Discord radio bot randomly disconnecting

Question

Djs (v12)

Maybe someone is already familiar with this problem in their code and knows the solution. After a few hours of listening, the bot just randomly stops playing music from the web by URL and leaves the voice channel.

Here's a bit of my code where the problem is hiding, thanks for any answers or solutions :-)

const commands = {
    "play-join": {
        process: function(message) {
            
            if (message.content.toLowerCase() == "?play-join") {
        if (message.channel.type == "dm") return;

        const role = message.guild.roles.cache.find((r) => r.name === 'DJ')

        if (!role) return message.reply(`**DJ** role is not created`)
        if (!message.member.roles.cache.has(role.id)) return message.reply(`You need to have ${role} role.`);

        var shuffle1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * connect_log.length);

        const voiceChannel = message.member.voice.channel
        if (voiceChannel) {

            if (!client.voice.connections.some(conn => conn.channel.id == voiceChannel.id)) {
                
            var EventEmitter = require('events');
            const emitter = new EventEmitter()
            emitter.setMaxListeners(0)

                message.member.voice.channel.join().then(connection => {
                        require('http').get("http://STREM_URL", (res) => {
                            connection.play(res);
                            message.channel.send(connect_log[shuffle1]);
                            connection.voice.setSelfDeaf(true);

                        });
                    });
                }
            } else {
                message.reply("Be in a Voice Channel!");
            }}
        }
    }
}

After some time, I had figured it out. If someone is having problems as I did, use stateChange and Idle event, then reconnect if the state changes from playing to Idle. Thanks for your answers guys it really helped!

If you're hosting your bot on Heroku you can try this:

• Add a new file named Procfile to your root directory
• Open the file and paste in this line: worker: node index.js and save it
• Push it to your git repo
• Open up your Heroku project
• Navigate to the Resources tab
• Now there should be a new option called worker: node index.js, edit it so you can activate it

Before hosting my bot on a VPS I hosted it on Heroku too and following this steps made my bot never fall asleep. Hope it helps for you too :)
