The command !songs is not working

Hmm, okay, this is odd, it should work properly, perhaps the songs people are requesting aren’t in the Twitch Music Library… That’s the only thing I can think of that might be an issue at this point.

So to get this right the requests have to be in the playlist first before you can request them? you can’t request unplaylisted music?

sorry for the double post, so i can now request songs through nightbot but not through chat on twitch, but this seems to be just on the !songs command

Yes, I think that might be the issue when requesting from the chat, I’m not 100% sure as I haven’t used the AutoDJ feature before, but that’s how I understand the documentation.

Okay, so for my understanding people in chat should be able to request songs, or is it that only i am able to request songs through nightbot itself?

People can request songs depending on the set userlevel. On the AutoDJ page, under settings you should see the userlevel; set it to everyone. Then ensure !songs is usable by enabling !songs under default commands.

That is what i thought, and if you look at the pictures i sent of my user settings (i assume they are available to view) they should have the correct settings applied, but a third set of eyes are always welcome.
note: none of the !songs commands still work as of this post

Have you tried !sr YouTube_URL?
Also, if you write !songs request make sure to spell songs with an s.

yup, i have tried both forms of the command and even custom commands linking to the base commands and none of them work still

Oh, I think I found the issue, I didn’t notice it at the time, but check if unchecking the box here helps:

awesome! that helps with the whole playlist issue, now only if night bot would listen to songs requests. but i will take a small victory

You mean there’s no audio? It looks like the volume is very low on your screenshots, you also have to keep the page open for the audio to go through in the stream.

I keep the audio pretty low, but i do hear it on stream i just prefer to have it in the background. It is with the command registering, that seem to be where i have the problem not with hearing the audio

sorry i just realized that i should show you how i have been inputting the commands, !songsrequest blah blah blah or !songs request blah blah blah, i have tried both but nothing seem to work but !commands works and a bunch of others just nothing with the command !songs

If !songs is still enabled, that the AutoDJ is enabled, that no !songs custom command exists, it should work just fine.

!sr is an alias of !songs request, so you can also try: !sr dQw4w9WgXcQ
(dQw4w9WgXcQ being the ID of the YouTube video)
It should also work with full URL, or simply search terms.

looking at the data again from the dashboard of nightbot it looks like none of the commands being issued are registering as commands. so it will run commands it sees but my nightbot seems to be blind to the command prompt !songs

Alright, I took screenshots of what should be your settings to give the best chances it’ll work, please take the time to make sure it’s set up correctly, especially the last screenshot, as I think it’s your issue:



yeah… it was the last one. i am such a dumb@$$. well all i can say now is thank so much for your time an patience. the issue was resolved

Awesome, I’m glad to hear that! It’s fine, we often overlook simple things, and I should have thought about sending you screenshot sooner. Have fun with Nightbot!
