@Vitor, the main goal of the skill is to control an LMS -server -by voice commands rather than control a Squeezebox -player -by voice - hope you understand the difference. The very first post in this thread gives a long list of the kinds of commands possible. MediaServer also allows you to play -any -audio sourced from LMS on Echo sink devices (currently, this is always transcoded to MP3). So it addresses both of the goals you mentioned (by the way, the Echo's mic and BT quality are totally irrelevant here). If what you mainly want to do is control Spotify by voice, there already is a Spotify skill for that. A squeezebox connected to LMS can fulfill the role of a -Spotify Connect- device so if that's how you want to set things up then the Spotify skill is a better bet. If you are instead using the Spotty plugin for LMS then the MediaServer skill will allow you to load playlists by voice but the functionality is otherwise limited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
