classicfm-discord-bot
A bot that constantly streams ClassicFM, a British classical music radio station, into a Discord voice channel of the user's choosing.
This bot uses an m3u8 stream as its source and joins a channel of the user's choosing until it is forcefully disconnected. This can be helpful if you want to just make a voice channel for peacefully listening to classical music, and it can be used with any mp3 or m3u8 stream.
First, the bot is started using pm2 start bot.js. PM2 is a popular process manager, and will automatically restart the bot if it crashes (and will restart the bot every day at midnight in your timezone). If you do not use PM2 or another process manager, the bot will simply shut down every night at midnight.
To use the bot, type !livestream into any text channel that the bot can access while you are in a voice channel that the bot can access.
Like any other bot, this requires that you make an application (bot) in the Discord Developer Portal.
This mini project quite literally would not have been possible without @ChrisChrome, who basically made the whole fucking thing work and showed me the limitations of both Discord bots and JavaScript as a whole.
