Commands Related to Music Do Not Work as Expected

I'm not sure what could be causing this issue, but I cannot get consistent results from the Alex integration. I can use the following command:

"tell m. b. home to play songs by Stray kids on Alexa"

and I'll get songs from a completely different artist. I've checked the folder structures and the metadata of the files, and they are indeed correct so there shouldn't be any crossing of information going on.

Additionally, if I try to use the command

"tell m. b. home to play playlist For Lotus on Alexa"

I'll get a no media found error. I've made sure that the playlist name is correct, and I've forced a library scan on the playlist library to make sure Emby should be fully aware of the playlist names.

 

Am I just woefully misunderstanding what Alexa should be able to do?

The playing of different artists is now fixed.

Playing Playlist's will be available on the next release.

Hoorah looking forward to playlist support.

I see Alexa Skill has changed in the last few days with a new welcome message.....wondering what else might have changed...
