Bill, Sonos is looking at this. Weirdly, it works great on my Echo. It works on the Sonos One if I say "Alexa, play Radio Paradise on TuneIn" Anything you could do would be great! As I replied to another post, Tunein works because it’s a core echo skill, not a third party add on skill. Sonos is only ‘Alexa enabled’ and like similar devices doesn’t support third party audio, plus core echo functions like calling&messaging, echo multi room audio (I.e. you can’t mix Sonos and echo devices in the same multi room audio group) etc. There’s no sign i’ve seen of this changing in the near future

I take a different view on this - it isn’t that anything is broken as such, it’s just that Amazon don’t support the same features on ‘Alexa enabled’ devices (including some of their own hardware like fire tv etc) than they do on true blue echo hardware. That's why you don’t have Alexa calling&messaging, echo multi room support etc on Sonos and other third party devices - they’re not echoes. The Radio Paradise skill is not alone on this - even the recently released BBC skill here in the UK suffers the same constraints, and i’d Imagine they have slightly bigger clout, with no disrespect to RP. The ‘problem’ will only go away when Amazon release the necessary APIs to third parties and there’s no sign of that happening anytime soon - for one thing, a fully fledged echo compatible Sonos Play One could potentially have a negative impact on the sale of Amazon’s own hardware.

I do know that our skill is only one of many popular skills that aren't working, so hopefully they're actively working on a fix. Bugging their tech support & posting in their forum certainly can't hurt.

How are you starting RP? "Alexa, play Radio Paradise" is the best bet.

Bill, Sonos is looking at this. Weirdly, it works great on my Echo. It works on the Sonos One if I say "Alexa, play Radio Paradise on TuneIn" Anything you could do would be great! Weird behavior on the Echo Show: I have one at my home, and it refuses to play RP for the past week (Alexa: "Sorry, I'm having trouble accessing your Radio Paradise skill right now"). A friend has one at her house, and RP plays consistently. We are logged into her Amazon account on both devices. Possibility of conflicting usage? I dunno, but it seems like we've both used it concurrently in the past.

Can someone please buy one for Bill so he can figure it out :) I have escalated this with Sonos. Let’s see if they can fix. It seems possibly to be because there are several stations called Radio Paradise.

No matter how I say it, "everywhere" will only work using TuneIn. Not a fan of listening to RP on TuneIn because things start to get spotty after a while with a lot of drop out.
Any ideas on how to fix and get the skill to utilize the everywhere feature? . . And a second question - does listening on 4 devices at once count towards the "listeners per hour" meter and cost RP more in fees?
I'm pretty sure the "everywhere" feature only works on certain apps. I'll check with our Alexa developer to see what can be done with that. If you're using the "everywhere" feature on TuneIn, that'll count as just one listener. If you're playing RP via our skill on multiple devices it will also only count as one listener if they're all linked to the same RP account.

Same for me. I got a new Sonos One last week and was excited to start using the RP skill, but so far i have not been able to get it to work. When I ask Alexa to "play radio paradise" she says there is a problem with that skill. When i ask her to "start stream on radio paradise" I get the welcome but no music edbollix wrote:Restarted everything, disabled and reinstall the skill, Alexa says "welcome to radio paradise" and nothing but silence.
