Python Discord music bot stops playing a couple of minutes into any song – Ubuntu

I am trying to put together a Python Discord music bot as a fun little project. Outside of the required discord library I’m currently using the YouTube API to search for videos and parse the URL (not shown in code), yt-dlp which is a fork of yt_download that is still maintained to get the info from the YT URL, and FFMPEG to play the song obtained from yt-dlp through the bot. My play command seems to work as the 1st YT video result will start to play, but roughly 30-90 seconds into the audio, it stops playing. I get this message in the console:

2023-02-23 14:54:44 IN discord.player ffmpeg process 4848 successfully terminated with return code of 0.

So there is no error for me to go off of. I’ve included the full output from the console below…

-----------------------------------
groovy-jr#6741 is up and running
-----------------------------------
2023-02-23 14:53:23 INFO     discord.voice_client Connecting to voice...

2023-02-23 14:54:44 INFO     discord.player ffmpeg process 4848 successfully terminated with return code of 0.  <= AUDIO STOPS

I’m currently developing this project on a Windows 11 machine, but I’ve had the issue running it on my Ubuntu machine as well. I am just hosting the bot directly from the VSCode terminal for development.

I’ve been trying to do research on this problem, the problem is I can’t find many recent information for the issue. There was another post that talked about a similar problem and had an answer suggesting the following FFMPEG options be used which I tried to no avail.

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

I’ll include the problem file below:

I appreciate any guidance I can get!
