I was using the sample application and sending a broadcast command to the Google Assistant using the --text_input option and everything was working correctly.

Now, in the latest version, the Google Assistant responds with: "Something went wrong. Something went wrong," but I don't get an error, even with verbose turned on. Do I need to do something different than before? Other commands, such as "What time is it?" work correctly. Here is the output from the broadcast request:

$ ./run_assistant --text_input "Broadcast Dinner" --credentials_file ./credentials.json
    Using locale en-US
    assistant_sdk robots_pem:
    assistant_sdk CreateCustomChannel(embeddedassistant.googleapis.com:443, creds, arg)

    assistant_sdk wrote first request: config { audio_out_config { encoding: LINEAR16 sample_rate_hertz: 16000 } dialog_state_in { language_code: "en-US" } device_config { device_id: "default" device_model_id: "default" } text_query: "Broadcast Dinner" }
    assistant_sdk waiting for response ...
    assistant_sdk Got a response
$

I also posted this on the Google Communities page, I hope it's OK to post the question in both places.

  • If you look at your Google Activity, you'll see "I wasn't able to broadcast. Try again later." Looks like something has changed on Google's end which has disabled this command. – jymbob May 22 '18 at 17:39

Same issue .. was working a week or so ago, then I went on hols and it isn't anymore. If you use the voice input and ask it to broadcast it says "sorry I can't find any other speakers connected to your home network, so I can't broadcast your message"

I don't think this is a problem with your code.

I have the same issue on a project of mine that has been working without issue for months, and then around the 14th May it all stopped working.

We need Google to resolve this one.
