Open Specific Netflix Movie with Alexa

Felipe Guedes

@Russ it's doesn't work.
No problem

Russ

@Felipe-Guedes, what does Alexa say back to you?

Felipe Guedes

@Russ I try to say in this order:

Alexa, Abrir Execute Comando
Alexa, Execute automação com parâmetro boss baby
Alexa says: Diga algo como execute a calculadora no laptop, você também pode dizer para se já estiver terminado.

Other way:

Alexa, pergunte Execute Comando executar automação com o parâmetro X.
Alexa says: Diga algo como execute a calculadora no laptop, você também pode dizer para se já estiver terminado.

Russ

Thank you @Felipe-Guedes! That helps. I found and fixed one problem so far:

I said, "Alexa, pergunte Execute Comando executar calculadora." and Alexa sent this to my server, which is wrong. The value should have been calculadora, not comando calculadora.

  "name": "Trigger",
  "value": "comando calculadora",

I've had this problem before. Alexa sends extra words in the trigger field. I fixed that, but I'm not sure that's the problem you were having.

After that it worked for me. I said, "Alexa, pergunte Execute Comando executar automação com o parâmetro boss baby" and it ran my command and passed "bos baby" as the parameter.

This is my test command:

Will you please test again and tell me if that helped?

Felipe Guedes

i need to update something?

Russ

@Felipe-Guedes, no, I updated the code on the server to handle the problem when Alexa sends comando with the trigger word. I'm hoping that solves the problem you're having.

Felipe Guedes

When i said the command like you said, alexa anwser me a helper to execute the command.

Russ

@Felipe-Guedes, are you saying Alexa answered this way again?

Diga algo como execute a calculadora no laptop, você também pode dizer para se já estiver terminado.

Also, if you go to https://alexa.amazon.com/ you can see the words Alexa thinks you said. Can you copy/paste that here?

This is what mine showed:

Felipe Guedes

Sorry, i don't see this msg.
Yes, Alexa answer exactly this.

Diga algo como execute a calculadora no laptop, você também pode dizer para se já estiver terminado.

Russ

@Felipe-Guedes, does this site work in Brazil or is this just the english or US version of Alexa web?
https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#cards
I was hoping you could use that site because it's helpful to know what Alexa is hearing.

Also, if this is too much to ask, no problem, but would you mind sending me a recording of yourself saying, this?
Alexa, pergunte Execute Comando executar automação com o parâmetro bos baby.
I might be able to use the recording to "train" Alexa to hear it correctly.

Thank you for your patience.

Felipe Guedes

its that !

Felipe Guedes

@Russ How i send you my voice record?

Russ

@Felipe-Guedes, you could use one device, like your computer to play it using that play button: ... and use another device, like your phone to record it.

@Russ Hello, Russ. I didn't get lucky with this javascript here and I have created my own using Python + Selenium. It actually does the same thing. Opens the browser, inserts the credentials, searchs for the movie (parameter), plays it and puts it on fullscreen. If someone is interested, I can share the code.

But actually, my reply is about the way we talk to Alexa to run the script. I'm from Brazil as well... When I'm using "Execute comando" it doesn't feel natural. Most of it is because the "pergunte" in the beginning. Something more like "Alexa, Execute Comando YYYY com parâmetro XXXX" would feel better.

The "execute comando" needs to be part of the phrase and not the name of the service to feel more natural.

@Adalberto eu tenho interesse em testar esse código de puder compartilhar amigo. Muito obrigado.

You will need to install Python and Selenium
Video for reference (PT-BR):
- Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcfalMf9bRY
- Selenium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot10qzrb13c (choose the version compatible with your browser)
Remember to put Python on windows PATH (during installation)

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time
import sys

if len(sys.argv) == 2:
    movie = sys.argv[1]
else:
    movie = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])

# You can put the chromedriver wherever you want - you can download it from http://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/
PATH = r"C:\chromedriver.exe"
# You can select any browser available for Selenium
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

#Netflix login initial page
driver.get("https://www.netflix.com/br/login")
element = driver.find_element_by_name("userLoginId")

#Insert your email
element.send_keys("netflixacc@gmail.com")
time.sleep(0.2)

#Insert your password
element2 = driver.find_element_by_name("password")
element2.send_keys("netflixpassword")
time.sleep(0.3)
element2.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(2)

#Insert your profile name as seen after you log in
profile = driver.find_element_by_link_text("netflixprofilename")
profile.click()

time.sleep(3)

search.click()

time.sleep(1)

time.sleep(0.5)
fullscreen = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='touchable PlayerControls--control-element nfp-button-control default-control-button button-nfplayerFullscreen']")
fullscreen.click()

On TRIGGERcmd:
Trigger: Search on Netflix
(EXAMPLE) Command: start C:\PycharmProjects\netflix\netflix.py
(You need to put your py file directory)
Ground: foreground
Voice: netflix
Allow parameters: true

Portuguese:
Activate Execute Comando skill on Alexa app
To Alexa: "Alexa, pergunte Execute Comando executar netflix com parâmetro the alienist"

English:
Activate TRIGGERcmd skill on Alexa app
To Alexa: "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run netflix on the alienist"

Any updates I will edit the post. There are things that I want to improve (like the sleep time)

@AdalbertUma pergunta, eu uso python, quando procuro que o argumento está vazio, você poderia me ajudar com qual seria o problema, por favor

Russ

@Nico-Ramirez, Google Translate translated what you said to this:
Question, I use python, when I make sure that the argument is empty, could you help me with what serious or problem, please

I'm not sure what the problem is. Please clarify.
