trouble getting this working - there was a problem with the response #295

Closed processor286 closed 4 years ago

processor286 commented 4 years ago

I'm using the docker build. I have it behind an nginx reverse proxy with SSL.

I believe the skill can reach my docker container, as I see the logs scrolling by.

For example when testing the skill:

"ask gee music play the song hypersonic missles"

Alexa skill gets an empty JSON response, and says "There was a problem with the requested skill's response"

I can see in my docker log:

16:46:37 web.1 | DEBUG in selection [/geemusic/geemusic/intents/selection.py:119]: 16:46:37 web.1 | Fetching song hypersonic missles by None 16:46:37 web.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:46:38 web.1 | 10.255.0.2 - - [05/Dec/2019 16:46:38] "POST /alexa HTTP/1.1" 200 - 16:46:39 web.1 | 10.255.0.2 - - [05/Dec/2019 16:46:39] "POST /alexa HTTP/1.1" 200 -

If I try and request a song that doesn't exist:

"ask gee music play the song iueywjnvkjlb"

Gives a JSON response: { "body": { "version": "1.0", "response": { "outputSpeech": { "type": "PlainText", "text": "Sorry, I couldn't find that song." }, "shouldEndSession": true, "type": "_DEFAULT_RESPONSE" }, "sessionAttributes": {} } }

And my log file says:

16:48:17 web.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:48:17 web.1 | DEBUG in selection [/geemusic/geemusic/intents/selection.py:119]: 16:48:17 web.1 | Fetching song iueywjnvkjlb by None 16:48:17 web.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:48:17 web.1 | 10.255.0.2 - - [05/Dec/2019 16:48:17] "POST /alexa HTTP/1.1" 200 -

So it seems the Alexa skill is talking to my python server okay. But anything that would result in finding an actual song produces a bad response.

What might be the problem please?

I feel I'm very close to this working!

I should add, I'm using a google account that's on a family plan for music, so that I don't have my main account hanging out there with an app password.

Oh and in the Alexa skills tester, the "Medium Hub" display shows the artwork for the thing I ask gee music for. So that bit works.

Half solved it.

It was a misunderstanding on my part.

I had APP_URL set to localhost:// because that's where the python was bound to, with the nginx server being on the public domain.

I see now that the APP_URL is not used to bind the service at all, but to pass to Amazon/Alexa as the URL to contact for music streaming.

Using a URL in the style of

https://mydomain.com

Still doesn't result in a succesful stream. Is there more debugging I can turn on?

Final note. Turned on DEBUG and I now get audio ... ? Was it the debug flag? Or the restart?

Who knows. For now, I'm leaving the debug on,lol.
