StreamSongVersion

Streams a specified song-title from a named album to the Echo to which you issue the command (i.e. the Echo is the audio sink for LMS).

Unlike the 'StreamSong' command, this limits playback to a specific version of a song and not all renditions in your library. If Alexa needs the name of the artist in order to complete the match, she will elicit.

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 ]

{song} can be any of [the] song/tune/track/number/something.
