Title/article mismatch #121

Closed jrochell closed 5 years ago

jrochell commented 5 years ago

Every time I tell Alexa to play a certain article (e.g. by saying “the 2nd one” or “the one about coffee”) it always reads a different, wrong title first. In my case, it says “The first white president” before reading the article I asked it to.

Hi @jrochell , Would you be able to give me an exact set of steps to repro this one? i can't currently reproduce it. Also, if you don't mind... there is an Alexa app (https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html) if you can go to Settings|History it'll give a log of what you actually said (or at least what Alexa thinks you said ;) ).

Also, helpful to know is this just on your account or others are experiencing this as well.

Thanks, -tamara

Sure thing. Steps to reproduce:

  1. Ask Alexa to list my Pocket articles
  2. Ask Alexa to play an article
  3. The title of a different article is read, even though the correct article that I asked to listen to is played afterwards.

My commands are quite simple and straightforward.

This happens with every article I ask Alexa to read.

@jrochell is this still happening? I just pointed my alexa to the same platform you're on and I don't see the same problem. I even tried the same scooter article.

Also, did you clip the audio file? Usually after listing your titles, she asks "what would you like to listen to?" Just want to make sure that did not get skipped.

I'd like to see if I can get a log for this for both scout-alexa and scout-ua. It sounds like it's consistently happening for you. We will need to coordinate with @chris-gilmore

(Sorry, I didn't see this comment above until now.)

I didn't clip the audio file. I did interrupt Alexa though - that's why she didn't get to the "what would you like to listen to" line.

I reproduced the issue on October 2 at 1:44 pm PT. Please let me know if you need me to do it again.

This is fixed by a two part patch in scout-alexa and scout-ua: scout-alexa now sends the item_id to the server #136 scout-ua uses the item_id to select the item in the user's list #201
