Hello Emby Support,

First time using Emby and bought the lifetime to use with my Alexa and music collection.  Any help would be appreciated.

Alexa stop playing after the first song ends on multi echo devices (3rd generation).   Plays fine on a single echo dot and continue to next song.  You can ask it to paly next song and it's fine but after the song ends, it stop playing.

With the alexa app on your phone please say "alexa ask m. b. home to play a few songs" and check if the next song plays

Yes, it continues to play next song on the phone but that audio is only on the phone not the Alexa echo.  When I tried that command on the Echo device group, it stops after the first song.  

Is the session not shared with all the echos in the group? Thanks for your help in advance.
