Phil, Could be useful, for example, asking mediaserver to play an album, and then increasing volume, or skipping a track etc all in one session. Just so I understand how this would work, if I said " Ask mediaserver to play the album Kind of Blue by Miles Davis", with this feature would she then start playing the album and then ask "Anything Else?". If I didn't reply (ie. I didn't say "no" or issue another command, what happens then, is there a timeout period? What I'm really asking is do I really have to say "no" or will it time out? location 1: lms 8.0 on win 10 brix server, x2 sb radios, x1 touch, x1 controller : location 2: lms 8.0 on win 10 brix server, x2 sb radios, x1 duet receiver, x1 controller : alexa mediaserver smart skill, material android, squeezelitex control ------------------------------------------------------------------------ staresy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=807 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
