Can i play a video in my Alexa simulator for custom skill testing purpose ?

I am working on sample project , where i am trying to play a video in Alexa simulator for testing.

First question is

Can the video be played in simulator for testing or should be tested in Actual echo show/spot device ?

If so the video can be played, while testing I am getting below errors

1.The target device does not support the specified directive.

2. I couldn't find any enabled video skills that can play that. Go to the Alexa app to manage your video skills and devices.

If anyone can help in solving these errors it would be helpful.


Thanks

Hi @Prajwal,

Unfortunately this is not possible in Alexa test simulator. To test you need to check it on Alexa Echo Show or Echo Spot.
