Update - V4.0 (Official Release)

🌐 Major Webpanel Improvements Are Live!

We just shipped a major Webpanel update focused on UI polish, search stability, and better layout balance.

✨ What’s new?

• Search dropdown now always opens downward
• Search fully overlays info sections (no more clipping)
• Fixed z-index & stacking issues
• Improved playing layout (better spacing between artwork & controls)
• Cleaner idle ↔ playing transitions
• Improved responsive behavior
• UI refinements & stability fixes

The Webpanel now feels smoother, cleaner and more consistent overall.

Webpanel Update: V1.4 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

UPDATE: V3.5 is out!

playUrl requests if the bot is not in a voice channel

Any direct voice channel injection attempts
