I just received the Mini earlier today. Setup was a bit of a dog's dinner. Testing it with bluetooth headphones via UPnPbridge. I'm reserving judgement at the moment....

[castalla]

Thanks.

I'm a simple soul, so I only have single favourites. It's working perfectly....

[castalla]

Bingo! Renewed all LMS players, and renamed Touch echo to Touch...

Favourites working. BRILLIANT.

Thanks for patience and help....

[castalla]

Oh well, at a loose end this weekend, anyway! Later.......

[castalla]

Same don't know fail message. ... with 'favourite 1 on touch echo'

'resume on touch echo' works
'turn off on touch echo' works
etc
😬...

Where will I find the JSON or is it on your system? Discover devices reported no new devices.

The device list reported 40 devices - lots of old and duplicate names....

Works on Black Radio

Same don't know how to message on other players

🤔...

[castalla]

This gets

I don't know how to set Playername to that setting

While

Mute on Playername

just works

It seems to me that Favourite n and Preset n are not in the vocab of any player EXCEPT Black Radio... which is bizarre. Maybe Black Radio...

[castalla]

Okay.... BUT

Resume on Touch or Stop on Touch, etc

works

It's just the combination of

Favourite n on Touch (and any other player apart from Black Radio) which fails

'I don't know how to set Touch to that setting' is the alexa voice feedback...

[castalla]

Okay.

Here's my setup;

1 squeezebox Radio
1 Touch
1 Homepod Mini via airplay bridge plugin

Only the radio works with 'Alexa favourite 1 on Black radio'

The command used is 'alexa favourite 1 on Touch'

The voice history...

[castalla]

So, I've been trying to get favourites working.

Favourite 1 on Black radio. - this works

Favourite 1 on Homepod mini - this fails with Alexa reporting something like not knowing how to do the action

I get the impression that playing a favourite works on real squeeze...

[castalla]

I've had it for over a year - doesn't have many features compared to the wiim. Few updates. It does have a handy ir remote!...

[castalla]

Thanks for the feedback....

[castalla]

I think the pro exceeds my uses. Do you know if Audible is available as a service?

Amazon. de have it available for 90 euro (and no BREXIT customs to deal with! )

I have an extensive LMS system using the bridge plugins so it should just slot right in....

[castalla]

I might just give the mini a try. I like the small form factor - I have an Arylic 50 which is good but bulky, and the features are sparse compared to the mini....

[castalla]

From reviews I've read, I'm not clear whether the wiim has Bluetooth transmit to earpods, speakers, etc.
Any advice?...
