@ejay-ibm just tried and again GA says he apologizes, but he doesn’t know right now how to help me.

[Cr4z33]

@ejay-ibm perhaps it doesn’t work (yet) when using GA in another language than English?

[ejay-ibm]

@Cr4z33 Well i’m using it in french … so I don’t think so .
I need to think a bit why your payload is incorrect.

[Cr4z33]

@ejay-ibm sure take your time mate as I might probably not resume testing before tomorrow afternoon. ;)

@ejay-ibm I thought your module only works to play/stop/next/previous. I have tried run “Bob Marley Spotify” and nothing happens. With other artist the same.
If I can test something…
Pd: Spanish + Spotify premium

@F17MC @Cr4z33
I don’t think the issue is with the module but with what the assistant return to the module .

the module is expecting something like “”(open.spotify.com - https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Gkz5N7rWiCE3jlCgsw1yp""

So i’m not getting why your assistant doesn’t understand what to search for.

I’ll continue digging

@ejay-ibm OK thanks I might ask also @Sean tomorrow to see if he knows anything we don’t. :D

[ejay-ibm]

@Cr4z33 I’m already working on it with @Sean ;)

quick question : if you just say “micheal jackson smooth criminal”
does it start playing youtube ?
if yes then just try “micheal jackson smooth criminal spotify”
and let me know

If that doesn’t work I’ll ask you some patience so I can implement the spotify search function directly in my module and not from the assistant. We will just use a hook in the assisant .

@ejay-ibm yes, with YouTube it works. But with Spotify no. I try with “artist + song Spotify”, “artist + song on Spotify” etc. Always run the video in YouTube.

[ejay-ibm]

@F17MC That is interesting … that mean the result of the assistant research never bring a spotify url but a youtube one . a openspotify url is what the module expect to work .

So we know now that under some circumpstance the module doesn’t get the right payload from assistant to work.
Thanks for testing and reporting this guys .

I’ll work with sean to implement a search function directly with the spotify APIs call . With that we will make the search directly on spotify ( and not on google ) so we will bypass this issue .

I’m wondering where the difference is between you and I, because it work fine here and as well another German guy Mantha who is the original code creator .

Anyway, there’s no problem … only solution .

I’ll keep you informed once the module is updated .

Ejay .
