How to make a discord music bot play a youtube link?

I'm trying to make a music bot in Javascript and I'm trying to figure out how to make it play a link. I've tried a lot of things but it doesn't work. Here's my code:


}

  else if(command === prefix + 'play'){
    const song = message.content.first
     const connection = await message.member.voice.channel.join();
    connection.play(ytdl(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-NMn5H4hXU&t=4s, { filter: '' }));
  
  }

Did you forget to put quotation marks around your string like this?

connection.play(ytdl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-NMn5H4hXU&t=4s", { filter: '' }));

If that does not fix your problem, you can try to use ytdl-core with ytdl-core-discord if you are not using them already. That's what I use in my bot.

For discord.js 12.x:

const ytdl = require("ytdl-core-discord");
/* ... connection defined somewhere ... */
connection.play(await ytdl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-NMn5H4hXU&t=4s"), { type: "opus" });

For discord.js 12.x (without await):

const ytdl = require("ytdl-core-discord");
/* ... connection defined somewhere ... */
ytdl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-NMn5H4hXU&t=4s").then((stream) => {
    connection.play(stream, { type: "opus" });
});

For discord.js 11.4.x:

const ytdl = require("ytdl-core-discord");
/* ... connection defined somewhere ... */
connection.playOpusStream(await ytdl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-NMn5H4hXU&t=4s"));
