SimpleBot

This is a simple discord bot which is able to stream audio to a voice channel. Follow the instructions below if you want to set it up for your own machine. It is built using cogs and should be easily extensible.

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project. This file will store your Discord bot token.

Add the following line to you .env file:

If you want to be able to use the audio streaming feature, you may need a cookies.txt file. This file should contain the cookies required for any web scraping or API requests your bot might need.
