Difficulties with deploying Discord music bot to Heroku

Question

I was trying to make a Discord music bot and deploy it to Heroku, I tried to use the play command

async def play(ctx, url):
    channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel
    voice = get(bot.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild)
    if voice and voice.is_connected():
        await voice.move_to(channel)
    else:
        voice = await channel.connect()
    YDL_OPTIONS = {'format': 'bestaudio', 'noplaylist': 'True'}
    FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {
        'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5', 'options': '-vn'}

    if not get(bot.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild).is_playing():
        with YoutubeDL(YDL_OPTIONS) as ydl:
            info = ydl.extract_info(url, download=False)
        URL = info['url']
        get(bot.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild).play(FFmpegPCMAudio(URL, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS))
        get(bot.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild).is_playing()
        await ctx.send('Bot is playing')

but got the error message from Heroku:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: DownloadError: ERROR: No video formats found; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug

I have tried to reinstall youtube-dl but it didn't work.

If you can help me, that would be great! Thanks.

This error is coming for that you are using YTDL, and ytdl is now old and the api of ytdl is so old so if you want to make a good music bot for production then use Lavalink
