Update - V4.0 (Official Release)
Kyvora has officially left the Beta phase! After a long testing period and major improvements, I'm confident this is the right step. Huge thanks to everyone who helped test and improve the bot during beta ❤️ What’s New in V4.0 ⚡ Performance Improvements This update focuses on faster playback, faster playlists, and lower CPU usage. 🎧 Faster Song Start • Optimized yt-dlp format selection to Opus (251) for instant streaming • Removed unnecessary format probing • Reduced stream startup overhead 📜 Faster Playlist Loading • Improved YouTube playlist extraction using --flat-playlist --dump-json --skip-download • Music now starts instantly while metadata loads in the background 🔄 Ultra Preload Engine Kyvora now preloads the next two songs automatically, dramatically reducing delays between tracks. Playback workflow: 1️⃣ Song A starts 2️⃣ Song B preloads 3️⃣ Song C preloads 4️⃣ Instant switching 🧠 Smart Metadata Loading Metadata like artist, track name, release date, and lyrics now loads in the background without delaying playback. 🖥️ CPU Optimizations • Reduced extractor overhead • Cleaner yt-dlp spawn arguments • Lower CPU usage during playlist imports 🎧 SoundCloud Improvements 📜 Full Playlist Support SoundCloud playlists now load 100% of tracks correctly (fixed the issue where only 5 songs loaded). 📊 Accurate Metadata Tracks now correctly show: • Title • Duration • Thumbnail • Release date ⚡ Faster Queue Initialization Full playlists now populate instantly, with playback starting in ~200–300ms. 🧠 Smart Metadata Cache Improved caching reduces redundant metadata lookups and lowers yt-dlp calls by ~30–50%.

UPDATE: V3.5 is out!
🎵 Update – Prefix System, Player Redesign & YouTube Mix Fixes ✨ Highlights 🆕 New Slash Command: /setprefix You can now change your server’s message-command prefix (default: !). All classic message commands dynamically follow the configured prefix help / commands automatically display the correct active prefix Fully integrated into the server configuration 👋 Improved Welcome Flow Displays the currently active prefix Includes a quick setup option to instantly change the prefix 🎨 Web Panel Player Redesigned Larger video / cover display area Fully responsive layout No more panel shifting or compression Cleaner and more modern overall appearance 🔧 YouTube Mix Handling – Fully Reworked ✅ Improved Mix Detection isYouTubeMix() no longer falsely detects a Mix when a normal video URL is used: /watch?v=... Even if YouTube automatically appends Mix-related parameters like: list=RD... ➡️ This prevents single videos from being incorrectly treated as massive auto-generated playlists. 🆕 New Helper Function: sanitizeYouTubeSingleVideoUrl() If a URL contains: /watch?v= + list=RD... YouTube "Radio" / Mix parameters The bot automatically sanitizes it to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<videoId> This ensures the bot loads only the intended single video instead of a hidden or auto-generated Mix playlist. 🎵 Updated !play Logic The !play command now: Processes the raw input (trackInputRaw) Applies the sanitized version (trackInput) ✅ Result Correct video detection No accidental loading of large Mix playlists More predictable and stable queue behavior

WEBPANEL UPDATE: V1.2 & UPDATE V: V3.4.1
🚀 Major Security & Playback Improvements We’ve rolled out important updates to improve security, stability, and user experience. 🔒 Playback Protection Added The bot can no longer start playing music unless it is already connected to a voice channel. This prevents unauthorized or unintended playback. 🛑 No More Auto-Join via Webpanel The webpanel no longer sends a voiceChannelId during playback or playlist requests. The bot can now only connect to a voice channel by using the Join button. 🧠 Server-Side Security Enforcement Even if someone attempts to manipulate the webpanel, the API will now block: playUrl requests if the bot is not in a voice channel playlist requests if the bot is not in a voice channel Any direct voice channel injection attempts ⚠️ Improved Error Handling Error codes are now translated into clean, user-friendly messages directly inside the webpanel for a smoother experience.
