tl;dr на русском:
бот сломался, я попробовала быстро его починить, но код древний и всратый, поэтому ничего не получилось.
проекту нужно больше времени, сил и внимания, чтобы починить эту и другие накопившиеся проблемы.
я немножко овощ, так что этих ресурсов у меня сейчас нет.
релизить бота в опенсорс я не буду, потому что код говно и мне за него стыдно (не спорьте со мной об этом, пожалуйста).

постараюсь починить как смогу, не знаю когда.
можете попробовать @donateanna, вдруг это меня подбодрит, но обещать что-то сложно.

люблю! аня

so umm.... the bot is broken, yea.
spotify suddenly changed their api responses format, so my bot can't parse them anymore.
i tried quickly patching thta up, but the code is so old and janky, i failed.

it's not the only issue with this project, there are more:
- unstable downloader (often, the audio file wouldn't load, showing an error instead)
- some yandex music auth issues?? idk i never use yandex music, but people complained a lot
- ???? im sure there are 500 more issues im unaware of

meaning, this project needs a lot of attention, some big refactoring and proper maintenance.
sad news: i don't really have much free time i could spend on pet projects such as @nowplaybot anymore since 2020 when i got a full time job >_<
i'll try my best to find some time, but i can't promise anything rn.
also, i've always been better at maintaining stuff i use myself (hence better Spotify support in this bot), and well...
since i don't really listen to music lately (other than some background dnb) bc depression, and have no need to share it, i'm barely motivated to fix that shit.
i usually have more energy in warm seasons, so maybe.. april/may? idk! i hate it all!

i'm not making this open source cuz i hate my 2020 code, sorry.

if you feel like giving me a nudge, feel free to @donateanna. i'll probably feel guilty and will be forced to work on this sooner.

love u, peace out!
anya ^-^

Yandex.Music users might experience problems, but I don’t have any time to look into this as I’m very busy with my full-time job :(

I will try my best to find spare time and investigate this. For now I strongly recommend using Spotify as it’s mostly stable on @nowplaybot.

❤️

New:
You can send a vibing cat ? gif to your friend by typing "@nowplaybot cat".

The cat will vibe to the track you're listening.

Works with Spotify only.

The BPM of the track is obtained from Spotify API, so I'm not responsible for any wrong vibes, you know.

Have you also seen that "no MD5 hash blah-blah" error? Don't tell anyone then. ? I've already fixed that!

⚠️ There are some outage reports but I have no idea what’s wrong, the bot works fine for me. Investigating.

New:
Fixed "this song is not available :(" error for tracks that are not available on Deezer.
The bot will try to download such tracks directly from Spotify

It's VERY slow. It slowly downloads from Spotify in a single thread, then it converts the song from ogg to mp3 with ffmpeg.

?, but works.

Fun fact: 163 users got this error 302 times overall.

The bot is down.
Same as many other services.
Cloudflare and Google DNS are experiencing major outage right now.

I'm sorry :c

UPD: It's up!
