have problem selecting channel

Open ngarafol opened this issue 5 years ago • 8 comments

Followed tutorial, changed invocation to two words because it wants two minimum. Added few channels (raw https gist links) and I can test by typing "open radio radio" (radio radio being invocation :) ) but cant manage to select any channels. What is the correct phrase to select channel? Tried the ones in json :

samples": [ "{station}", "for {station}", "play {station} music", "play some {station}", "play {station}", "{station} music"

if your channel name is Blues, you'd say Alexa, ask radio radio for Blues.

It does not work. I can share my stations privately?

Hello, any solution to this problem? I'm also trying to call another station and it doesn't work.

If you're publishing the skill, then two words are required as invocation, but otherwise you can use just one word. I have also updated the code base recently. So the best thing to do would be to redeploy. This is the way to do it.

  1. Go to https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio/ and deploy the code to Standard Library using the deploy button.
  2. Once it's deployed, copy the Standard Library URL and update the URL on the Alexa Developer Console URL endpoint.

Test it again. Saved channels and stations will NOT get deleted when you do a fresh deploy.

Okay, I did the tutorial again, but what is the command to call the next radio? Only the first radio works.

"Alexa, next" while a track is playing will work.
