Hi, and thanks for this great app.

Could someone please explain the sharing of invitations process.

Does entering of an email, push out an email request to the person invited ?

How is this process accomplished.

Thanks :)

Sharing enables multiple Amazon accounts to access your My Media server instead of just the account you used when you set up My Media.

This is really useful if you are in a household of multiple Alexas and have multiple Alexa profiles / accounts set up but you want all those accounts to access your My Media server.

To use it, use the My Media 'Sharing' tab to enter the additional Amazon accounts you want to be able to access your media server.

Then, from an Alexa device using that Amazon account, ensure the My Media skill is Enabled, and then say "Alexa, ask my Media to list my invitations".

You should then be told "You have an invitation from xxxxxxx". Accepting the invitation will allow that account access,.

This can even work if the additional account is in a different location if you have enabled internet based access for your My Media server.
