The big news in this issue is adding the CommonPlaySkill, a subclass of the MycroftSkill adding functionality for negotiating which skill should handle a playback call. This will still need a couple of skill updates to take advantage of the system but it should be running within a day or two.

In this release we also have gotten our first couple of new hacktoberfest contributors @mpolidori and @silvia-odwyer (and @JarbasAl but he's not really new). A big thank you for these contributions, we hope you'll stick around!

Common playback skill #1843

Adds the base class for the common play skill implementing the base functionality. To create a skill import the CommonPlaySkill:

from mycroft.skills.common_play_skill import CommonPlaySkill

and create a class implementing the methods CPS_match_query_phrase and CPS_start. The first will parse a phrase and return a confidence level and the second will start playback:

class MyPlaybackSkill(CommonPlaySkill):
    def CPS_match_query_phrase(self, phrase):
        # Check if the phrase is playable and return confidence level
        return return phrase, confidence, data # data can be used to send info to the CPS_start skill

    def CPS_start(self, phrase, data):
        # Start playback of the matched query

Fallback TTS #1840

If a remote TTS such as Mimic 2 or googleTTS is used and the network connection goes down the tts will fallback to the local version of Mimic.

A system for setting context for all skills was added. Big shuot out to @JarbasAI for building this!
