Started only playing one song from the queue.
For about two weeks Alexa has only been playing one song from the queue. If I tell Alexa "Next" it will play the next song and then stop again. I added some logging and it appears to get to:-
@ask.on_playback_finished() def play_back_finished(token):
and select the correct song and then go_next is called but no audio play. This was working so I guess it's something that has changed on Alexa.
Log with flask-ask logging turned on Log2.txt
It looks as though you're having the same issue that I'm having with my fork downstream. From your log it looks as though when it hangs it forces you to skip a track, the same as me.
I'm no closer to a fix than you are, but thanks for confirming that it used to work correctly.
I've tried to go back to basics and tested the flask-ask playlist sample. I manage to play about 3 songs before it does the same thing, even though there is a next track which works when I try the url directly it stops, so I think it's an issue with flask-ask. If I can get my head around node.js and alexa-app audio implementation I might try to see if I that works.
Nice to know I'm not the only one experiencing the issue.
Yeah, I just saw the issue you've raised over at flask-ask. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I can view request values in Apache so I can start trying to debug.
Just to say I have this issue as well, though I manage to play two tracks before having to ask for "next"...
@redspike yeah, it seems inconsistent for me, sometimes 1 track, sometimes 2.
Flask-ask has had a breaking commit since Plexmusic was written, and at least one commit relating to audio, so now that I have Apache outputting some debug I plan to step through the updates and see if I can't fix this issue along the way.
Is it just me or is it working properly again? I've had it playing at least 6 songs in a row now...
Have you updated to Flask-ask 0.9.4? I'm trying mine again tonight and it's working perfectly again. I will say that I upgraded to 0.9.4 and still had that issue 2 weeks ago, it's magically disappeared now...
Your right , upgraded flask and it does appear to be working, 3 songs in so far. lets hope it stays working :)
