VOICE Summit 2019 | VED Talks | Nara Kasbergen | July 23
summary
NPR builds a Play NPR skill and an MPR1 continuous-play product and finds Alexa’s AudioPlayer streams mp3/AAC and playlists fine, gives playbackFailed events and auto-resumes after TTS, but ends the skill when audio starts, misfires playbackNearlyFinished, and disallows heartbeat pings or queuing except at start. Google Actions lacks native streaming so Google’s Media Actions partner API is required, only accepts mp3, has no failure event or offset seek, and needs an SSML silence hack for seamless autoplay, so MPR1 never ships on Google.
