AnyPod Alexa skill not working on Sonos One
Short version: a podcast skill called AnyPod which I use all the time on my Echo Dot isn't working on my new Sonos One, and as a new Sonos user I'm not sure if there's a problem or it's just not actually supposed to work.
So today I got my Sonos One, I set it up, all seems to be working, I can ask it to play music and that's fine, I can ask for radio stations and it works, it controls my heating and the TV just like my Echo Dot, awesome. Then I try to get it to play a podcast I've been listening to. I'm about halfway through the back catalogue so the built in Alexa podcast feature via TuneIn is a pain (only plays the most recent episode). I use a skill called AnyPod which lets you subscribe to podcasts, specify an episode number to play, and it remembers where you got to.
So I say "Alexa, tell AnyPod to play Reply All". The Sonos says "Now playing Reply All episode 86" and gives me the episode title, just like the Echo Dot does... and then silence. I test with the Echo Dot, it works as expected, episode 86 starts playing.
I tried a few different podcasts and get the same result, the Sonos just will not play a podcast using the AnyPod skill. Works fine using the built in podcast functionality but that will only play the most recent episode of a podcast.
Reading some posts on the forum here, I disabled the Sonos skill, restarted the Sonos and re-enabled the skill, rediscovered devices... still no good.
I wondered if ALL 3rd party skill were restricted but when I tested, but every other skill I tried seems to work ok.
So my question is, am I doing something wrong or is it to be expected that this skill would't work with my Sonos?
