Spent today improving Lavende’s core playback reliability. Fixed several issues with the YouTube source after recent extraction changes, preventing playback failures. Resolved a bug where the player was being recreated on every request, allowing playback state and queues to persist correctly. Tracked down 404 search errors to empty search results (length: 0) and added proper handling for cases where no tracks are returned. Also improved the voice connection lifecycle, making joins, reconnects, and playback significantly more stable.
