Hi,



I am having two major issues with the Alexa Sonos integration:



1) Most of the time, despite Alexa recognising my command correctly nothing reaches my Sonos players. I often have to repeat my command 2 or 3 times before anything starts playing. Alexa will say "x by the b playing on player" after I give it the command but a lot of the time nothing plays.



2) When I do eventually get an album, artist or station playing via Alexa it always seems to stop playing after the first track.



Are these known issues or is there something wrong with my setup? I had lots of difficulties getting set up initially as discovery kept on finding both my players and my parents players. My parents inherited some players from myself so they had the same household id as myself. Eventually I think I managed to get their players associated with their own Sonos account I think. I'm wondering if my account is somehow still associated with their players and that I am having issues as I originally had two kitchens, two living rooms etc. under devices in the Alexa app? It looks ok now in the Alexa app though. That would explain the random nature of commands working/not working.



I am using Amazon music but I would love Alexa to be able to control Google Play Music as I have a large library of my own music that I can listen to for free with Google Play. I resent having to pay a yearly + monthly subscription in order to play the huge volume of music I already own. I find I don't listen to enough new music to warrant paying these subscription fees. I also have all my music on my NAS so I was very disappointed to learn that music could not be called up to play from my own local library via Alexa.



Another huge disappointed, no details of what is currently playing in the Sonos app and no use of the queue. I can understand why the queue is not used as "shuffle my library" would require the entire library to be added to the queue which would obviously take a long time. We really need a special play mode that gradually adds more tracks to the queue as playback gets close to the end of the queue. That way quick load times but the user is still able to shuffle their entire library and see/adjust what's coming up next. Have a look at how Google Play has an upcoming queue of about 20 tracks that is gradually added to as it becomes exhausted.
