When you play something on your echodot, nothing been displayed?

@Sean
If I comment out

//allwoeDevices: ["myechodot" ]

it shows the album cover/etx/progress etc. when I play something on my echo dot. With

 allowDevices: ["myechodot"],

the spotify logo appears when something is played on the echodot, but no cover/text/progress etc. is shown.

However, the

    SPOTIFY_PLAY: {
      pattern : "music please",
      command: "SPOTIFY_PLAY"
    },

Doesn’t work. It recognizes the command, but nothing happens. Playback from the mirror (raspotify) doesn’t happen. If I switch the source from my desktop/phone spotify app to Raspotify, then everything is fine (e.g. I renamed the player from Raspotify to MagicMirror if that matters).

There are no errors in the logs as far as I can see.

Any thoughts?

@Ivanov_d
Only that command doesn’t work? Other’s OK?
Raspotify should be already running when you use this module. (This module cannot boot up Raspotify itself)

Ivanov_d

@Sean yes, the other commands work. I can skip the song, increase/decrease the volume and etc. Also Raspotify is running, because I can start the playback on the mirror from my Desktop/Smartphone app.

Ivanov_d

@Sean, I did some more testing and I can confirm that this is the only command that doesn’t work. Maybe I am not understanding it correctly.

My expected results would be:

Raspotify is running in the background (but no music is playing)
When I say “music please” spotify will start a random song and play it on the MagicMirror

The result however is:

Raspotify is running in the background and no music is playing
When I say “music please” I see no errors in the logs, however, no music is starting as well
To workaround this I start the music from my smartphone or desktop app and switch the player to MagicMirror, after that I can control the player via AssistankMK2

@Ivanov_d
There could be 2(or 3)kinds of possibility about your issue;

AssistantMk2 cannot catch your word “music please”
AssistantMk2 could catch “music please” but cannot emit “SPOTIFY_PLAY” notification
Spotify cannot receive (or understand) SPOTIFY_PLAY notification. (hmmm… I can’t agree about this)

Well, I’ll test from last third issue. Wait for a while.

A Former User

@Ivanov_d
I just tested 3rd case, and there is no problem to work. I think your music please phrase is not hooked, because music is reserved word for default Music feature of Assistant itself(for Youtube Music or Spotify on Google Home itself, but not yet supported by SDK for devices - only allowed for Google Home or some genuine devices). Some keywords or phrases are reserved for Google itself. Unless you override the keywords by Custom Action for Assistant (And even though, cannot guarantee it will work), your music keyword couldn’t work.
Can you try other phrase? like “stay tune.” or any phrase you like.

Ivanov_d

@Sean I will try that and report back. Thanks for the suggestion.
