Unable to fast forward streamed tracks

[callunaborealis]

Already tried these solutions

Using the ytdl.downloadOptions.begin param

Doesn't work with audioonly. Also, reportedly does not work consistently for all videos. It was unrecommended for use by the author a few years back too.

Using the t search param

t search param is currently ignored by ytdl so it never passes through.

const trackUrl = (() => {
    if (ff) {
      const url = new URL(track.url);
      url.searchParams.set('t', `${ff}s`);
      return url.toString();
    }
    return track.url;
  })();

  const dispatcher = playlist.connection.play(ytdl(trackUrl, { filter: 'audioonly' }))

Even if this solution worked, I rather not use it as it would most likely trigger 429 errors if the user spams the fast forward function.

Possible solutions

• Using miniget directly or exploring another plugin. Probably if I have the time for this.
