Musicbot: Issue running bot on my Pi

[zzulanas]

So yesterday I followed this guide to setting up this music bot on the pi, and the music bot is able to connect and all, but when it tries to play music, I get this error

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I tried reinstalling FFmpeg according to the guide, and then did some online research and installed libav, but to no avail, what do?

I had the problem too, but with the audio_cache folder.
After I set the read-, write- and execute-permissions for everyone with the 'chmod'-command my problem was solved. I hope that was helpful.

ffmpeg is not installed or is not properly linked

See the installation guide: https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot/wiki/Guide-for-Raspbian#1d-ffmpeg

If that doesn't work, see: https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot/wiki/FAQ#os-x---warningffmpeg-3xx-already-installed-its-just-not-linked

Same issue for me here!

I've re-installed FFMpeg with the instructions provided 3 times now and still have this issue.

@Matt - the link you provided was for OSX with Homebrew. Not for the Pi :-) please let me know if this is still doable on the Pi (not too knowledgable about homebrew).

All worked dandy until I got to the 'make' stage. Got this error at the very end.

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libx264.a(common.o): relocation R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Pi can be fixed! Please follow the official guide but do not install python 3.5.

I also had al lot of issues on my pi3.
Download Python-3.6.1.tar.xz from https://www.python.org/

Unzip the file and keep the folder in home directory.

Open terminal in that directory and perform the following commands:
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
This will install Python 3.6 but pip3 may not be working.Install necessary modules using:
sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev

Now write the following to re run the installation (EDIT: USE -j4 FOR ALL CORES, WHICH IS ACTUALLY JUST 50% CPU):
sudo make
sudo make install

Now this, even if its again... (If pip3 is not working try pip)
sudo pip3 install numpy
sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev

If not working, do not uninstall a thing but follow the ubuntu 16 guide.

Then try some of my codes again.

I do not have a really good guide because i tried installing the bot and it tooks more than 3 days. Some of these codes fixed it for me. Running 3 bots using python3.6
