Resuming a song

[timmyg]

First off - LOVE this framework and what you're doing with it - hoping I can contribute.

I am playing a song with

// play
app
  .alexaSkill()
  .audioPlayer()
  .setOffsetInMilliseconds(0)
  .play(url, alexaToken)
  .tell(speech);

which works great, but my app got declined because I need to handle the Pause and Resume amazon intents. Below is how I am pausing:

// pause
app
  .alexaSkill()
  .audioPlayer()
  .stop();
app.tell("paused");

Is there a current way to resume? Am looking through audioPlayer.js and not seeing anything.

Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words!

Here's how I'm doing it:

• In the AMAZON.PauseIntent, I save the offset of the current song to the database, e.g. like so: app.user().data.offset = audioPlayer.getOffsetInMilliseconds();
• In the AMAZON.ResumeIntent, I use setOffsetInMilliseconds(app.user().data.offset) before calling play

Does this help?

Actually - may have figured it out - would I just use the setOffsetInMilliseconds and play it again?

Yes!
