How To Play Gtts Mp3 File In Discord Voice Channel The User Is In (discord.py)

Like the title I need to play a gtts file into a voice channel what is the easiest way to do this? I am using python 3.7. Here is my code so far: @client.command(name='repeat') asy

Solution 1:

So, firstly you should put any imports at the start of your file (Same area you import discord)

Now onto the code, I will simplify it a bit. My code does not ask the user for text, instead this code uses the input called after the command. I.e !repeat Hello will speak hello in the voice channel

First, here is some code to connect to a voice channel. For this purpose, we will keep it separate. This is some nice code, and somewhat better then the gtts code I will attempt.

@bot.command()asyncdefconnect(ctx, *, channel: discord.VoiceChannel=None):
    """
    Connect to a voice channel
    This command also handles moving the bot to different channels.

    Params:
    - channel: discord.VoiceChannel [Optional]
        The channel to connect to. If a channel is not specified, an attempt to join the voice channel you are in
        will be made.
    """ifnot channel:
        try:
            channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
        except AttributeError:
            raise InvalidVoiceChannel('No channel to join. Please either specify a valid channel or join one.')

    vc = ctx.voice_client

    if vc:
        if vc.channel.id == channel.id:
            returntry:
            await vc.move_to(channel)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            raise VoiceConnectionError(f'Moving to channel: <{channel}> timed out.')
    else:
        try:
            await channel.connect()
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            raise VoiceConnectionError(f'Connecting to channel: <{channel}> timed out.')

    await ctx.send(f'Connected to: **{channel}**', delete_after=20)

Cool, so now we can connect to the channel. So here's my go at actually doing some gtts work. I wont talk to much, it is all commented. However, if theres an issue just leave a comment :)

The following is the required import from gtts import gTTS

@bot.command()asyncdefrepeat(ctx, *, text=None):
    """
    A command which saves `text` into a speech file with
    gtts and then plays it back in the current voice channel.

    Params:
     - text [Optional]
        This will be the text we speak in the voice channel
    """ifnot text:
        # We have nothing to speakawait ctx.send(f"Hey {ctx.author.mention}, I need to know what to say please.")
        return

    vc = ctx.voice_client # We use it more then once, so make it an easy variableifnot vc:
        # We are not currently in a voice channelawait ctx.send("I need to be in a voice channel to do this, please use the connect command.")
        return# Lets prepare our text, and then save the audio file
    tts = gTTS(text=text, lang="en")
    tts.save("text.mp3")

    try:
        # Lets play that mp3 file in the voice channel
        vc.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('text.mp3'), after=lambda e: print(f"Finished playing: {e}"))

        # Lets set the volume to 1
        vc.source = discord.PCMVolumeTransformer(vc.source)
        vc.source.volume = 1# Handle the exceptions that can occurexcept ClientException as e:
        await ctx.send(f"A client exception occured:\n`{e}`")
    except TypeError as e:
        await ctx.send(f"TypeError exception:\n`{e}`")
    except OpusNotLoaded as e:
        await ctx.send(f"OpusNotLoaded exception: \n`{e}`")

Now, in order to leave the current voice channel you can do the following

@bot.command()asyncdefdisconnect(ctx):
    """
    Disconnect from a voice channel, if in one
    """
    vc = ctx.voice_client

    ifnot vc:
        await ctx.send("I am not in a voice channel.")
        returnawait vc.disconnect()
    await ctx.send("I have left the voice channel!")
