Discord Audio Stream Bot

A simple discord audio streaming bot.

The way the audio flows

• 1. Audio source (e.g. your voice, music from file, sound from game)
• 2. Audio recording device (e.g. microphone, Virtual Cable)
• 3. Discord Audio Stream Bot (This Software)
• 4. Discord Voice Chat (Discord)

Instructions

• Run Discord Audio Stream Bot.exe
• Auto: Follow the instructions on the console window to set up your bot.
• Manual: Close to create a fresh config.json file, fill in your bot token, then run again.
• Type "@YourBotNameHere voice join" in a guild text channel to bring the bot into a voice channel. You can specify a channel by appending its name. You can type "@YourBotNameHere help" to get more details about the commands.
• Now it should be sending audio from your default recording device (your microphone). To change that, use Virtual Audio Cable from Binaries>Tools section.

Tools

• Recommended: Install Virtual Cable, close bot and set "recordingDeviceName" in config.json to "CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)". Don't forget to stream audio into the device CABLE Input or you'll hear nothing.
• Optional: Install Audio Router to replug your favourite audio source to play into CABLE Input, if it doesn't support switching audio output.

Todo/Known issues

• If you get the error "NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework...", right click Commands.dll, go to properties>security and check the box to grant access. No worries the DLL is safe, it contains the command implementations for use in discord text chat.
• Setup flow lacks recording device setting
• voice-listening feature may not work as expected or at all, it isn't important anyway (or is it?)
• After long time the bot may stop sending for unknown reason
• Losing internet connection for a while may require you to restart the bot
• Switching audio devices while in use is unhandled

To compile

• Install Discord.Net package (PM> Install-Package Discord.Net)
• Add Discord.Net library files to output folder (opus.dll, sodiumlib.dll)
• Install Newtonsoft.Json package (PM> Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json)
• Add BASS.NET library files to output folder (no need to register) (bass.dll, bass_fx.dll, bassnet.dll, Un4seen.Bass.dll)
