Display track info during play

I have created a skill to listen to user request, then run the Album requested by the user. the album is a list of mp3 files that runs one after one using the PlaybackNearlyFinished handler to enqueue next audio. this skill is working fine.

Now I want to display a custom APL that show information about the current track.

I tried many scenarios and all of them failed, could you please suggest any approach to implement this ?

Note that the tracks should run one by one automatically without any touch or user interaction.

Hi, you asked about this before.

If you want to use APL then you cannot use the Alexa Audio Player interface, the two do not work together.

The APL Video component is your best bet if you really must have custom graphics with your audio. But you cannot use the Audio Player interface with this approach.

Thanks Andy, using the Video I can run my audio along with my APL Graphics

Video Component can run in hidden way and hence only the audio is running which is what I want.
