Calling Play endpoint multiple times mutes Echo Show #1323

Open martinsinn opened 5 years ago

martinsinn commented 5 years ago

Issue found on June 15th 2019

Endpoint(s):

Scope(s):

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the API Console
  2. Call the /v1/me/player/play and add device_id of the active Echo show device
  3. Music starts playing
  4. Stop the music manually on the device
  5. Call the /v1/me/player/play and add device_id of the active Echo show device again
  6. Music starts playing but on mute

Expected behaviour:

The player should play on the currently set volume level

Actual behaviour:

The music is played but on mute on the Echo Show device. Raising/lowering Volume does not affect this behavior. User has to stop the Spotify player (Alexa, stop) and re-invoke afterwards.

to me only switching to a different playlist worked. There are additional issues when you want to start a specific song of the playlist which is already playing. Therefore I call play twice. The first time with a random public playlist and the second time with the one I want to start.

Wow - definitely sounds like a bug.

Any update on this?

I can reproduce the issue on my Amazon Echo Show 1, Echo Show 5 and Echo Dot (2. Gen).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start a playlist with play() via the API --> Playback of the Song starts on my device.
  2. After 20 Seconds say "Alexa, stop".
  3. Issue the same playback command via API as in Step 1 (same playlist!) --> no playback on the Device, I get a success full response with StatusCode 204 NO CONTENT
