Stop Amazon Alexa audio output

I have an Alexa skill intent outputting an mp3 using the following code:

intentName() {
  this.handler.state = states.SOMESTATE;
  this.response.audioPlayerPlay('REPLACE_ALL', audio.url, '1', null, 0);
}

I have defined the following in the SOMESTATE and the newSessionHandlers handler:

'AMAZON.StopIntent' = function () {
  this.response.audioPlayerStop();
  this.emit(':responseReady');
}

But when I then say 'Alexa, stop' the stop intent defined above isn't called. Instead, the Unhandled intent in newSessionsHandlers is being called. Why is this?

Solution

  • I'm a moron, it would help if I had defined ALEXA.PauseIntent in the newSessionHandlers.
