My favorite station "Mellow Mix" interactive has not been working correctly here for perhaps two weeks.
I'm in Europe and I'm listening to the interactive stream via the Lyrion Media Server plugin, which allows forward jumps.
It seems to have started with a random picture gallery instead of the album covers. Very strange.
Since that stopped, the covers are no longer in sync with the songs being played.
I can also no longer skip to the next track, instead the current one is repeated again and again while the cover art changes until a banner is played. The non-interactive stream also shows this problem. All non-flac Mellow Mix streams and and all others seem to work properly.
Is it just me who has the problem? Otherwise, I would be grateful for a remedy.

Exactly the same problem, same stream and player, here in England. Maybe 10 days or more now. Only solution is to skip forward to the RP banner, then things settle down.

The Mellow Mix streams seem to be "time travelling" at the moment, in that songs that play in Kodi play on the website several minutes later. So the relevant metadata is not available yet. Hope that this can be fixed..

To the tech staff: album art and music info is out of sync on the Volumio player.

Unlistenable on anything except 'My Mix"

Short version - skipping, pausing and just stopping.
Have run via 2 different ISPs (home and work) and via Cellular, no change.
Don't understand why 'My Mix" (used to be 'My Favorites') still works OK tho?
Happy to help troubleshoot if anyone on the team wants to PM me?

And yep, based in NZ, as per some of the others with a similar issue

<edit> Using all via the web interface

Try disabling our skill (Alexa, disable Radio Paradise).

RP will still play, but via TuneIn rather than our skill. Unless you use our skip feature often, thatâll probably be the better experience.

Amazon makes it pretty much impossible for a small company like ours to create skills that equal the functionality of the âbig techâ apps.

Will do; thank you, William! (for this advice, and all you do)

Weâre working on a way to upgrade our service in Australia. Currently listeners in AU & NZ are connected to our server in Singapore. Sometimes that works just fine, sometimes not. We want it to *always* work! That definitely remains our goal.

Ok, cool. I was thinking about posting a problem I have when I listen on my Samsung phone: at home, on wireless using the app or website. It will play for a few minutes then stop. The pause button still shows so it acts like it is playing except for no music. Generally doesn't come back until I close and reopen. I was trying to figure out if it was some weird phone setting before posting but maybe it's an issue in Singapore, lah.

On the bright side Sonos has been pretty reliable recently, even flac.

I have a problem with the Alexa (Echo) Dot 5 auto-restarting the stream about once an hour. I do not have the problem on the Dot 4. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. I am about to throw out my Dot 5s and buy all Dot 4s, but thought I'd check here first to see if this is a known issue.

Steps
1. The device is playing RP,
2. I say "Alexa, Pause" - With the Dot 4, it stops here.
3. 30-60-minutes later the device starts playing RP unbidden
4. I say "Alexa, shut the hell up!" and it stops for another 30-60 minutes
5. Randomly starts playing again.

Just listening to the Main Mix at 12:38 PDT on Sept 11. Talking Heads, Wild Wild Life was playing. Song was cut-off about 2/3 through with the RP Main Mix promo follow by GoGo Penguin Ascent. This has been happening frequently. Sometimes it's a song that is cut short with a cut in or sometimes it is William discussing an artist or song and the promo cuts in.

Just found the tricky little bug causing this. Shouldnât happen again.

The app had been removed from the Windows store to degree it could be. It didn't show up when searching for it in the app store or on the Windows website. I was in contact with the developer who contacted Microsoft about making sure it was delisted (there was a hangup with their lack of access to their old developer email). If one searches for the app in Google, Google will still return a listing for it. We couldn't figure out how Google was finding it because for all intents and purposes, it was no longer listed. One of the weird mysteries of Microsoft is that it has popped up again. This is beyond frustrating at this point. Another reason I'm firmly in the Apple camp.

I've sent William a PM with an idea on this.

The Windows app was never an official RP product. It was produced by a third-party company that is no longer in business, and we have no way to remove it from the app store â which we definitely would do, since it's hopelessly out of date and no longer supported. Please don't use it. Our web player is way, way better.
