Most odd. This is definitely not working. MS will not stream my favorites (all Pandora stations). It shows that it is streaming on the Echo Show screen but no sound. This works fine using Play for LMS devices. Streaming local media to an Echo can only be stopped by unplugging the Echo. Alexa, Stop does nothing but interrupt the stream whilst processing the utterance. I have done this a few times now and it is consistent. *server : * lms 7.9 on rpi3 *players :* 2 x rpi 2b, hifiberry dac+ (whole-house, 2 x 300watts rms 8 ohm), + rpi 2b & hifiberry dac+ for subbass (500watts) ............. 3 x rpi picoreplayer. two with behringer uca222 usb dac ............. 1 x logitech boom ............. 1 x logitech radio *control :* windows 10, android squeeze ctrl, 2 x dot, 2 x show *main hifi:* 1959 rogers hg88mkiii valve/tube amplifier with picoreplayer. transcriptors hydraulic reference turntable ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rederikus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63042 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
