GOOGLE_MUSIC_PLAYER and API KEY env variable? #1

Open loop opened 7 years ago

loop commented 7 years ago

What does this env variable refer to? The URL to Google Music?

Also for the API keys, as far as I am aware Google doesn't provide the API key, what API key does this need?

Hello,

This isn't meant to be used directly with Google Music, its allows Alexa to control an instance of https://github.com/microadam/google-music-player

The GOOGLE_MUSIC_PLAYER and API_KEY env vars are used to connect to that application (which then connects to google music itself). I have hacked this together fairly quickly, so I haven't added much in the way of documentation. If you are wanting to set it up, let me know if you run into any issues and I will see if I can help

I'm also a little confused - do you mean that you should front the lambda function with api gateway and use that URL in GOOGLE_MUSIC_PLAYER env variable?

The way this works is that you run an instance of https://github.com/microadam/google-music-player on your home server (or wherever you like really) and expose it to the internet on some sort of domain (e.g http://www.myserver.com:7878) and then you setup this AWS LAMBDA function and put the environment variable of GOOGLE_MUSIC_PLAYER to be your domain (e.g http://www.myserver.com:7878).
