Wow... I checked my Google Home app for the first time in years to check my routines. They all were formatted saying "tell" triggerCMD instead of "ask" triggerCMD. Strange how "tell" worked for the past few years all the way up till the other day. Changed them all to "ask" and they are working again. Sorry to bother you...

@tim-s, your theory seems reasonable. I was sad to find out Google blocks most skills on their watches too. It's frustrating.

Awesome! Excellent work! Came home and activated Update Agent on server. Haven't spent much time with it but individual responses for individual commands is now working perfect it seems and when edited it seems to save the Voice Reply edits the first try. You don't mess around and get right on fixing stuff! Thanks!

@Martin-Musso, that's a cool idea. I did some research and figured out how to play a playlist and send the output to a Chromecast device:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" c:\playlists\playlist.xspf --sout="#chromecast{ip=192.168.86.25}" --demux-filter=demux_chromecast

But, I haven't figured out how to tell it to resume where it left off. This sortof worked, but only for the first thing in the playlist.

I tried this extension with no joy. https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154044/
If you do try it, you'll want to download it from the Files tab and manually drop it in
C:\Users(your user)\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions
If you search and install it from within VLC you'll get an old version that's even worse.
