Troubleshooting

Bot does not join voice channel

  1. Open Server Settings > Roles > Afterparty Groovy Music.
  2. Make sure View Channels and Connect are enabled.
  3. Open the specific voice channel settings and confirm the bot role is still allowed there.
  4. Join the voice channel yourself, then run /join and /play again.

Bot joins but no audio plays

  1. Open Server Settings > Roles > Afterparty Groovy Music and enable Speak.
  2. In the voice channel user list, check that the bot is not server-muted.
  3. Run /stop and then /play to start a fresh playback session.
  4. Try a different song name or direct link in case the original source is unavailable.

Search commands fail

  1. Try a more specific search, such as song title plus artist.
  2. Test /play with a direct track URL.
  3. If direct URLs work but search does not, it is usually a source lookup issue and not a server permission issue.
  1. Test /play with a direct YouTube link, then retry the Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud link.
  2. If one source fails but normal playback works, it is usually a source lookup or Lavalink provider issue.
  3. All normal sources are free. Groovy+ is optional supporter recognition only, so source access is not tied to supporter status.
  4. Use the Support Server if the same source keeps failing.

Queue behaves unexpectedly

  1. Run /queue first to confirm the current order.
  2. If the list looks incorrect, run /clear once.
  3. Add 1 to 2 tracks and test /skip, /remove, and /move again.
  4. This helps confirm whether the issue is with one old queue item or the full queue.
