"""Run a recognizer using the Google Assistant Library.

The Google Assistant Library has direct access to the audio API, so this Python
code doesn't need to record audio. Hot word detection "OK, Google" is supported.

The Google Assistant Library can be installed with:
    env/bin/pip install google-assistant-library==0.0.2

It is available for Raspberry Pi 2/3 only; Pi Zero is not supported.

@t1m0thyj Thanks for the code, this turns my AIY from box that you can speak to into awesome DJ that can play any song you can think of.

Do you know how to make the song restart without downloading it again? I tried vlc_player.play() but that just unpauses it if it's playing and does nothing if it has already fiished.

@t1m0thyj Also, is there a way to tell when the player has finished playing a song?

@J0hnL0cke please help !!! how to add these codes in raspberry pi !! i am a beginner and i don't know how to do this.I am done with the google assistant but i don't know who to add this one
please email me n tell me how to do this: [email protected]

pip3 install youtube_dl
pip3 install python_vlc

Awesome work but I'm wondering if i said anything else like " what's the weather " will it respond with the weather ?

@lordjoo Yes it should, the commands defined in the code above are not the only commands supported, they are overrides that replace Google Assistant's default behavior.

I really need help! I'm terrible at python, so please excuse me if this is just a dumb mistake, but first of all, I had to remove aiy.voicehat and replace aiy.audio with aiy.board (I think that's the right API?), but every time that I run it, it reads everything until line 130, and gives me the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./assistant.py", line 137, in <module> main() File "./assistant.py", line 130, in main device_id, model_id = aiy.assistant.device_helpers.get_ids(credentials) AttributeError: module 'aiy.assistant.device_helpers' has no attribute 'get_ids'. PLEASE HELP, because I spent $60 on a voice kit, thinking that YouTube Music was built in and the Assistant was just like the one on my Chromebook, but apparently not D:

Also, I renamed the file to assistant.py so that's what that is

@RubyGamerX600 This script used to work for me with google-assistant-library==0.0.2 as mentioned at the top of the file, but that version is now several years old and I don't know if it still works. Since then I no longer use my VoiceKit and it looks like google-assistant-library has been deprecated (see here) so you may need to find an alternative.
