Hi,

Hope this is the right place to request this, but I was wondering if it would be possible to display song information on Amazon devices with a screen (Echo Show)? At the moment, my screen just displays the Skill Name, followed by the task (e.g. Playing random music).
It would be awesome if we could get the current song title and maybe the album.

Anyway, let me know you thoughts.

Thank you

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm tearing my hair out trying to get playlists to work.

I have these playlists defined in navidrome:

Here's what I defined on the skill (along with the default ones)

Going down the line from the web devlopment interface:

"ask navi sonic play the playlist megadeth"
Same error as above.

"ask navi sonic play the playlist a. c. d. c."
(I typed AC/DC, it was converted to the above)

Looked for an album instead of playlist?

"ask navi sonic play the playlist progressive metal"
This seems to really break things. No JSON response on the server.

The last 3 playlists are stock install and do not exist but still give weird responses.

it would be nice if you also provide a docker-compose :)

When I try to start Docker container I get this error:

exec /opt/env/bin/python3: exec format error

I'm using Debian 11 OS in a Raspberry pi 4.

I've been able to set this up and test it with my phone and also with the dev console.
However, when I ask an Alexa device, it tells me that "playing music by provider navi sonic is not supported".
No contact is made with the instance.

I've double checked the settings, and they seem to be correct.

When i try to tun it i get this error:
Unable to find image 'amzn1.ask.skill.03246e80-cf79-428d-a552-cc47aa8a81f8:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for amzn1.ask.skill.03246e80-cf79-428d-a552-cc47aa8a81f8, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied.

What am i doing wrong?

When you play songs and there are multiple songs in queue it would be good if the next and previous button can work from the music player which is launched from alexa on phone.

Pause/Play works fine but next and previous doesn't work as this skill is most helpful while driving it would be good if these buttons can work so that changing the song can be done from steering media controls.

Improve PlaybackFailedHandler by adding the following functionality:

I hate to ask this but I am stumped.
While I will take a magic bullet, I am really asking where in the logs I find answers.

I am in the Alexa Developer Testing console.
I type "Open Navisonic player" and get "The requested skill did not provide a valid response "

I am using Nginx Proxy Manager and a Lets Encrypt SSL cert.
the URLs are:
music.mydomain.com -> pointing to Navidrome proper
asknavidrome.mydomain.com-> pointing to the Navidrome skill

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

That doesn't give me any information about the error at all.

In SkillDebugger.CaputureError all I get is

...
        "code": "SKILL_ENDPOINT_ERROR",
        "description": "Skill execution returned an exception for requestId amzn1.echo-api.request.<redacted>",
...

And then a final SkillDebugger.CaputureDebugingInfo (~1 sec later) says

...
                    "request": {
                        "type": "SessionEndedRequest",
                        "requestId": "amzn1.echo-api.request.d26881dd-1ed7-41f7-9c4b-03872b6c3e81",
                        "timestamp": "2023-09-02T17:59:34Z",
                        "locale": "en-US",
                        "reason": "ERROR",
                        "error": {
                            "type": "INVALID_RESPONSE",
                            "message": "An exception occurred while dispatching the request to the skill."
                        }

I can only guess that either (a) the request dies internally before making it out of the Amazon server and to my server, or (b) the request makes it to the the reverse proxy and goes no further, but normally it would return a 502 (Bad Gateway).

Neither of which I know how to solve, but I am just guessing. I don't see how to get concrete information out of those logs.

Where do I get more information to debug this?

Thanks

I have navidrome, asknavidrome, nginx, all running in docker containers. I have certs for everything terminating at the nginx side. I've created the skill, added it and tested it. And when I test, I seek this in asknavi logs (level 3):

I built the docker container myself, which appears to have a newer version of python than the one hosted, this the warnings.
However, both the one I built and the one here: ghcr.io/rosskouk/asknavidrome:latest give the same error.

If a queue is having 50 songs and you want to re-shuffle them I think it will be good to have a shuffle queue option.
Apart from that an option to dump all the queued items and create new queue on same previous rules with new items.

First of all, thank you for the awesome program. The manual is very easy to follow and I got it setup correctly on the first try. It's working like a charm!

As currently Alexa always utters a confirmation hard-coded in English I'd like to see some way to have localization built into the app such that e.g. via environment variable a different locale can be selected. I have no experience in doing such a thing but maybe I can help if you have a recommendation on how to implement it in a good way. Beware, my Python is sub-par ;-)

Also another useful config option could be to disable spoken confirmations altogether.

It would be great to have a feature to play a specific song from an album as multiple versions of same song can be in different albums.
I can see that song by artist is present and album by artist.
An intent for song from album would be good alternative if not able to find the song by artist.

Currently debugging is enabled if the NAVI_DEBUG environment variable is set. This should be changed to check if the variable is set to 1 or 0 and the documentation updated appropriately.

In additional enable full request and response debugging when enanled

i set the skill as your instruction, but always get the failure "The requested skill did not provide a valid response"
i searched online for help, but get no result. can you help me on the failure?

Describe the issue
Requesting a song title that contains an ampersand in the speech output causes SSML Error.

Operating System
Ubuntu x64

To Reproduce
Ask for the song title of a song that contains an ampersand (&) in either the song title, artist and/or album. This will an SSML error (Error: Unexpected character ' ' (code 32)) in the logs

Comments
I understand this is an SSML limitation, but I wonder if there would be any way to parse the speech output and replace any ampersand (&) with the word 'and'?

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow playing of music with a single command (e.g., "Alexa, ask asknavidrome to play my favorites") instead of the two-step command currently available (e.g. 1) "Alexa, ask asknavidrome" [ready] 2) "play my favorites").

Additional context
I'm mostly just wondering if this is a limitation on dev apps because the single-line requests work with apps like Plex. I don't have a lot of experience with Alexa skills, but can figure out the invocations if this is something that's possible.

Would like to request the ability to play internet radio stations saved in Navidrome.

Maybe we can use the phrase - Ask NaviDrome to play station - RandomRadio

Thanks!

The skill appears to work but no music is played. Errors similar to below appear in the web service log.

Solution that worked for me.
I enabled transcoding in navidrome to mp3 and opus.
It was some songs which were not playing in direct stream so far haven't received the error in long time.

Describe the issue
I cannot enable debug mode by setting NAVI_DEBUG=1

Operating System

Comments
I tried with an external env file as well as setting the env value inline to no avail.

Describe the issue
I followed the steps but when testing, it cannot connect to my skill. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot determine what can be. I think documentation can me confusing, at least I found it confusing.
In requirements, is stated:

• Your Music Collection
• A SubSonic API Compatible Media Server
• Tags
• An Amazon Echo Device

But in the Troubleshooting section, it states

Is the endpoint set correctly? The endpoint is the URL to the web service.

Nowhere specifies how to configure the web service. I modified the docker-compose.yml to match my alexa skill ID, navidrome URL, user and password, like this

 version: '3.7'
 services:
     asknavidrome:
         environment:
             - 'NAVI_SKILL_ID=amzn1.ask.skill.xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
             - 'NAVI_URL=https://music.example.com'
             - 'NAVI_USER=alexaplayer'
             - 'NAVI_PASS=supersecretpassword'
             - 'NAVI_SONG_COUNT=50'
             - 'NAVI_PORT=443'
             - 'NAVI_API_PATH=/rest'
             - 'NAVI_API_VER=1.16.1'
             - 'NAVI_DEBUG=1'
         ports:
             - '5555:5000'    <-- I've used the port 5555 because I already using port 5000 for other stuff

         logging:

                 window: 120s

And I set up it as https://naviendpoint.example.com, and I see it's reachable from internet, showing this in a browser

Describe the issue
Followed the documentation, but using the Alexa test I'm getting 400 Bad Request in the logs and Alexa says "There was a problem with the requested skill's response".
I think it might be down to my reverse proxy.
I'm using Swag (Nginx) and Docker.
Certs have been generated.
I added a .conf for the app but it might be incorrect. Is there a suggested .conf?
The site returns 502 Bad Gateway when accessed in the browser.

I'd really appreciate any help to get this setup, thanks!

Describe the issue
Attempting to play playlist with a large number of songs (>110 from my test) causes alexa to respond with "The requested skill did not provide a valid response.". Decreasing the amount of songs to less than 110 tracks seems to resolve the issue.

Operating System
Ubuntu x64

To Reproduce

Comments
I've attempted to play around with a small (50) and large (200) NAVI_SONG_COUNT variable but this did not change the behavior. I would honestly be happy if only a limited number of random songs were queue'd from the playlist and not the full playlist if this is a limitation from amazon, but being limited to a small playlist is a major inconvenience.

I get the following errors:

I have checked my account can log into my navidrome instance and can play the files.

What further information would be useful? I'm sorry I have no idea why my compose isn't showing with the correct formatting.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Plays through the asknavidrome skill do not update 'Last Played' date or 'Plays' count in Navidrome.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like plays through asknavidrome skill to update the 'Last Played' date and 'Plays' count in Navidrome.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
I believe there is a setting in the Subsonic API to allow for this because Substreamer (iOS app) is able to update playcounts when playing through the app. I'm only just beginning to learn the Subsonic API, but I would guess the relevant call to implement is here: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp#scrobble .

https://rosskouk.github.io/asknavidrome/
Current Documentation mentioned a limitation which is:

You need to open the skill to use it, say Alexa, open Navisonic.

1. Alexa, open Navisonic
2. What is playing?

The Workaround which is working is to directly ask alexa to ask the app with the command.

Alexa Ask Navisonic What is Playing?

Similarly
Ask navisonic to star this song.
Ask navisonic to unstar this song.
Ask navisonic to play rock music
Ask navisonic to play playlist "Playlist Name"

Describe the issue
When following guide, when trying to build the skill, interaction model fails on Amazon website.

Have deleted and re created skill, when testing said skill it says unable to connect.

Describe the issue
Asknavidrome recieves but is unable to process requests from the alexa skill.
When using the "OPEN InvocationName" command the developer console or device responds with ready but the log shows this error:
2023-06-03 23:25:29,994 - asknavidrome.subsonic_api - ERROR - Failed to connect to Navidrome
When using the "ASK InvocationName to DoAnything" command the console/device can't proceed and the log has this error:
2023-06-03 23:26:47,948 - root - ERROR - General Exception: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Operating System
Docker Compose (under Portainer on Ubuntu).

To Reproduce
Ask the device or dev console to "OPEN InvocationName"
Then ask the device or dev console to "ASK InvocationName to play music by ArtistName" or "ASK InvocationName to play music"

Comments
Navidrome instance is externally accessible by android apps and web browsers using the same credentials in the docker compose file)
Asknavidrome service is externally accessible (although shows a 405 method not allowed page when viewed by a browser)
I use cloudflare tunnels to access the containers.

Describe the issue
After doing a lot of testing, it seems that the skill will only play static playlists, and not smart playlists (those imported with .nsp files as documented here and here).

Operating System
Docker on Debian.

To Reproduce
"Ask AskNavidrome" [ready] "Play dumbplaylist" [music starts]
"Ask AskNavidrome" [ready] "Play nonexistentplaylist" [I couldn't find a playlist nonexistentplaylist in the collection] (as expected)
"Ask AskNavidrome" [ready] "Play smartplaylist" [blue light circles on Alexa for a bit, then silence].

Logs
The only log I'm getting shows no errors:

Comments
I suspect that there's something slightly different in the way Navidrome identifies smart playlists that does not allow them to be called without a tweak to the skill.

i know there is option to star the song. But an option to add songs to different playlist would be good.
As you already have provided support to for playlists so it would be a good feature to add songs to playlist.
For example slow songs to a different playlist rock to different and so on.
