Not quite a full relationship with Google Play, but if you have the Google Play Music Desktop Player installed for Linux, you can use my new skill to at least apply some of these controls:

Waiting for the pull request to be approved to get this into the Community Skills list, but you can install directly from github.

I’d like to see something like this added. My son plays with Alexa Echo dot and my daughter plays with Google Home and both have a similar type of skill. The setup for my daughter’s Google Home is timer based, and for my son its playlist based, but both stop after approximately an hour.

I cannot submit an issue on your github location so here is what happens when the skill is installed:

Do you have the Google Play Music Desktop Player installed for Linux?
This Skill has a dependency on the Google Play Music Desktop Player.

Yes, using it right now as a matter of fact.

…and I see that the bottom of my error report was cut off. The error was regarding incorrect syntax, tabs and spaces.
