Support of Media Responses

[hyzhak]

I'm working right now on action which uses Media Responses (https://github.com/internetarchive/internet-archive-google-action) and would like to use my AIY Voice kit here. But AIY responses that it doesn't support Media Response.
Is there any plan to support Media Response in this SDK?
https://developers.google.com/actions/assistant/responses#media_responses
Could I expect it in near future?

[Fleker]

Yeah the APIs in the SDK don't support media right now. Thanks for the feedback.

[hyzhak]

You are welcomed! Could I expect it on DIY device soon or give up all hope?

[Fleker]

It's something I'd like to support, although I don't have a specific date for when it'd be ready.

[hyzhak]

Great! Thanks :)

Hi there! What's news? Is there any chance to see this feature soon?

[Fleker]

I do not have an update today.

Hi, I have the same feature request too, thanks

[Fleker]

The library now supports playback of news & podcasts.

@Fleker Cool! Does it mean that we can use Media Response for playing random audio files?

[Fleker]

You'll be able to say something like "Hey Google, play This American Life" and get the podcast.

For playing random audio files, it would be better to use a custom device action so that "Play random audio files" would get received and you would then handle that by playing a random audio file.

@Fleker sure, we are developing custom device action for Internet Archvie but recently I couldn't send Media Response, because Assistant SDK (and AIY Voice in particular) didn't support Media Responses.
In other words:

conv.surface.capabilities.has('actions.capability.MEDIA_OUTPUT') === false

Can I use them after the last update?
