl, with the only difference that you MUST await its function call. Here are some examples:

Discord.js v12

const ytdl = require('ergytdl');

async function play(connection, url) {
    connection.play(await ytdl(url), { type: 'opus' });
}

Discord.js v11

const ytdl = require('ergytdl');

async function play(connection, url) {
    connection.playOpusStream(await ytdl(url));
}
