This skill has nothing to do with plugins or LMS repositories so that was an unneeded/undesired step. Two problems with your streaming approach: (1) After the assume command completes, the skill session is closed so this skill is no longer listening. That subsequent 'play some music on House' is not directed to the skill any more but is directed to Alexa in general for her to decide what service to use for fulfillment. It for sure won't be this skill, which is why she produced gibberish. You would have to say 'Alexa,* tell Media Server to* play some Music on House'. Except that 'some' is reserved for -genres -by this skill, and music is not a genre. So that, too, would fail. 'Alexa, tell Media Server to play some Jazz on House' would work, if you have jazz in your library. I *strongly *recommend you take a look at the command reference online - it's designed to prevent grief like this ;) (2) Streaming only works to a -single -echo, namely the echo you are speaking to. You can PLAY to multiple Squeezeboxes and group players work fine, but not STREAM to multiple Echos. Again, it's all in the online docs. The command reference starts here: https://mediaserver.smartskills.tech/commandref/AddToPlaylist.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
