ginjaninja 536 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 From reading the wiki and now looking at the debug log...I think albums could be better supported. Eg "Play album Heroes by David Bowie", skill currently searches for itemtype Audio rather than Album. 2024-01-02 15:58:26.066 Debug Server: http/1.1 GET https://XXX.XXX.XXX:8920/emby/Users/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Items?SortBy=Album%2CParentIndexNumber%2CIndexNumber&IncludeItemTypes=Audio&Recursive=true&Artists=David%20bowie&Albums=heroes. UserAgent: node-fetch Emby plays songs where "Heroes" in Album string string and the track has David Bowie in Artist..(which isnt what i asked for) ... to spell it out when someone is giving this command i think they are asking for Albums with "Heroes" in the title and David Bowie in Albumartist where a closer match would appear first eg "Heroes" (Levenshtein distance 2?) would be a better match than "Never meet your heroes" (Levenshtein distance 16? - if such an album existed). IncludeItemsTypes=Album seems to yield the right result according to swagger....in that the album object is returned....?the skill might need an extra function to expand the members of a returned [album] object.?

ginjaninja 536 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 (edited) from alexa command history play album heroes by david bowie on Emby Theatre Hi @Luke, its not on the supported command list on the wiki but there is some support i assume because it sets Field Albums="Heroes" in the query edit on closer inspection theres nothing intrinsincally wrong with item type audio perhaps its more about setting artist type to albumartist when searching for an album. https://X.X.X:8920/emby/Items?ArtistType=Albumartist&Recursive=true&IncludeItemTypes=audio&SortBy=Album&Artists=David%20Bowie&Albums=Heroes Edited January 3 by ginjaninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjaninja 536 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Further testing i think is showing that including more keywords ie Album and Artist makes Emby Album parsing much more reliable. eg "Play Album X by Y" will frequently set the album search term to 'X by Y' but "Play Album X by Artist Y" sets the album and artist search terms much more reliably.
