Re: My Media in stereo on pair of echo 2 speakers?

Is stereo supposed to be working now for paired speakers? I upgraded to latest my media 1.3.122 and I have a stereo pair setup with a sub-woofer. I am only getting sound from 1 speaker when I use the "My Media" to play local tunes but Spotify and Amazon Music are in stereo. Yes, my understanding is...

Re: Multi-room Audio

Received an Email from Bizmodeller today detailing their suggested method of achieving multi-room audio. They said... Without question, our most commonly asked question is: "Does My Media for Alexa support multi-room audio". Our standard response has been that unfortunately due to restrictions in th...

Re: My Media in stereo on pair of echo 2 speakers?

The stereo stuff started working a month or so back and ws noted in othere threads. There is also a clumsy workaround for multi-room which seems to be much less reliable.

Re: Questions and issues using amazon echo

Hi Philippe,

Sadly you will be unlikely to receive regular support in these forums. They are mainly peer support - so help from other users.

I don't think you will find commands in French for the MyMedia skill.

I can't help with your other question.

Re: Multi-room speakers on Amazon echo

Remember, too, that Amazon does not support multi-room audio with third party skills like MyMedia. So the workaround that @lozzy_uk suggested is a solution that probably isn't supposed to work. The official answer to your question is that you can't do multi-room audio. A few of us have got it workin...

Re: Multi-room Audio

Apart being a long-winded method I can say that this worked for me if I played music from Amazon Music on the everywhere group first but not if I was listening to a radio station from TuneIn on the everywhere group. So I have to play music from Amazon Music on a group first and then MyMedia. A stere...

I think the Echo Sub uses multi-room, and it is now working for me.
I think the Sub is treated as a stereo pair and stereo is now working - at least for some users - but not multi-room.

What an interesting bit of news to creep in. Yes, it works for me too. Looking forward to Multiroom now.

Re: Tracks restarting on their own

I haven't noticed this but my use of the Alexa skill is now very reduced. The lack of support for stereo pairs/multi-room groups has been disappointing although not the fault of the devs. In fact I'm reminded that my annual payment was due about the time the COVID-19 lockdown came around and I didn'...

Re: IS MYMEDIA FOR ALEXA GONE???

I don't think MyMedia is abandoned but neithyer do I think that there is much development going on. It has always felt that these forums are not heavily visited by the developers. If something significant happened such Amazon enabling multi-room/stereo for third -party apps then I suspect we'd see s...

Re: Multi-room Audio

I see that the Global Radio group in the UK has updated it's Alexa skill so that it now supports multi-room audio (and stereo pairs).

Does that mean the API has been updated to allow third-party skill writers to add multi-room support? Really hope so...

Does PLEX play music out through the Amazon device though? or only through plex-compatible players?

Re: My Media for Alexa being discontinued?

Lack of updates doesn't necessarily imply lack of future. If there is nothing new to add or no bug to fix then no update is needed. What the developers are really in need of is for Amazon to enable options such as multi-room and stereo pair functions for third-party developers. The developers can on...

Re: Odd issue when asking to play a specific artist

How did you obtain thes albums by Nine Inch Nails? I think you might suffer this problem if the albums/songs do not have the band name correctly stored inside the mp3 tags... If the source of the albums did not tag the band name or called the band something else such '9" Nails' it is possible that M...

It seems bizarre that Amazon isn't supporting stereo in third-party apps.

Re: My Media in stereo on pair of echo 2 speakers?

My understanding is that this is an issue with all third-party apps. None support stereo or, for that matter, multi-room support. This seems to be a daft situation but is not in the hands of the MyMedia app crew. We need to pester Amazon to release the necessary API to developers. I saw a rumour som...

Re: Stereo pairing

THis would sure be a great function. In fact I was disappointed to discover that Amazon would have limited you in such an unnecessary manner.
