How do I add Amazon.helpintent in audio player

Question

When I ask help, Alexa help invoke instead not the custom help skill. If the audio player not playing eg. on the launch page I get the custom help invoke, but not in the audio player. How can I override that?

thank you.

Answer 1

Per the AudioPlayer documentation:

When sending a Play directive, you normally set the shouldEndSession flag in the response object to true to end the session.

So once the user has invoked the Play Directive, they are no longer interacting with your skill. The user can effect the playback of content from your skill using the built-in playback control intents, but any other interaction with your skill requires use of the normal invocation phrase - e.g. "Alexa, ask [SkillName] for help"

What about setting shouldEndSession to false?

This has the effect of expecting more user input. While this would allow the user to ask for help (or otherwise interact with you skill) immediately after starting the audio playback, it would also pause the audio playback to listen for this input.

Answer 2

You can't.

In Audio Player skill when skill starts to play audio, then there is no internal session management and you can only respond using AudioPlayer directives like Play Pause Next and some other directives which you can find In this link here.
