Recent Voice Control Update (Oct 2017 or so)?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Voice control, specifically requesting Model X to play a song, has changed dramatically. In the past, if I asked it to "play" a song, it quickly recognized even obscure songs and played them. Last night, while showing off to friends of course, the same thing resulted in a internet search and a list of albums and references, and if I selected "songs" it said "not found," even for common songs it used to play. I don't use the feature much, so the change could have happened a while ago, but it is a definite downgrade for this feature.
 
Also noticed this when I got my new 100D ...And it buffers all the time ..I just sold my 90D and did not have nearly the problem ...
I chalked it up to the new AP2 software , hoping for it to get better ...Maybe Slacker has acquired too many customers .
 
Seems to be still there:

Code:
        {
            "command_type" : "play",
            "description" : "play",
            "command_regexp" : "^plays?\\s(.*)$"
        },
        {
            "command_type" : "play",
            "description" : "listen to",
            "command_regexp" : "^listen (?:to|2)\\s(.*)$"
            , "tests_match": [
                ["listen to coldplay", "coldplay"],
                ["listen 2 coldplay", "coldplay"]
            ]

        },

More interestingly just nearby is this:
Code:
        {
            "command_type" : "clipbookmark",
            "description" : "clip logging bookmark",
            "command_regexp" : "^bookmarks?\\s?(.*)$"
            , "tests_match": [
                ["bookmark that prius cut me off", "that prius cut me off"],
                ["bookmark diving toward an exit", "diving toward an exit"]
            ]
        },
Another preparation for the dashcam functionality?

Any chance you could dump the entire JSON file to a paste somewhere?

It's in a bunch of languages so is long for no good reason. Only a few commands, though:

Code:
# grep 'command_type' voice_command_list_v2.json | uniq
            "command_type" : "navigate_to_home",
            "command_type" : "navigate_to_work",
            "command_type" : "navigate",
            "command_type" : "cancel_navigation",
            "command_type" : "call",
            "command_type" : "note",
            "command_type" : "clipbookmark",
            "command_type" : "play",

Thanks! Is this accessible on the fs via rooted and ssh?

Had the same problem. SC sent me my Slacker credentials and I logged out of the @teslamotors.com account it was logged into and into mine instead. Song search is working again. I can only assume the subscription expired on whatever account the car was logged into, the one they gave me renews on 8/8/2018.
 
The Voice Recognition software on my Tesla (I should only speak for myself) is pathetic, to say the least. I have had numerous cars with this option and they are all far more superior in recognizing the contact names in my phone list. My 2010 Prius can recognize when I say "call Pinchin" and finds the number. However with the Tesla 2017, it says "cannot find tin tin". I love everything Tesla, but this is my biggest issue with them. They really need to get better voice recognition software.

My experience is the exact opposite. I come from a BMW, which never recognized anything I said. Mind you, I am not even a native english speaker and have some accent. But Tesla is pretty much flawless in recognizing my voice. It also recognizes non Anglo names, which was a pleasant surprise. I can even say something as complicated as "Play Coldplay Something Just Like This" and it would recognize with just one try.

I should get mine checked out then. It might be just mine.
