I think Rowena is a bot.

You are asking about a third-party Alexa Skill, so Sonos will not support that.

You need to ask the MyPod developer.

Thanks for clarifying that. Like I said, I reached out the developer and he’s saying it’s a Sonos issue. So I don’t know where to turn. I did read on these forums that someone submitted a diagnostic report and some issues with this skill were resolved. So maybe it’s worth a shot.

Worth a shot I guess, but when I even mentioned my Sonos Alexa skill on here, I got into big trouble. That was with the old pre-Covid Support team, mind you.

The developer saying “its a Sonos issue” sounds like a cop-out to me. If they actually wanted Sonos assistance, then would post their issue on stackoverflow with the osonos] tag to get the attention of actual Sonos engineering. Of all the issues that my Skill had, this kind of basic playback problem was not one of them.
