LavaPlayer YouTube request starting to get rate limited

See original GitHub issue

I’ve recently started to run into an issue where YouTube requests made by lava player start running into a 429 TooManyRequests response. This keeps happening even when I stop the bot and start a private instance with almost no traffic. The only way to fix this seems to be by changing the server instance’s public IP, then all requests work again even under peak traffic until they don’t and then the cycle repeats. Is that part of YouTube trying to shutdown music bots?

@Mtik333 The two current solutions are either to stop requesting YouTube videos for an unknown amount of time (generally several hours / days) or to use IP rotation like MCOfficer linked.

Thanks, I’ll try to find out how to use this IP rotation.
