<InternalFailure/> from Play & Pause // parse error from jq?

[Korki67]

Hi there,

1) InternalFailure
Since Sept 4th at 02:53 in the morning I get an error <InternalFailure/> on play and pause commands from Amazon. The error occurs often but not always. I used "textcommand" as workaround. Anybody having same issue or solution?

2) parse error
I also get this from -q (query queue): parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 2, column 0. I was logging standard output, not error, so this was not logged until now. It may have started at same time as error 1) above, I am not sure. It is send by the alexa script and I assume the parse error is from jq? I have not changed anything as far as I am aware of. I have no idea what to do.

Any hints / ideas or feedback on same issues elsewhere would be great!

Regards,
Horst

Looks like those are /api/np/* endpoints. Possibly something is changing there.
(The parse error is jq trying to parse <InternalFailure/>).

I'll check if I can find out what Amazon is using instead nowadays.
Thanks for reporting the issue!

I just checked the Alexa App, Pause isn't working there either - looks like they broke something.
Let's be patient and observe if it just returns to normal within a few days :)

Cool. I will include the App into my test procedure in the future. Thanks so much!

I would wait for now ... lets see when Amazon fixes it ... and in fact contact Amazon supprt about the issues in App and voice :-)
