Experiment for making video streaming work for discord self bots
An open-source Discord lib to stream videos on voice channels.
About | Features | Implementation | Requirements | Usage | FAQS
This project implements the custom Discord UDP protocol for sending media. Since Discord is likely change their custom protocol, this library is subject to break at any point. An effort will be made to keep this library up to date with the latest Discord protocol, but it is not guranteed.
For better stability it is recommended to use WebRTC protocol instead since Discord is forced to adhere to spec, which means that the non-signaling code is guaranteed to work.

Extensions supported by Discord (taken from the webrtc sdp exchange)
FFmpeg is required for the usage of this package. If you are on linux you can easily install ffmpeg from your distribution's package manager.
$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
discord.js-selfbot-v13 is required for the usage of this package. If you are on linux you can easily install discord.js-selfbot-v13 from your
$ pnpm add discord.js-selfbot-v13
Create a new client, and patch its events to listen for voice gateway events:
import { Client } from 'discord.js-selfbot-v13'
import { Streamer } from '@gabrielmaialva33/discord-video-stream'
const streamer = new Streamer(new Client())
await streamer.client.login('TOKEN HERE')
Make client join a voice channel and create a stream:
await streamer.joinVoice('GUILD ID HERE', 'CHANNEL ID HERE')
const udp = await streamer.createStream()
Start sending media over the udp connection:
udp.mediaConnection.setSpeaking(true)
udp.mediaConnection.setVideoStatus(true)
try {
const res = await streamLivestreamVideo('DIRECT VIDEO URL OR READABLE STREAM HERE', udp)
console.log('Finished playing video ' + res)
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
} finally {
udp.mediaConnection.setSpeaking(false)
udp.mediaConnection.setVideoStatus(false)
}
Yes, just send the media packets over both udp connections. The voice gateway expects you to signal when a user turns on
their camera, so make sure you signal using client.signalVideo(guildId, channelId, true)
before you start sending cam
media packets.
No, Discord blocks video from bots which is why this library uses a selfbot library as peer dependency. You must use a user token
