Support for NEWS and MUSIC Playback management

[rajesh1006]

Hi There,

I would like to confirm whether this reference implementation would be able to support NEWS and MUSIC Playback.
I'm listening the voice response for NEWS and MUSIC Playback are found not to be supported at this point of time.

Based on the SDK Documentation,
I read that, Timers and Alarms are not supported.

Please clarify me regarding this.

Thanks,

[Fleker]

Right now the Assistant Service API does not support handling these media responses.

Hello Fleker,
Thanks for your updates.
I would like to confirm that NEWS and MUSIC Playback functionality is supported with Python based Assistant SDK.

[Fleker]

Neither news nor music playback are supported in the SDK right now.

Thanks for the response Fleker.
Is there any possibility that NEWS and MUSIC Playback might be supported with this version of assistant-sdk-cpp or assistant-sdk-python.
It will be good, even if I can get the steps/procedure to enable the same in the current assistant-sdk-cpp/assistant-sdk-python.
I'm trying to build an equivalent product of Google Home.
Thanks in advance.

Right now media playback is not supported for third-party developers in any of our SDK offerings. It's definitely something I'd like to get added, but I don't have a specific timeline on it.

Thanks for the updates Fleker.
Can u please suggest me an option/procedure to build a full featured Google assistant supported product with NEWS and MUSIC Playback without utilization of current open source SDK's, according to your knowledge. It will be good even if can get contact of someone who could guide me with this.
I'm very much looking forward to understand and build a Google supported product. I hope you could help me in this.
Thanks in advance.

There's not a simple procedure as it stands. You can fill out the interest form but we're preferring developers use the public SDKs. Some features like media playback are not ready yet, but you can build the rest of the product.

Fleker, thanks for your patience and time.
Now I can decide with which I can start.
