Playing video using alexa presentation language directive

Has anyone solved the problem of truncated voice when APL auto-starts some video?

Thanks

There is currently an issue where if outputSpeech and video are played together, by setting the video's autoplayproperty to true, they play in parallel. Also, setting shouldEndSession to false means that you want a response from the user - you would want to set this to true if you want to close the session.

Check out the documentation here as well regarding accepting voice input after a video has finished playing.

I have not added video app launch directive. I only added APL directive and speak. In that APL json only i am showing video. In that video only the session is still alive even after the video starts

const LaunchRequestHandler = {
  canHandle(handlerInput) {
    return handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'LaunchRequest';
  },
  handle(handlerInput) {
    const speechText = 'Welcome to the video list. Here\'s your video!';

    let selectedIndex = 0;
    SELECTED_NEWS = NewsList;
    SELECTED_NEWS.name = "Demo Video";
    const attributesManager = handlerInput.attributesManager;
    const sessionAttributes = attributesManager.getSessionAttributes();

    sessionAttributes.newsName = SELECTED_NEWS.name;
    sessionAttributes.newsLength = (SELECTED_NEWS.list.length-1);
    sessionAttributes.isFirstNews = true;
    sessionAttributes.isLasttNews = false;
    sessionAttributes.newsNumber = 0;
    sessionAttributes.selectedIndex = 0;
   attributesManager.setSessionAttributes(sessionAttributes);

    if (supportsAPL(handlerInput)) {

      return handlerInput.responseBuilder
      .speak(speechText)
      // .reprompt("")
      .withShouldEndSession(false)
      .addDirective({
          type: 'Alexa.Presentation.APL.RenderDocument',
          token: "homepage",
          document: require('./launchReq.json'),
          datasources: {
            "newsListData": {
              "properties": {
                "backgroundImg": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/apl-community-code/drinks/barbackground.jpg",
                "selectedDrink": SELECTED_NEWS.list,
                "name": SELECTED_NEWS.name,
                "current":sessionAttributes.newsNumber
              }
            }
          }
      })
      .getResponse();
    } else {
      return handlerInput.responseBuilder
        .speak(speechText)
        .reprompt(speechText)
        .withSimpleCard('Demo Video', speechText)
        .getResponse();
    }

  

  },
};

You haven't used code blocks so it's a bit hard to see what you've written so I'll paste my code.

But what I can see is that it's not loading the APL as it's loading the video first.

const PlayVideoIntentHandler = {
  canHandle(handlerInput) {
    return handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'IntentRequest'
        && handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.intent.name === 'PlayVideoIntent';
  },
   handle(handlerInput) {
    if (supportsDisplay(handlerInput)) {          
        handlerInput.responseBuilder
         .addDirective({
                type: 'Alexa.Presentation.APL.RenderDocument',
            	version: '1.0',
		document: main,
		datasources: data_sources
          })
          .addVideoAppLaunchDirective(VIDEO_URL,VIDEO_TITLE, VIDEO_SUBTITLE);
          return handlerInput.responseBuilder
	      .getResponse();
    } else {
        handlerInput.responseBuilder
          .withSimpleCard(TITLE, "This skill requires a device with the ability to play videos.")
          .speak("This video cannot be played on your device. To watch this video, try launching this skill from an echo show device.");
        
        return handlerInput.responseBuilder
        .getResponse();
    }
  },
};
