Can't play playlists on multiple Alexa devices

[bardx 1]

If I start playing a playlist on an Amazon Echo device (through the Alexa skill), and then I start playing another playlist on another Amazon Echo device, things get messy. Either one of the two stops playing, or the first starts playing the second playlist. Any idea on how to solve this?

Does this also happen if you ask the Emby skill to "change the default player" to the Alexa Echo on both devices?

When Echo A is playing playlist A and "Alexa Next" is issued on Echo B, Echo A moves to next track.

When Echo A is playing playlist A and "Alexa Ask m.b home play Next" is issued on Echo B, Echo B plays what is presumably the next track in playlist A session, Echo A continues to play out the song it is on but doesnt move onto the next song. You can repeat this vice versa and steal the session back to Echo A.

interesting....

I guess we just need to know how to interact with alexa and code for two use cases.

• Multiple different listening sessions in the house
• A single listening session in the house, potentially moving between devices...
• [and potentially in the future ... multiroom simultaneous output , half joking]
