Not openeing links anymore

[naynesh-p]

since yesterday, running the python script, its not openeing links anymore.

No errors displayed, python scripts launches fine but not opening links
Nothing to my knowledge has been updated.

Anyone else having issues?

[Shivy011]

Yes same issue

[Du-Vincent]

Same here, it actually doesn't recognize any links from other users.
If you send the link yourself, it works.
Hopefully this can be fixed

[Smidelis]

Yes, the same problem here as well.
Tried to fix it, but was not successful until now.

i guess discord doesn't let you read channel messages via the bot. probably we hit some limits with the bot and discord blocked this function for us.

I was guessing so too. I've just read about the Discord API rate limits but wonder how the on_message event is counted.

hopefully someone can fix this

lets leave it cooldown for a day, maybe discord forgive us.

Hi guys , I have a temporary solution.
I am using this : https://github.com/viossat/discord-forwarder
to forward the message to a channel and then the bot(discord-link-opener) can obtain the message content because the message is sent by myself.

I also have some sort of workaround. Dubble#0001 from PartAlert has found something, which I have implement. Just have a look at my fork if you are interested.

I haven't had luck using your fork either.

Just tried it once again and it's running like a charm at my station. Sad, that it's not working for you.

Might be solved, by changing to a different discord.py:

Is that your fork? After installing it this link opener doesn't even work. Any suggestions/ideas?

[Smidelis]

No, that's my fork:
https://github.com/Smidelis/discord-link-opener
And it's working like a charm just got me a 3080.

Nice one, thanks! Was this after installing discord.py-self ?

If not, will it still work with discord.py-self?

[Smidelis]

I have not implemented discord.py-self in my fork. But just have a look at the code, then you will see it.
I don't know, give it a try.

I believe it seems to work with discord.py-self, just changing that last line client.run(token,bot=False) with client.run(token)

[lorddain]

can confirm I was able to get it running by installing discord.py-self (py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py-self)
and changing last line in code as proposed. Thanks a lot!
