Radhey Music Bot

Telegram bot built with Telethon + PyTgCalls, deployable on Render.

Developer: #RADHEY — Channel: @xivasudev

Features

• /play — search & stream a song live in the group's voice chat
• /skip, /pause, /resume, /mute, /unmute, /stop, /queue — VC controls
• /song <name> — download and send a track directly (DM or group)
• Send any Instagram reel/post link (DM or group) — bot downloads and sends it back
• Force-subscribe gate: users must join @sunradhey and @xivasudev before using the bot
• /stats, /broadcast — owner-only tools
• Flask keep-alive endpoint on / for Render's health checks

Why two Telegram logins?

Bots cannot join voice chats — that's a Telegram platform rule, not a limitation of this code. So the bot uses:

1. BOT_TOKEN — handles all your commands.
2. SESSION_STRING — a real account ("assistant") that joins the group and streams audio.

1. Get your credentials

• API_ID / API_HASH — from https://my.telegram.org → API Development Tools
• BOT_TOKEN — create a bot with @BotFather
• OWNER_ID — your numeric Telegram user ID, from @userinfobot
• SESSION_STRING — run locally (never on the server):

  pip install telethon
  python genstring.py
  

  Log in with the account you want to use as the voice-chat assistant, then copy the printed string.

2. Configure environment variables

Copy .env.sample to .env for local testing, or set these directly in Render's dashboard:

API_ID=
API_HASH=
BOT_TOKEN=
SESSION_STRING=
OWNER_ID=
SUDOERS=
FORCE_SUB_CHANNELS=sunradhey xivasudev

FORCE_SUB_CHANNELS is a space-separated list of channel usernames without the @. The bot must be admin in those channels to check membership.

3. Deploy on Render

1. Push this folder to a GitHub repo.
2. On Render: New → Web Service → Docker runtime, connect the repo.
3. Add the environment variables above in the Render dashboard.
4. Deploy. Render will build the included Dockerfile (Python 3.10 + ffmpeg).

4. Add the assistant to a group

Use the ➕ Add Assistant to Group button from /start, or manually add the assistant account to any group where you want /play to work. It only needs to be a normal member.

Local run

pip install -r requirements.txt
python bot.py

Notes

• Instagram downloads depend on yt-dlp's current Instagram support; some private/age-restricted content may fail.
• Downloaded files are deleted from disk immediately after being sent.
