StreamGenre

Starts streaming all the songs in the specified genre contained in your LMS library to the Echo to which you issue the command (i.e. the Echo is the audio sink for LMS).

If you have a very large library and tens of thousands of songs in the requested genre, queuing them up in LMS may take longer than you might expect in which case Alexa will ask you to be patient. If you have no songs in the requested genre, she'll tell you so.

Touchscreen buttons for prev/next/pause appear on Echos with displays when the screen is tapped. The skill's invocation name can be omitted for transport commands such as play/pause/stop/next/previous/startover while streaming. Audio will auto-pause the moment you say 'Alexa'.

When streaming starts, a pseudo-player with 'Alexa-XXXXX' in its name will appear in the LMS GUI — one for each currently-streaming Echo. Note that the time/track/index shown in LMS/iPeng will not match the stream due to aggressive buffering by the Echo. If you change anything from the GUI, simply say 'Alexa, resume' to re-align and clear the buffer. You cannot query now-playing data for an Echo or synchronize it, also due to buffering.
