I gain a soundfile that plays fine if I point to it from my skill when its hosted on S3. I moved it to a cloud server I rented. The domain has a legit ssl cert (not self signed). I can play the file myself through a browser so I know its there and it works. In my code all I did was change the url of the file (checked multiple times that I didn't design some sort of syntax error). When I execute the skill it doesn't give an error but it doesn't play the file either. If I give the discontinue command it doesn't doesn't execute the StopIntent,it just sort of sits in limbo. From experience I found that that generally means it either didn't like the ssl site or it didn't like the file format (this is the same mp3 file that works correctly when streamed through S3). The weird thing is I thought I read the images used in present body templates also need to be on https and my body template can use an image from my domain without a problem. It would be great if someone particularly from Amazon could look at this link and see if they can tell why it doesn't like the file.
The code that plays it looks like:var streamInfo.url: 'https://gentleechodesigns.com/crickets/crickets.mp3';this.response.speak(speechOutputSignOn).audioPlayerPlay('REPLACE_ALL', streamInfo.url, and 1,null, 0);***EDIT: Looking around it seems like for apps you need to set a security profile that defines origins. I can't find a security profile for skills. Could this not be working because somewhere I gain to gain a profile stating my data is coming from my site?
