I'm trying to make a discord bot that makes music in a voice channel. But it doesn't do that. It connects to the voice channel, but doesn't play anything and it gives an error in the console.

I'm on windows and I'm using the discord.py rewrite.

My code:

import discord, random, datetime, asyncio, nacl, ffmpeg

TOKEN = 'What token'

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.lower() == '$play':
 if message.content.lower() == '$play':
 channel = client.get_channel(547155964328149007)
 vc = await channel.connect()
 vc.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('mp3.mp3'), after=lambda e: print('done', e))
 vc.is_playing()
 vc.pause()
 vc.resume()
 vc.stop()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
 print('Logged in as 0.user'.format(client))

client.run(TOKEN)

and the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "D:Python35libsite-packagesdiscordclient.py", line 218, in _run_event
 await coro(*args, **kwargs)
 File "discord_bot.py", line 90, in on_message
 vc.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('mp3.mp3'), after=lambda e: print('done', e))
 File "D:Python35libsite-packagesdiscordplayer.py", line 165, in __init__
 raise ClientException(executable + ' was not found.') from None
discord.errors.ClientException: ffmpeg was not found.

People seem to have a similar-ish issue with ffmpeg/avconv was not found in your PATH environment variable but the fix for them is to download ffmpeg from a website and put it in their PATH, but that doesn't work. Also my exact error message is different from theirs.

Further more I can only find fixes for my problem in java, while I'm coding the bot in python 3

here are some links from my research:

You need to add FFmpeg to your path

A java fix for the same error

A fix for discord.py, NOT for discord.py REWRITE

You can specify the FFmpeg excecutible directly with the argument executable:

 vc = await channel.connect()
 vc.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(executable="C:/path/ffmpeg.exe", source="mp3.mp3"))
