Discord Player Distube Based Extractor

A extractor for discord-player that uses the DisTube utilities under the hood. Only supports YouTube for now. May add support for other platforms in the future.

Install

npm i discord-player-distube

Supported Platforms

• YouTube (search, videos, playlists and mixes)
• Still under development - Youtube mixes are NOT working ATM.

Usage

import { Player } from "discord-player";
import { DisTubeExtractor } from "discord-player-distube-extractor";

const player = new Player(client);

player.extractors.register(DisTubeExtractor, {
  // optional
  youtube: {
    cookies: "SID=...; HSID=...; ..." || ytdl-core Cookie[],
    ytdlOptions: { }
  }
});

Then use discord-player as usual (player.play(...), etc.).

Options

• youtube.cookies?: string | ytdl.Cookie[]
  • Optional cookies for YouTube (e.g., to unlock age-restricted videos). Provide as a single Cookie header string (e.g., "SID=...; HSID=..."). An array of @distube/ytdl-core Cookie objects is also accepted.
• youtube.ytdlOptions?: ytdl.getInfoOptions
  • Extra options forwarded to @distube/ytdl-core for info/stream extraction (e.g. headers, highWaterMark).

Limitations

• No youtubei/TV OAuth integration
