bixby question...

[stewarta13wsb]

If I ask Bixby to open Samsung music player it does it every time. If I copy that from history and make it part of a set of actions, it says it can't.
Any Bixby experts have any idea why or how to fix it?

I stopped using Samsung music because bixby wouldn't play music with it. It would say first we need to update Samsung music, which didn't have an update.

Bixby uses Google play music just fine, but couldn't play Samsung music.

Thanks for that, but I wonder why a one off command will open it but the task set can't!

What is the quick command you are trying to construct? Ive noticed with some Bixby quick commands, depending what is on the screen when a command is executed has an impact if its done, not or a prompt appears.

I have a quick command that opens email app, checks for new messages, switches to all accounts, selects all messages and marks all as read. Then returns to the home screen. It took allot of trial and error to make it work.

Bixby always got stuck on the select all email. In a quick command it wanted to search for an email. But when executed separately it selected all mail. By changing the one command from "select all mail" to "email select all" it worked. But then I was able to do away with that command by simply skipping it using "Mark all email as read". Which replaced the need for selecting all.

Sorry for that long explanation. Its just an example how something simple can not work when stringing commands together. Sometimes you need to be specific and other times use the app name in the beginning of a command.

I have bixby voice activated but for some reason it does not respond if I'm on a website like this one, from home screen I can ask it to open play music but once that open it doesn't respond to ..hi bixby.....

Hi,
I am in the same boat. I would like to create a quick command to open a downloaded music app.
So far, I have not figured out how to do it. I want to change the default music player to this app as well. I don't see where the default music player is set.

 

[stewarta13wsb]

Good point, just tried to set music player as default but I can't find how to do it either. The main ones in the list are easy but the rest is a mystery

 

[stewarta13wsb]

Found it - if no default is set... I went into file manager and selected a song it then came up with a box to select which app to open it with. I picked music and ticked always! Job Done.
Now... back to my command, wonder if that made a difference?

Samsung Music was set to the default even though Bixby opens up Google play. Once I removed the default, I got the select box as well. However, the music player that I was using did not show! I download a different one and that showed.
I was able to create my quick command by selecting a command from history.

Im looking for a command to open the weather app that i can use in a quick command, the only official commands i can find is through the calendar app for what ever reason
