Music outage: more YouTube bans

Published 4 December 2019

YouTube is banning music bots harder; audio is disabled until a better solution is ready.

Martine team

Music outage:
So as you noticed, Martine audio is not working really great since last night.

What's happening:
YT is starting to be even more harder towards the Discord bots. Before it was 2 IP bans per week for me, but since last night I've got something like 6 IP bans on my music node (basically it's where the backend for music is hosted).
And things can be worse next week because of changes from YT ToS, I don't know yet what will exactly happen.
Important note: Don't blame Martine because it is not working, it's an issue for ALL music Discord bots.

What for Martine:
I will continue rotating IPs adresses, but if it happens so often I may not be able to do it everytime. However, there is another solution that may works better. I am on it and let you know on this channel when it will be working for Martine.

Edit: Audio has been completely disabled until further notice. Follow this channel to be informed.
