Tunein Jingle

[adn77]

Sorry, I have no idea what you're referring to. Is that some sort of advertising by TuneIn?
If you use the textcommand Amazon might select a different provider for the stream - you can see which in the app.

Give the playmusic command a try and see if the result is different.

Hi Alex,

I also tried playmusic and Jingle is played as well. Yes, it is an advertisement of tunein.
Many don't like it ... see link.

Well using playmusic with tunein gives same Jingle.
But with voice command Amazon uses "ARD Audiothek".
So that is the difference.

Now I don't see how to use playmusic with ARD Audiothek.
I tried some options but nothing happened. No error and no music.

Below, I post the -q output. Would be great to learn how to
trigger that with -e playmusic:channel:music.

Thanks for your support,
Horst

Using the -c switch shows all available PlayMusic channels:

alexa_remote_control.sh -c
CLOUDPLAYER - My Library Music provider
AMAZON_MUSIC - Amazon Music Music provider
TUNEIN - TuneIn Music provider
DEFAULT -  Default Music provider

I just tested DEFAULT and "Ard Mediathek" is chosen by Alexa.

Hmm, the way I implemented the command execution doesn't really work for multi-room setups.
The command is executed for each member of the multi-room group... if I find time I'll have a look at how this can be averted.

[Korki67]

perfect, thanks! -e playmusic:DEFAULT:swr3 works fine without jingle.

[adn77]

Beware of using PlayMusic in multi room setups. My script actually iterates over all members and plays more or less at the same time on the members. If you have a group of three devices, you'll end up with the streams - not necessarily in sync...

[Korki67]

Hi there,

-e playmusic:DEFAULT:swr3 now also starts with the TuneIn jingle. Annoying.

For SWR3 radio station, I found this workaround:
-e textcommand:"Spiele SWR3 von ARD"

But this is specific to SWR3. And the script is perfect, the advertisement of TuneIn has nothing to do with it.
I am just posting this in case it may help somebody to avoid the jingle and see how to do this.

Horst
