Low music quality
Using the default settings of the bot, the music quality we can hear in Discord is bad. The bot runs on the same server as the plex server, and the network quality is not a problem.
Is this a library fault, or can you maybe request a better quality version to plex ?
The files in the library are MP3 320kbps .
The Discord js api (https://github.com/hydrabolt/discord.js/) prefers the node-opus package which is what is being used. I believe Discord limits the audio quality of the opus encode to 96kbps. I will try and investigate this further.
Also, there is a Bitrate setting on each voice channel which (I believe) is defaulted to 64kbps. Click the gear sign next to the voice channel to go to the channel settings and make sure your Bitrate is as high as it will allow. According to this post: https://feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/10453635-support-64-128kbit-s-for-voice-quality Discord channels can reach 96kbps and partnered discord servers can be set up to 128kbps.
