Volume "louder / turn volume up / down" #85

Open Flacedoo opened 3 years ago

Flacedoo commented 3 years ago

Hi everyone,

Would it be possible to integrate a volume up / down command, instead of just having to set it to a fixed value? Normally when I'm listening to music I've got no idea to what level it is currently set, and I just want to turn it up or down. I dug around the Spotify api a little, and it seems like the "GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player" can output the current set volume. Therefore it would be just to read it, and then add / subtract e.g. 15 to / from it.

Normally I would just have created a pull request - but I've never developed an Alexa skill nor anything in nodejs.. Therefore if someone here would be willing to put that effort in I would highly appreciate it! For sure I'm happy to help digging around and try to solve issues.

Cheers, Flacedoo

Hey there @Flacedoo,

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to implement this as I've been quite busy recently, but if as you say it looks like a simple GET request, you could probably reuse something like this line with the new endpoint, and just reuse the whole of the VolumeLevelIntent/VolumePercentIntent but using the +/-1 volume instead.

If you or someone would be willing to open a PR, I would be happy to review it :slightly_smiling_face:
