V4.6 of MediaServer is now live, with support for *individual streams* for all of your Echos.
In other words, a separate "/stream.mp3" endpoint is created for each Echo. I've tested it with 9 concurrent streams and it worked perfectly, although YMMV if transcoding is needed and your hardware is not up to the compute-task (my test machine is a dual-core Celeron with 8GB). The Echos all show as *pseudo players* in LMS -while streaming- and will disappear again when streaming ends. As before, they won't show in the GUI until you start a stream by voice. Each Echo with a display will show the correct cover-art and metadata for that stream. Also new is that you can use *FollowMe* to transfer a now-playing stream *from an Echo to a regular player* (but _not_ vice versa). If you say e.g. "Follow Me to the Kitchen player" then the skill will first check if the *assumed* player is playing/active. If it is then it's the source that will be transferred, just as before. However, if the assumed player is inactive but the *Echo* you're speaking to -is- streaming from LMS, then that Echo's playlist is transferred and the stream is stopped. Note that if both sources are active then the assumed player 'wins'.
