A big thank-you to everyone who helped test Ear Wax, reported problems, shared ideas, and provided feedback during development. Your help made a real difference.

Hi @MarvinB
Congratulations on your release and thank you for sharing.

Setup worked first time for me. As well as a comforting success message on albums, playlists etc, I got an ominous "Emby did not respond quickly enough to some items" to the command "Alexa, ask Ear Wax provider status". I cant get to the bottom of why emby [rest api] is sometimes super speedy to respond and sometimes it is glacial for certain queries - but thats not an Ear Wax issue.

the setup page returned an inconsequential warning "Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON". didnt seem to affect anything.

I love the "what is playing" feature.

Do you share a roadmap of whats next on your mind for  Ear Wax, I would love to see "Play track" support, for when i just want to play a track and i cant rememeber who it is by.

I wasnt clear from your setup guide where the intended place to ask support queries was?
