Advanced voice command doesn't work anymore

[hannibalbundy]

Hi,

It has probably nothing to do with GMMP but I'm mentioning it just in case:

Advanced voice command through Google Assistant like "Play [album name]" use to work and doesn't anymore.

"open gone mad" works, "play"/"pause" and so on work too, put "Play [artist name]" and other don't. Google Assistant keeps on sending me to Youtube Music.
"play [album name] on gone mad" from the home screen doesn't work as well but I'm not sure it did.
"play [album name] on spotify" is recognized and offers me to install the app as I don't have it.

I've got "No default provider" in the Music settings of Google Assistant.
Nevertheless, when the voice commands stopped working with Gone Mad I checked this setting and strangely I had to change it because it was set back to Youtube Music.
I didn't pay attention if there has been a Google Assistant update in between.

I'm using a Pixel 4a on Android 11 and all in french.

Cheers.

the "default provider" is a curated list of apps that 3rd party players cant just add themselves to. Its really annoying. Also I've never been able to use the "on gone mad" to direct voice commands to the player. Assistant by default is supposed to route voice commands to the last used audio player. From gonemad's point of view it has no control over whether it gets the voice command or not.. so if its opening youtube music it sounds like assistant is just being lame.

Can you disable youtube music in assistant? there at least used to be a setting to choose which apps to search with

Yep, I'm blaming GA as well. I've checked and there has been an update 3 days ago, which matches when I began to face the issue.
Not aware of any possibility to disable an app in GA unfortunately.

I'll just wait and cross the fingers, GA's support is not as responsive as you I'm afraid ^^.

yeah i messed around with it last night and while i can get gonemad to open.. and play by just stateing play music, any other search just gives me a response saying it cannot find X. Oddly if i do "play X on gonemad", gonemad does receive a search request for literally "x on gonemad".. which of course fails because on gonemad is clearly not in any artist or album name. I'll look into it some more because it seems like its trying to query gonemad and not finding any results.. which is not how its supposed to work according to their docs

i did check and at least android auto is correctly doing the voice searches
