As promised, a new updated version in now live. You 'get' it
automatically so no need for any special action. Here's a summary of the
changes:

* If you drop an ngrok tunnel and the skill cannot connect, the message
will be more helpful in explicitly telling you the ngrok error message.
* Matching of tags with numbers (e.g. thousand vs 1000) is now very much
improved.
* If you try to add a track to a playlist and it's already in that
playlist, you'll be told so and it won't add.
* Spoken responses referencing a player name will now say "on the ...
player" instead of "in the ..." (which made sense only if the player was
named after a room).
* There's more flexibility around player names not matching a room
barename.

A caveat with the player-names change is that it will only work well on
non-barenames for commands that you -don't- issue as a 'one-shot' but
use is a 'session'. Explanation:
If you have a player called "Cherished Transporter" and you say "Alexa,
tell Media Server to play the album Abacab by Genesis on the Cherished
Transporter player", chances are it will not work.
If you first say "Alexa, open Media Server", wait for her to say "Say a
Media Server command", and THEN say "Play the album Abacab by Genesis on
the Cherished Transporter player" it should work fine. This is an Amazon
quirk - don't blame me ;) Single-word deviations from barenames might
fare better as one-shots, e.g. Touch or Black.

Once you have -assumed -the player with the non-barename friendlyname,
then one-shots -will -work from the -assuming Echo-.

For the avoidance of doubt, there's no change for existing barename
players and they will always work exactly as they used to, both in
one-shots and in sessions.

My recommendation remains unchanged - you should make your life easy and
work with barenames. But for the die-hards here's a workable (if less
than optimal) solution.
