I'm developing a skill to play my own music.
I have troubles with AudioPlayer with the developer console test environment ( https://developer.amazon.com/alexa/console/ask/test/ ). Two questions:
1. AudioPlayer Built-in Intents doesn't run as expected (test simulator bug?)
Alexa, play mymusicsSkill
playing Wanderer track 1: Antelao Adrift
Alexa, next
What would you like to play next?
Ask mymusicSkill next
intent: next
See also screenshot:
BTW, my code:
'AMAZON.NextIntent': function () {
this.response.speak('intent: next')
this.emit(':responseReady')
},
So the expected behaviour, also following this documentation: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/audioplayer-interface-reference.html
is that Alexa, next would fire the AMAZON.NextIntent of my skill, but it doesn't. That's a bug, in my opinion.
2. AudioPlayer not (yet) supported on test simulator?
I know that audio streaming is not supported on the console test simulator (See also my previous question: https://forums.developer.amazon.com/questions/143902/when-test-simulator-will-support-audioplayer-direc.html ). Because I can't own a physical Echo (I'm from Italy and Amazon deny to sell my an echo to an italian address ), there is any way to test my skill using audio streams?
NOTE/SUGGESTION to improve the web test simulator:
even if there are problems to stream audio to the web test simulator, a workaround could be to visualize a message info, showing on the GUI that streaming is active (the play is active, etc.)...
Any idea?
Thanks giorgio
