Hello,

I've implemented simple IntentHandler for INPlayMediaIntent.

For Siri phrases "Play Game of Thrones on "AppName"" or "Play Game of Thrones using "AppName"" in resolveMeidaItems method I'm getting empty INPlayMediaIntent without meidaSearch parameter with mediaName for searching.

{
playShuffled = 0;
mediaSearch = <null>;
mediaContainer = <null>;
playbackRepeatMode = none;
mediaItems = <null>;
resumePlayback = 0;
playbackQueueLocation = now;
playbackSpeed = <null>;
}

But it works fine with "Play Game of Thrones from "AppName"" phrase.

The same behavior for many queries, but there are exceptions.
F.e "Play Queen on "AppName"" or "Play Leave No Trace on "AppName"" works fine.

Why does it work like this and what is the right way to use INPlayMediaIntent for search and start playing movies.

I am hope for your help.
Thanks!

Hello, I have the same issue.
I've downloaded apple sample project for Managing Audio with SiriKit
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/media/managing_audio_with_sirikit
And when I'm trying to handle "Play Game of Thrones on ControlAudio" or "Play Game of Thrones using ControlAudio" phrases in resolveMediaItems(for:with:) method I receive an empty intent.

But it works fine for "Play Game of Thrones in/from ControlAudio".
I have also tried the same queries on Spotify.
And Spotify starts playing music from Game of Thrones to any of those phrases.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
