Quick update
Alpha v0.2.1.3 was released over the weekend and the test volunteers are
currently picking it apart for bugs. Main new feature is the ability to
list and load favorites and playlists. Users can now also adjust volume
by 'a bit'.
After squashing a few bugs arising and adding a couple of minor new
features, we'll be moving on to what will hopefully be the final Alpha
which will include the ability to search for and play
tracks/albumbs/artsist/genres by name.
Once that's done, I'll be in touch with everyone who wanted to be part
of Beta to get some serious testing done.
Here are the release notes for those following along. More anon....
*Version 0.2.1.3 (5th January 2019)*

name saving to DB (skill)

(skill)
[*=left]Added support for qualified volume changes (turn it up <a
little | a lot>)
[*=left]Implemented GameEngine to better extend listening after Alexa
reads long lists of devices etc (skill)
[*=left]Added support for 'Cancel', 'Quit', 'Exit', 'Nothing', 'That's
All' to exit listening mode (skill)

(skill)

Known Issues:
[*=left]For users with echo devices on a different subnet to their
LMS, you may need to issue 2x commands before shortcuts will work (one
for skill to figure out it can't reach the LMS directly and one for it
to default back to retrieving the workaround file from hab-tunes.com.
Also, saving plugin settings will reset you back to trying to access
local files
[*=left]Users should respond to Alexa prompts with known commands
only. Polite 'yes' and 'no' are not yet supported.
[*=left]Still some translations missing for our DE users
[*=left]Reserved keywords (eg 'Play') don't work when tagged on to
invocation commands
[*=left]The feedback for loading playlists & favourites is
exceptionally verbose to aid with debugging. This will be shortened
considerably in the next version.,
