Session Resuming

Framelink supports session resuming for both Lavalink v3 and v4. This ensures that playback is not interrupted if the bot's WebSocket connection to Lavalink is briefly lost.

Configuration

To enable resuming, you must provide a resumeKey in your node options:

const manager = new LavalinkManager({
    nodes: [
        {
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 2333,
            password: 'youshallnotpass',
            version: 'v4',
            resumeKey: 'my-secret-key',
            resumeTimeout: 60 // Time in seconds to wait for a reconnect
        }
    ],
    // ...
});

How it Works

1. v3: The manager sends a configureResuming op code to Lavalink immediately upon connection.
2. v4: The manager uses the REST API to patch the session configuration once the ready event (which provides the sessionId) is received.

Benefits

• Players will continue playing while the bot is reconnecting.
• Once reconnected, the bot will take over the existing players without audio gaps.
• The nodeConnect event will still fire, but the players will persist.
