getting TypeError: source must an AudioSource not str

[Vivekananda-Mullangi]

hi github, I was writing code for music bot it ran ok until I decided to add a queue to it. now it plays one time then stops saying TypeError: source must an AudioSource not str

code:
`import discord
import youtube_dl
from discord.ext import commands
import urllib
import re
import pafy
from discord import FFmpegPCMAudio, PCMVolumeTransformer

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=["!", "/", ">", "."])

FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {
'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5',
'options': '-vn'
}

song_queue = []

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot is ready")

@client.command()
async def join(ctx):
if not ctx.message.author.voice:
await ctx.send(":x:You have to be in a voice channel to use this command")
return
else:
channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel
await channel.connect()
await ctx.send("Connected to the channel. it is time to rock🤘")

@client.command()
async def leave(ctx):
voice_client = ctx.message.guild.voice_client
try:
await voice_client.disconnect()
await ctx.send("Party over disconnecting from voice channel")
except:
await ctx.send(":x:I am not connected to a voice channel. Type !join to get me into one.")

@client.command()
async def play(ctx, *args):
if ctx.message.author.voice == None:
await ctx.send(":x:You have to be in a voice channel to use this command")
return

channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel

voice = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.voice_channels, name=channel.name)

voice_client = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild)

if voice_client == None:
    voice_client = await voice.connect()
else:
    await voice_client.move_to(channel)

search = '+'.join(args)

html = urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=" + search)
video_ids = re.findall(r"watch\?v=(\S{11})", html.read().decode())

await ctx.send("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + video_ids[0])

song = pafy.new(video_ids[0])

audio = song.getbestaudio()

source = FFmpegPCMAudio(audio.url, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS)

song_queue.append(source)

voice_client.play(source, after= lambda e: next(ctx))

def next(ctx):
voice_client = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild)
song_queue.pop(0)
source = str(song_queue[0])
voice_client.play(source, after= lambda e: next(ctx))
voice_client.is_playing()

if channel and not voice.is_playing():
    voice.play(song_queue[0], after=lambda e: repeat(ctx.guild, voice, audio))
    voice.is_playing()

@client.command()
async def queue(ctx, *args):
search = '+'.join(args)

html = urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=" + search)
video_ids = re.findall(r"watch\?v=(\S{11})", html.read().decode())

await ctx.send("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + video_ids[0])

song = pafy.new(video_ids[0])

audio = song.getbestaudio()

source = FFmpegPCMAudio(audio.url, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS)

song_queue.append(source)

client.run(TOKEN)
`

runs till play() then tries to use next then stops

what is the problem with this code

[jelni]

Please provide a full traceback including the line number where the error occurred. Also, please use code blocks, so the code is easier to read:
```py
<paste your code>
```
You should consider using aiohttp instead of urllib for loading the website asynchronously without blocking.

[Vivekananda-Mullangi]

will change the code in near future to use aiohttp but now I only know how to use urllib

You've changed the code, so now it tries to .append() the video ID to the command queue (you have to name the variable something different). Then it will try to play the video ID (a string), which doesn't make sense (you have to download the audio first)

[Vivekananda-Mullangi]

no you can use FFmpegPCMAudio(audio.url, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS) command to make it play without any downloading required
and I changed the code because I was trying to fix the issue and dint have the old code with me
