New versions of both the MediaServer and LMS-lite skills are now live
with two major enhancements:

* ngrok users on the free plan can now *autoupdate *tunnel details
-without -having to relink the skill(s)
* *Multiple *LMS instances can now be linked to the skill(s) under a
single Amazon account and single subscription

The online documentation at
https://mediaserver.smartskills.tech/setuphelp.html has been extensively
rewritten - finally, secure external access for LMS is set and forget.

In a nutshell, when you link from now on, you will be presented with a
uuid like -d84fb223c34002944701a9a70e5e82b65e01cda21b6e8914- which you
copy into a small (downloadable) python or perl script that is run as
part of your ngrok systemd service. That script queries your ngrok :4040
dashboard under the hood and pushes the (new) tunnel details off to the
cloud. A -lot- of attention was paid to security during
development/testing and the code was written for minimum latency
impact.

The multiple servers feature can be useful for people with holiday homes
or for those who stay in a flat during the work-week but go home at the
weekends. It can also be used for mixed control of e.g.
stable-release/nightly-release LMS servers while you beta-test. The only
requirement is that there are no repeated player names across your
server instances.

Thanks to those who participated in the beta testing. Let me know if
there are any bugs / corner-cases or if the documentation is not clear
on anything.

Enjoy !
