Is there a way to play local files with discord-player?

I'm not sure how to play local files by adding "search engine value"

yes absolutely, the procedure is same as usual, you just need to explicitly set searchEngine value to QueryType.FILE. Here is an example:

const { QueryType } = require('discord-player');

// Relative path also works, but absolute path is recommended
// this is a path to your local file which you want to play
const filePath = 'E:/path/to/music.mp3';

await player.play(channel, filePath, {
    // in order to play local files, we need to explicitly tell discord-player to search that path in our file system
    searchEngine: QueryType.FILE // QueryType.FILE tells discord-player to play from our file system,
    // ... (other options if you need)
});

Also, if you are not using player.extractors.loadDefault(), make sure to load AttachmentExtractor else it will not work. Here is how you can load this extractor:

const { AttachmentExtractor } = require('@discord-player/extractor');

player.extractors.register(AttachmentExtractor, {});
