**Summary** Well, YouTube is so strict sometimes, so it blocks buffer from actually being sent to the ffmpeg process in time, and we can't control that, however, a 15 seconds timeout was set, youtube usually takes more than 5 seconds to send buffers in time. **Why aiohttp?** I had to get rid of curl because handling it is harder, aiohttp is way easier and more reliable for requests like YouTube and MyInstants. - Solves srcdslab#119 - Now local files don't need a curl process to be made, it can be done inside ffmpeg itself - Set the duration of the youtube video before playing it instead of calculating it during the stream.

this PR focuses on changing the logic used in FFmpegAudioPlayer.
Previously, it was using a curl process to retrieves the bytes of a desired url, no matter whether it was local or from the internet.
however, this PR will not require any process other than ffmpeg itself to play local sounds, and a
aiohttpfor extern sounds.Another change:
Recently, myinstants website added a cloudflare bot protection, so genuinely, before this PR, the torchlight bot could not resolve the bot protection, so it ended up not playing any sound from myinstants.
A fix was introduced to use FlareSolverr from https://github.com/Flaresolverr/Flaresolverr .
Added the required
HostandPortin config for *FlareSolverr`.Changelog:
--no-depsflag on PIP dependencies on production and dev environments. pip will not install any dependency required from the desired one to install.aiohttp-socksandcurl-cffidependencies.FlareSolverr.pymodule to handle everything related to FlareSolverr.Note:
This is a huge PR, i tried my best to test. however there could be errors!
This PR also combines #120
