I did reboot yes and I see some entries but nothing error related?

43

I don’t necessarily see anything wrong in there either. It looks like at least some of the devices are being discovered.

Are the media players that are greyed out listed as being in the “adding” list in the last line of the log? from your picture above it’s impossible to tell if the one’s greyed out are in that list or not.

44

More is being logged about disabling polling, maybe related

Should they be always off as a media player? Doesn’t look right
image

45

No they should be listed as being in “standby” if not being used.

What about the answer to my last question above?

46

Yes, they are two echo dots, one fire tablet, one alexa apps type, all greyed out. Funny enough I have logged in to my Alexa app on my phone and they showed up as offline so I have re-logged in and they do show up ok in the Alexa app. Maybe a re-login on the custom component will do something?

47

Maybe but it looks like the log says they are added.

Have you checked the entity_id’s of you media players to make sure they haven’t changed?

If they did then that might explain why they are “unavailable” even though the log shows that entities have been added.

48

Ok so I have reinstalled the integration, set the location to amazon.co.uk and now they are all blue (on standby as expected) but no luck on anything actually working, so frustrating as it all looks good.

49

At least it’s a step in the right direction…

try the tts from the services page again.

this time make sure you put only one echo device in the data field.

So something like this:

{
“message”:“testing”,
“data”:{“type”:“announce”, “method”:“all”},
“target”:“media_player.your_echo_device”
}

50

Ok here is what I get when I send text for TTs (from the media player card above)

2019-08-18 17:41:36 DEBUG (SyncWorker_17) [alexapy.alexaapi] Running sequence: Alexa.Speak data: {"behaviorId": "PREVIEW", "sequenceJson": "{\"@type\": \"com.amazon.alexa.behaviors.model.Sequence\", \"startNode\": {\"@type\": \"com.amazon.alexa.behaviors.model.OpaquePayloadOperationNode\", \"type\": \"Alexa.Speak\", \"operationPayload\": {\"deviceType\": \"A3S5BH2HU6VAYF\", \"deviceSerialNumber\": \"G090LFXXXXXXXXX\", \"locale\": \"en-gb\", \"customerId\": null, \"textToSpeak\": \"Sorry, text to speech can only be called  with the media player alexa tts service\"}}}", "status": "ENABLED"}

And this is what I got after testing against the notify.alexa_media service with your JSON above:

And the service call

51

Did either of them result in any announcement?

52

Neither did. Maybe it’s my region? I’m in Ireland, and using the amazon.co.uk location since there is no Irish one

53

maybe but you would think it would give an error or something in the debug logs if that was the case.

maybe it’s time to get @alandtse involved in this one.

I’m out of ideas.

54

@sd_dracula please enable debugging on alexapy too and dm me the results of trying to do a TTS and of changing the volume using a hardware button. Just add another line with alexapy: debug with the same indentation as the Alexa media component.

One issue to note is some devices are reporting as en-us and some are en-gb. You should see if there’s a setting for those devices to out them on the right locals.

55

@alandtse Ok added the alexapy: debug and rebooted. See below for logs when I changed volume.
The en-us/en-gb was happening earlier when I had amazon.com as the URL (and all devices were greyed out) and then changed it to amazon.co.uk and they became available and also all on en-gb now.

Please also show logs doing the notify. You should be seeing media updates if you start playing Amazon music since you are getting volume updates. Please confirm.

Please confirm whether the media player is working or not. The logs say it’s updating.
Next step is to see if the generated payload from an app routine matches what we’re sending alexapy. Can you please create a routine that does TTS or announce and confirm it work in the app. If it does, then we’ll need it’s json data. Please see this page for instructions.

Hi @alandtse I was able to get the notifiy.alexa_media to also work as per https://github.com/keatontaylor/alexa_media_player/issues/292 (maybe this will help others also)
Thanks again for your help

what exactly did you change in your config to get it working?

Not a whole lot, I did exclude a bunch of things and only left the echo dots in there though, maybe that was it

alexa_media:
  accounts:
    - email: !secret amazon_user
      password: !secret amazon_password
      url: amazon.co.uk
      debug: False
      exclude_devices:
      - "Your Alexa Apps"
      - "This Device"
      - "Home Cinema"
      - "Fire TV"
