Problem with ffmpeg playback

I have been investigating but I can't find where the problem is located, I have made the following checks: - Creation of the nixpacks.toml file, to specify ffmpeg installation. nixpacks.toml

[phases.setup]
nixPkgs = ['...', 'ffmpeg']

[phases.setup]
nixPkgs = ['...', 'ffmpeg']

- Creation of the file railway.toml, to specify nixpacksVersion installation. railway.toml

[build]
nixpacksVersion = "1.18.0"

[build]
nixpacksVersion = "1.18.0"

- Update of all package.json packages - Specify engines node and npm All this I have tested it starting in local and if it works as it should, when I run in local it plays the music but when I upload it to railway what it does is to jump from song to song in loop because it doesn't seem to play any sound.

Music bots are against Railway TOS

SrGobi•7mo ago

I understand then ffmpeg is banned?

Fragly•7mo ago

It's possible, although I can't say with certainty Nevertheless, best remove this project from railway before you get banned

SrGobi•7mo ago

Of course if it is what I use to reproduce sounds, I also think that in my case I make reproductions of public mixes and with freedom of use, then I do not understand very well why it is forbidden something of free use and own creation. Yes, that's what I'll do if they tell me anything, obviously I'm paying and all that's needed.

Fragly•7mo ago

It's forbidden because they don't want people to distribute DMCA content, although that doesn't really apply to you 🤔 Music Bots in general are banned though so I'd still remove it for now and make sure your use-case is allowed before readding it to Railway

SrGobi•7mo ago

Ok and how can you investigate my use, I obviously what I do is upload my content to github and then I can play it, I do not know if that is a "music bot". But well nothing happens for now I mount it on another site and stop paying here without problem, until it is solved, if it is solved. I leave it in crasheo mode and that's it, I guess it stays paused here, because I really don't know how to pause it hahaha, I can only remove, rebuild and re-upload.

a discord bot that uses distube is a music bot, regardless of what kind of music you play you are using an unofficial api to obtain music from YouTube
