Free Google Play Music account only allows playlist functionality.

I'm currently using Heroku to run the app and after setting it up and the Alexa skill everything links ok Alexa sends the commands to Heroku but then returns that it can't find whatever music or album I've asked for. I'm not getting any errors that I can tell with the link between google and Heroku I did the app password and added the Android ID. I'm not exactly the best with coding more a hardware and network person so i'm hoping someone might see what i'm missing and be able to help. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hmmm. It seems as if everything's working on the heroku side. Maybe you don't have the alexa skill setup right in the skills console? Re-read the README and let me know if you have any questions. It appears to be working all the way up to the playback portion.

I just went and rebuilt the Alexa skill following everything to the letter but get the same result. Alexa is able to accept the request and send it to Heroku but then gets a response from Heroku that it can't find the song. On Heroku I have my Android_ID, have the App_URL as the Heroku address minus the slash at the end, have the Debug set to false, and then have the password as an app password as I have two factor. I haven't changed any settings other then those so everything should be setup as the deploy set them. Here's the Heroku readout for the song request both times I asked Alexa just to ask gee music got a response then asked for the song. Thank you for any help.

Do you have a paid account or a free account?

[xstech]

free account on everything

[mikeage]

I'm surprised you didn't see any errors, but in general, free accounts can't play music from the store and geemusic as released doesn't support the library. You can try PR #255 , or, for a simpler test, try playing a playlist (those do seem to work with free accounts)

[xstech]

oh sorry I didn't think about google I have a gsuiet account with play music subscription I can use but it seams to error on the login when I use that account

[xstech]

I think I may have found the problem. When using G-Suites it fails to login even with the app password correct email and android id number.

[everyonce]

Is there a way to fix this? I'm in the same boat.

[fergyfresh]

See my post #269 (comment). This might help you? I'm not 100% sure this is your problem though. I don't use the free account.

[fergyfresh]

Free accounts only work with playlists in the current implementation.

[everyonce]

I can verify that it does work with free accounts, playlists only, and I had to use a short device id.

[mikeage]

Now that #255 is merged, a decent amount of library functionality is supported (play artists, albums, songs)
