MusicBot
MusicBot is a self-hosted Discord bot designed for audio playback, enabling server communities to stream music from YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Vimeo, Twitch, local files, and online radio stations. It manages per-server audio queues and playback state, isolating audio across different Discord guilds while supporting sequential enqueuing from web playlists and local playlist formats like M3U and PLS.
The bot enforces role-based access control through a configurable DJ role permission system, restricting music moderation commands to designated server members. Its architecture separates command routing, audio decoding via the LavaPlayer engine, and playlist parsing into distinct components, with an OAuth2-based invitation flow that generates scoped invite URLs for authorizing the bot on servers where you have Manage Server permission.
Playback capabilities span multiple sources unified under a single interface, including local audio files in common formats, streaming platform content, and continuous online radio streams. The bot processes both web-based playlists and local playlist files for sequential playback, while the guild-scoped audio manager maintains independent player instances and queue state for each server.
