# Discord Voice Recorder
A [Discord.js](https://discord.js.org/#/) script which can record voice calls. Summon the bot to a voice channel, and voilà! the audio is piped right into your local machine. Jump to [Installation & Usage](https://github.com/chebro/discord-voice-recorder#installation-and-usage) to get started.

_**Note:** Recording voice calls without prior consent violates privacy. Do not use this bot without approval. I'm not responsible for your insanity._
_Also, multi user recording is currently out of discord.js's scope, currently a unique stream is created for every user, but the end result is a very bad audio output, [more info](https://discordjs.guide/voice/receiving-audio.html#what-if-i-want-to-listen-to-multiple-users)._
## Installation and Usage
Clone the repository :
```
git clone https://github.com/chebro/discord-voice-recorder/
```
[Create a discord bot](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/discord.html) if you don't have one already and invite the bot to your server, then:
1. Create `config.json` file and a `/recordings` directory at the root folder.
2. Paste the bot token (from [developer window](https://discord.com/developers/applications)) and any bot prefix into `config.json`, like so:
```yaml
{
"BOT_TOKEN": "",
"PREFIX": ""
}
```
You can run the script in any of the following two ways:
### Run Locally
1. Run `npm i` to download necessary `node_modules`.
2. Run `npm start`.
The bot should be online.
### Run in Container
1. Build the docker image:
```
docker build -t dvr .
```
2. Bind `/recordings` directory on host to container and start the container with a custom name:
```
docker run \
--name \
--mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/recordings,target=/usr/src/bot/recordings \
dvr
```
The bot should be online.
### Bot Commands
+ Start Recording : `enter `
+ Stop Recording : `exit`
## Managing the Output
The output for each piece of audio stream is written to a unique file in [PCM format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation) (48000 Hz, signed 16-bit little-endian, 2 channel (stereo)) and saved to the `/recordings` directory.
### Merge Recording
To merge all output files to `/recordings/merge.pcm`, run:
```
node /bin/merge.js
```
**Note:** Empty your `recordings` folder (and remove `merge.pcm`) after each session. Running `./bin/merge.js` otherwise will dump large merge files.
### Convert the Merged File to MP3
Head over to [FFmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html), and download executables for your OS; If you're on Windows, double-check if the FFmpeg bin is on your path. As discussed in issue [#3](https://github.com/chebro/discord-voice-recorder/issues/3), to convert pcm to mp3, run:
```
ffmpeg -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 -i merge.pcm out.mp3
```
