Bring Multi-Room support to AudioPlayer API streaming

Alexa Multi Room streaming does not appear to be available for third party skills that leverage the AudioPlayer API.

Feature request is to extend support for Multi Room to the AudioPlayer interface. This could be implemented by adding a custom slot type for the multi room location and then adding an optional parameter to the Play() command to allow the destination room group to be specified.

This has 37 likes and 19 comments as of Mar 2018 on this URL but doesn't show up on this feature forum - https://forums.developer.amazon.com/idea/101848/bring-multi-room-support-to-audioplayer-api-stream.html - so posting again.

    I have seven Alexa devices in my home. It's frustrating that I'm not able to play music throughout my home from smaller skill developers!

    I can't believe this is still outstanding>
    i realise that failing to provide it gives Amazon a competitive advantage, but how about competing on quality and price??

  • Andrew Rich commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'd love to be able to play my podcasts and local music to my Alexa multi-room speaker groups. Thanks.

    Considering selling my echoes if this doesnt get fixed

  • Serena commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a must have. Please add this so i can buy more alexa devices over sonos.

  • Mr. Kenneth M. Watts commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add multiroom support for 3rd party Skills. It would make the echo speakers that much more functional.

  • Dr. Richard Vogt commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please allow multiroom support for 3rd Party Skills.

  • Evan T Brown commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have multiple echo devices in my home and it only makes sense to open this API to access all these devices. Thanks

  • Lloyd Langley commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add multi-room support. Thank you

  • Hannah White commented  ·   ·  Report

    What's the point of having 5+ Amazon devices if we cannot use them. And I can no longer play the music that I bought on Amazon, on Alexa. Very bad customer service!

  • John Farthing commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please allow multiroom support for 3rd Party Skills like "My Media"

  • Stephen Bendshadler commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE! I've been waiting years for this. I have over 20 echo devices. I need to be able to do multiroom streaming from my Plex server. I don't want to switch to the G platform which will allow me to do this. Pretty pretty please!!!

    Comon Amazon... get this done... This is a simple feature add and should have been a part of the plan to begin with...

  • Quinn commented  ·   ·  Report

    Amazon needs to better support the users who want to use the music libraries containing files they bought from Amazon in the first place and which allowed Amazon to survive and grow to the company it is today. Instead, they are treating their long-time, power-user community like a used tissue. The most recent insult was forcing users to pay for Prime Music Unlimited or else be forced into a shuffle of "similar" music when we just want to play a single song. I'll pay for another music service before I will be strong-armed by Amazon in this manner. It's the principle of the thing.

  • Chris Lee commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's hard to believe this isn't already a feature!

  • Larry L. Davis commented  ·   ·  Report

    I just bought a bunch of Alexa devices. I like them. Need the ability to play my local music that I have purchased for the last 30 years.

  • Robert S. Lukosh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Really needs to support local music piped to various speaker groups; inconsistent that it will only do it for "approved" linked Amazon music sources.

  • michael breslin commented  ·   ·  Report

    Come on Amazon. Not very good customer service, if you just ignore us!!
