When entering a directory in the DataDir section and rebooting the bot the cmd window will quickly appear and then vanish.

My VPS has a very low amount of storage and I was attempting to point the Data directory to another drive.

Thanks for any possible assistance.

Please post your config with the new DataDir in place.
Make sure you've created that new directory and you use two backslashes like in TS3Path & YoutubeDLPath. Also move the contents of the current DataDir (that is ./data) to the new directory.

TS3Path = "C:\\SinusBot\\TeamSpeak 3 Client\\ts3client_win64.exe"
ListenHost = "0.0.0.0"
DataDir = "Z:\\SinusBot\\data"
ListenPort = 8087
LocalPlayback = false
EnableLocalFS = false
LogLevel = 10
EnableProfiler = false
YoutubeDLPath = "C:\\SinusBot\\youtube-dl.exe"
EnableDebugConsole = false

RunAsUser = 0
RunAsGroup = 0
InstanceActionLimit = 6
UseSSL = false
SSLKeyFile = ""
SSLCertFile = ""
Hostname = ""
MTU = 1500

My current Data folder has been "copied" to the new directory but still exists in the old one. Is that an issue?

 

[flyth]

Nope, that's not an issue. What could be an issue, is the missing \\ at the end of the path.

 

[Altar]

You are the best! Will donate ASAP. Thanks so much!

 

[Altar]

Nevermind... Still having an issue. Looks like the bot is starting with that new addition but uploading songs and using the !ytdl command are still writing files to the old data folder...

 

[flyth]

You're right, that's a bug :/ Will be fixed in the next release - although I don't know yet when exactly that will happen for windows.

 

[Altar]

Stuck with a 25GB Hard disk then :/ Do you think theres possibly a workaround I could attempt?

 

[flyth]

You could move the whole bot folder and leave that datadir config empty again. Should work just fine.

 

[Altar]

It doesn't simply because I'm using a mapped network drive & it won't boot teamspeak up from it for some reason

I'll keep messing around and see if I can figure something out

 

[flyth]

You have to run the bot with the same user account that mapped that network drive - so not as admin if you're trying to do that.
You could also try to leave the client on your C:\ drive and move the rest of the bot if _only_ the client barfs around.

 

[penalte]

you should put teamspeak in "C:\\TeamSpeak 3 Client\\ts3client_win64.exe" and then copy sinusbot folder to the z: drive then edit this:

TS3Path = "C:\\TeamSpeak 3 Client\\ts3client_win64.exe"
DataDir = ""

Should work...

 

[Altar]

When attempting to run teamspeak from a directory on my C drive whilist running the Sinusbot on the Z drive I get this problem - the bot(s) in the teamspeak seem to have no audio device connected

 

[flyth]

You cannot simply use your normal TS3 installation. You need to use the one that the bot installer copied (e.g. C:\SinusBot\TeamSpeak 3 Client\...).
That's because there's an additional plugin that provides that audio device you're talking about.

 

[penalte]

can you show some logs?

 

[penalte]

did you copy the audio plugin?

 

[penalte]

I think you can just put the data folder in z drive then make a shortcut to that folder and put it in C:\SinusBot\

 

[penalte]

The shortcut name must be data, and edit the permissions to that folder, so the administrator acount can write on it

 

[Altar]

Using the actual Sinusbot TS3 Client I was able to get the bot to show as if it has an audio device connected. But now it will not accept chat commands and playing music through the control panel does not output any audio in teamspeak (the voice icon does not even light up)

 

[Altar]

I will try your suggestion with the shortcut now penalte
