Overview

Stream Strategies are procedures or tools used for getting audio streams and information that is played by our bot. Some stream strategy may have support on more than one site.

Available

There are 2 stream strategy available on Rawon Discord bot at the time of writing this wiki page: YT-DLP and PLAY-DL

Differences

• YT-DLP

  • This stream strategy needs Python (in v3, Windows and MacOS doesn't require Python)
  • Support about more than 100 sites
  • The audio is downloaded first, then played by the bot so there's no buffer while playing the audio (it might took some time to switch between songs).

• PLAY-DL

  • This stream strategy doesn't need any additional requirement/tool
  • Support 4 sites (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Deezer)
  • The audio is streamed directly, faster on songs/audio switching (there might be some buffers while playing songs).
