CRITICAL: djs/voice stores the DAVESession wrapper at net.state.dave
(createDaveSession assigns to state.dave on op4 SessionDescription), NOT
inside connectionData. decryptVideoPacket looked up connectionData.dave which
is ALWAYS undefined -> every video packet hit '!dave?.session' guard and was
silently dropped, so no .h264/.mp4 ever got written despite the handshake
reaching Ready.
Fix: pass net.state.dave as a separate arg (the wrapper has .session ->
Davey.DAVESession) so the DAVE-layer decrypt (MediaType.VIDEO) actually runs.
Typecheck + build pass, lint clean (src/), 179/179 tests.
If someone is ALREADY sharing screen / camera on when the bot joins the
channel, no voiceStateUpdate with streaming:true fires for them, so the
bot never sent STREAM_WATCH and missed their video entirely. trackChannel
now scans channel.members and starts a watch for anyone already streaming
(ignoring the bot itself and non-streamers). Idempotent: startStreamWatch
no-ops if a watch already exists. +2 tests (9/9 in videoRecorder).
Replace the dead selfbot-v13 video path (WS 4017 DAVE). videoRecorder
now delegates to a new streamWatchReceiver that:
- sends STREAM_WATCH (op 20) on voiceState.streaming
- opens a @discordjs/voice Networking to the watch RTC (STREAM_CREATE +
STREAM_SERVER_UPDATE) with DAVE enabled
- decrypts H264 via Davey MediaType.VIDEO, depacketizes + muxes to mp4
- tears down on streaming-stop / leave / untrack
Remove ensureSelfbotVoice/createVideoStream/joinStreamConnection (dead).
recorder.ts no longer fires the futile eager selfbot join.
Video capture (camera + screen share) recorded ZERO frames because the selfbot
ClientVoiceManager.connection was created LAZILY — only when a user started
streaming. At that point the bot is already connected via @discordjs/voice, so
the selfbot re-join never gets a fresh VOICE_SERVER_UPDATE and times out with
VOICE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT after 15s. joinStreamConnection (STREAM_WATCH) +
receiver.createVideoStream both need that selfbot VoiceConnection CONNECTED.
Fix: establish the selfbot VoiceConnection eagerly in recorder.startRecording,
BEFORE joinVoiceChannel, so it rides the bot's fresh join (Discord emits
VOICE_SERVER_UPDATE → selfbot authenticates). videoRecorder reuses the cached
connection per guild, tears it down on voice stop/destroy. Best-effort — never
blocks audio recording.
Verified: typecheck + build + biome (src/) green; 9/9 videoRecorder tests.
Root cause of why Phase A/B captured zero video: @discordjs/voice is audio-only
and never sends the gateway STREAM_WATCH signal, so Discord never forwards a
member's video RTP to the bot. Live diagnostic confirmed: while members were
sharing, audio .ogg files flowed for many users but no non-opus RTP ever
arrived.
Correct path: discord.js-selfbot-v13 ships a complete native watch/record stack.
New src/modules/voice-recording/videoRecorder.ts:
- Detects streamers via voiceState.streaming on a single idempotent
voiceStateUpdate listener.
- client.voice.joinChannel() (reuses the single session alongside
@discordjs/voice) + joinStreamConnection(userId) -> STREAM_WATCH (op 20).
- receiver.createVideoStream(userId, path) -> PacketHandler -> Recorder
(ffmpeg over UDP loopback) -> Matroska .mkv, decryption handled internally.
Wired in recorder.ts (trackChannel/untrackChannel) + bootstrap.ts
(setVideoRecorderClient/setVideoRecordingsDir). All best-effort; failures log
and never break existing voice/audio. Unit tests 6/6 (single listener, watch
handshake + mkv path, skip own video, idempotence, teardown). Full suite
20 files / 176 tests green; typecheck + build + biome clean.
UNVERIFIED live yet: needs deploy + a streamer to confirm Recorder ready +
playable .mkv.
