staresy pointed out that on large collections of nested favorites, the numbering in LMS-lite (Python) did not match that of MediaServer (nodeJS). He kindly gave me his favorites.opml file to test with and now the updated LMS-lite has a 1:1 equivalence with MS. If you were accessing nested favorites...

Time to delete all the LMS_related devices from the Alexa app and then do a clean discovery. She will say nothing new found because if she ever in the past knew a device she will remember it and therefore it's not new. But the current devices will show up nevertheless.

What was the exact command you used...

staresy had an idea for a feature that I've added and which is now live. When including a player in an Alexa Routine, there's now a Sleep After option with a a slider to select from 1-120 minutes. You'll need to ask Alexa to discover devices for the new capability to be picked up. She'll tell you no...
