Show streamed media also in Player in Alexa App

Hi,

now that I started using it more and more I saw that when the skill plays a song this is not reflected at all in the Alexa-App under "Player" as it would be when playing Tunein, mazon Music or such.

Is it possible also to include that?

Unfortunately this falls into the bucket "we would love to, but..."

Amazon only provide a limited set of APIs to third party skills and unfortunately we can't influence the now playing player screen within the Alexa companion app. Maybe Amazon will introduce support for it in the future at which point we'll also support it as soon as possible.

Is there already a thing on Amazon side where I could vote for it? :-) Or where I would need to create something?

along the same lines and maybe even same part of system.
the ability to make my media our default music player instead of the 2 choices we get now of amazon music and spotify.
if we got in there i bet it would then show on the now playing as apollon77 is asking for.
