Welcome back Meep! FWIW I've spoken in person to two (Amazon) Alexa dev advocates (or similar) here in London and the response has not been encouraging. The first told me to call him some time to chat about the issue (I didn't bother) and the second a month ago explained that basically Alexa teams and builds are entirely independent across countries, so the fact that it's been in the US beta for this long but nowhere else is not promising. He also said, don't worry too much about what built-in intents and in particular their slots can and can't hold and that home-made slot types with lots of data are not far off. This implied (to me at least) that they results from the Music*Intent slots haven't been as stellar as perhaps I'd imagined they were, but then I haven't bothered trying to build a US skill to find out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nickb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106569 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
