Audiobooks problems

Post by PeteM »

Hi,

I am having strange problems in playing some audiobooks (m4b format).
If I ask "Alexa, ask my media to play Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" - it plays "Peril at End House" by Agatha Christie?

I have tried re-scanning the indexes and it is the same.
Is there a way I can do this without having to scan again - is it a Cache problem ?

Hi,

Have you tried, Alexa ask mymedia to *read* Harry Potter etc?

I have found that if you don't use read, then MyMedia will assume you are trying to play a track rather than an audiobook - and will find the nearest thing it thinks is a match.

Hi,
Yes I've used Read as well. It works for a couple of HP books but the same happens for the others... Even cleared the database but still the same.
