Can you help?

jimnyo commented 2 years ago

And yes, I'm using the Mac Desktop app, not the web app. It was working last week and now it doesn't seem to be working.

Hey!, sure, can you share the ouput of the script after you execute it?, also, do you see any messages when you start playing a song?

jimnyo commented 2 years ago

this is a copy of the entirety--script included--and no, i don't see any mesages when i start playing a song:

So weird, it's working now...

jimnyo commented 2 years ago

Oh WAIT!! I just remembered, it doesn't work if I use the Spotify app to play on the Alexa, is that correct??

gdi3d commented 2 years ago

As far as I know (I don't own an Alexa), it's not your computer playing the songs, it's Alexa. This means that all the downloading and playing is happing on the Alexa device.

You can test it by using Spotify with your headphones/speakers/bluetooth device and you'll see the script working properly.

And if you see the output that you just paste, it clearly says:

🔈 Songs are playing 😀🕺💃. Audio back to normal

This means that the script has detected a song playing and that it's working properly.

You can close the ticket if the test I mentioned before works ok
