To get audio to emanate from the Echo itself, it needs to be pointed at a URL to grab the audio stream from. The only way to do that from LMS is via /stream.mp3. An Echo can handle any audio encoding you throw at it, but LMS only streams mp3 so transcoding is indeed required on the LMS end for e.g. OGG radio streams. This reminds me of when @chill first used the skill with pCP, his install was missing LAME for some reason and he also had no sound until he remedied that omission. I'll bet that's the issue here too good suggestion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016
