StreamSongIndex

Streams a song based on its index (rather than title) on a named album. Useful e.g. if you cannot remember the name of a tune but do remember e.g. that it's the third track. If Alexa needs the name of the artist in order to complete the match, she will elicit.

Note that the first track is numbered 1 and not 0.

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.

Invocation options (choose based on grammar-fit):

Alexa, [ open / start / launch ] MediaServer
Alexa, [ ask / tell ] MediaServer [ to / for ]


stream index {Index} from {Album}
stream index {Index} from the album {Album}
stream index {Index} from {Album} by {Artist}
stream index {Index} from the album {Album} by {Artist}
