What's different / better

• Click here to see an example of the new Manager creation

Install custom Version:

npm:

npm i Tomato6966/erela.js

yarn:

yarn add Tomato6966/erela.js

Added Support for Regioning System:

When creating the node(s) pass the variable regions, to auto-select the right region based on what region u provide in the players.create(options#region) options!

const nodes = [
  {
    identifier: "USA_NODE", host, password, port
    regions: ["us-east", "us-central", "us-south", "us-west", "brazil"],
  },
  {
    identifier: "GERMANY_NODE", host, password, port
    regions: ["rotterdam", "russia"],
  },
]

When creating the Player, pass the rtcRegion like that:

const { channel } = message.member.voice;
const player = client.musicManager.create({
  region: channel?.rtcRegion || undefined,
  guild: channel.guild.id,
  voiceChannel: channel.id,
  textChannel: message.channel.id,
  selfDeafen: true,
});

// find track:
client.musicManager.search(query, requester, player.node);
// or via player:
player.search(query, requester);

IMPORTANT NOTE!

When using regioning, you must SEARCH on the same NODE as you play the TRACK on, best practice can be found in the JS script above for the search() method, just provide the correct node (the node the player is using)

Added Manager#searchLink

// directly request the link:   node.makeRequest(`/loadtracks?identifier=encodeURIComponent("https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXc6IFF23C9jj")`);
client.musicManager.searchLink("https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXc6IFF23C9jj", requester, player.node);

If you want it to use searchLink() when u do search() then do this:

new Manager({
  forceSearchLinkQueries: true,
})

Added Support for latest Versions of Lavalink (common known plugin searches)

const source = "yt"; // "yt" / "ap" / "sp" / "sc" / "ytm" / "..."
client.musicManager.search({query, source}, requester, player.node);
// e.g. search on spotify 
client.musicManager.search({
   query: "Adele - Hello",
   source: "sp",
}, interaction.user, player.node);

Added instaUpdateFiltersFix Player#Property. - Default: true (update filters & equalizers instantly when u send a filterupdate request with the provided filter functions)

const player = client.musicManager.create({
    ...,
    instaUpdateFiltersFix: true, // to disable it (and save resources) set it to false
})

Position updates every 250ms ( you can change that by doing: new Manager({position_update_interval: 150}))

It is client sided, not server sided, means, that on your client player.position will be more accurate, if the server changes, the client will be updated either way by the server (real) data.

Added Manager#Property: volumeDecrementer

// e.g: new Manager({volumeDecrementer:0.75}); will send to lavalink 75% of the volume not 100%, aka you will hear 75% of the set volume, tho see in the player.volume property the full 100% aka if you do player.setVolume(100); then player.volume == 100 but lavalink receives 75

• I use smt between 0.5 - 0.75 cause then the volume is not TOO LOUD at 100% (default) and not really earrapy at 150% (which users like to do when trolling ;) ) (for reference 1 is the same as not adding the option)

Works for discordeno too (just do guildId.toString() to save players in a queue Click here for rest )

• or any other discord lib ;)

Added Inbuilt Filters

Variables to see which Filter is active:

player.filters.nightcore // READONLY - {Boolean} if it's enabled or not
player.filters.rotating // READONLY - {Boolean} if it's enabled or not
player.filters.tremolo // READONLY - {Boolean} if it's enabled or not
player.filters.vibrato // READONLY - {Boolean} if it's enabled or not
player.filters.lowPass // READONLY - {Boolean} if it's enabled or not 
player.filters.karaoke // READONLY - {Boolean} if it's enabled or not 
player.filters.audioOutput // READONLY - {"stereo"|"mono"|"right"|"left"} how the audio is getting outputted

// only available with lavalink-filter-plugin
player.filters.echo // READONLY - {Boolean} if it's enabled or not

Functions to set the Filters:

player.toggleRotating();
player.toggleVibrato();
player.toggleTremolo();
player.toggleLowPass();
player.toggleNightcore();
player.toggleKaraoke();
// default: stereo, rightChannel is right 100% and left 0%, and leftChannel is invert of rightChannel
player.setAudioOutput("stereo"|"mono"|"right"|"left");
// reset all filters to default
player.resetFilters();

// only available with lavalink-filter-plugin
player.toggleEcho();

You can add in each function their Parameters, Check this file for more infos

Added Manager#validUnresolvedUris for unresolved tracks

• If an unresolved Track is saved from lavalink plugins, like spotify and u wanna search on spotify with that uri, then u should do this:

const Manager = new Manager({
    ...,
    validUnresolvedUris: ["spotify.com"]
})

Self Made Plugins!

You can also use my plugins, which make are better then their originals due to some things missing..

• better-erela.js-deezer | npm i Tomato6966/better-erela.js-deezer / yarn add Tomato6966/better-erela.js-deezer
• erela.js-bandcamp-search | npm i Tomato6966/erela.js-bandcamp-search / yarn add Tomato6966/erela.js-bandcamp-search

Added Manager#forceLoadPlugin for forcing plugin loadings

If you get errors like does not extend plugin, then you can do this to force load it!

const Manager = new Manager({
    ...,
    forceLoadPlugin: true,
})

Added manager.init("clientId", { clientId, clientName, shards });

This allows it, that you can add data from the client once you init the manager! Like clientName or shards Count, you should init the manager either way, once it's ready!

Added More player parameters:

• player.createdAt Date object, when the player was created in LAVALINK
• player.createdTimeStamp Date Timestamp in MS, when the player was created in LAVALINK
• player.connected Lavalink connected state, if it's true, lavalink thinks player is connected...
• player.payload Last payload from playerUpdate Event lavalink sent
• player.ping Ping in ms from Lavalink server. if it's less then 0, it means player is not connected yet

Added Link (Url) Query Validation:

• Manager#allowedLinks Array of Strings of Urls which are allowed
• Manager#allowedLinksRegexes Array of Regexes which must match the link
  • Manager#regex --> Default Regexes applied to allowedLinksRegexes, if not Set (except spotify and deezer links) If provided link to query is not valid, then it throws an error, e.g.

new Manager({
  allowedLinksRegexes: [
    Manager.regex.YoutubeRegex,
    Manager.regex.YoutubeMusicRegex,
    Manager.regex.SoundCloudRegex,
    Manager.regex.SoundCloudMobileRegex,
    // Manager.regex.AllDeezerRegex,
    // Manager.regex.AllSpotifyRegex,
    Manager.regex.mp3Url,
    Manager.regex.m3uUrl,
    Manager.regex.m3u8Url,
    Manager.regex.mp4Url,
    Manager.regex.m4aUrl,
    Manager.regex.wavUrl,

    //Manager.regex.vimeo,
    //Manager.regex.TwitchTv,
    //Manager.regex.appleMusic,
    //Manager.regex.bandcamp,
    //Manager.regex.radiohost,
  ] // these are the default Values with comments, are all available, you can add your custom regexes if you want like this: /regex/ or new RegExp("regex", "flags");
})
// or: accept all the provided regexes:
new Manager({
  ...,
  allowedLinksRegexes: Object.values(Manager.regex),
})

Discordeno

Script for discordeno (sending data to shards)

bot.musicManager = new Manager({
    volumeDecrementer: 0.75,
    position_update_interval: 100,
    nodes: [
        {
            identifier: `Node_1`,
            host: "localhost",
            port: 2333,
            password: "youshallnotpass"
        }
    ],
    // A send method to send data to the Discord WebSocket using your library.
    // Getting the shard for the guild and sending the data to the WebSocket.
    send(id, payload) {
        const shardId = bot.utils.calculateShardId(bot.gateway, BigInt(id));
        // somehow get the shard
        const shard = bot.gateway.shards.get(shardId);
        shard.send(payload);
        
        // if your rest is hosted seperately then just do your typical shard request(s)
    },
});

// in raw event
import { VoiceState, VoicePacket, VoiceServer } from "erela.js";
// code...
switch (data.t) {
  case "VOICE_SERVER_UPDATE":
  case "VOICE_STATE_UPDATE":
    bot.musicManager.updateVoiceState(data.d as VoiceState | VoiceServer | VoicePacket)
  break;
}
