Autocode free limit not enough for Alexa Radio and Alexa Video
The excellent self-build skills https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio and https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video use Autocode. Unfortunately, Autocode's free service of 1000 requests doesn't last very long, a matter of days. To upgrade it's $20/month, which isn't worth it for me. Anybody clever enough to know of a free Autocode alternative and re-write the code?

When Alexa won't stop, use sleep
I mostly use three skills to play radio and watch TV. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09RKCN3CN, https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio, https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video. I tried calling stations with other better known apps, station starts playing but it still wouldn't stop.

Possible to extend bluetooth vinyl player to group?
Looks like one can't use https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio as it's a local http address. You can use a gist to convert a WAN address from http to https but not a LAN address. If anybody knows a way, please post?

Why do some Alexa devices work to play a local radio station and not others?
Or build your own, https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio, and add the stream url's you can find on https://www.radio-browser.info/search?page=1&order=clickcount&reverse=true&hidebroken=true&name=maine. As always, easier to use routines.

How to play BBC World Service Live on Echo (in USA, if it matters)
As an alternative to Tunein, just in case. Build your own skill, https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio, and add this stream, https://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_world_service.
- Disable TuneIn „prefix“

Broadcast news feed to multi-room setup?
I don't know how to hand-off to another echo. What I do is start playing something on a speaker group then shout out the news station I want to listen to. Unfortunately, the speaker group can only do audio, not video. So although I can play video (BBC, CNN, Sky, etc.) using the video skill, https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video, on a single Echo Show, I have to ask the radio skill, https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio, to play the TV channel to get audio playing on all the devices (echos and dots) in the rooms I will be in.

Replacing an FM Radio with an Alexa Device - Questions
You have to install https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio as your own radio skill. Get your mug of tea and read it slowly, will take you 20mins max. Very good instructions. Then add the stream and label it "W FAN" or whatever you desire. So you shout, "Alexa, ask radio to play W FAN". I've just done it and it works fine. It is geo-blocked but I use a smartdns on my router. As suggested, use a routine to call it, "Alexa, play W FAN".

Play a Custom MP3 in Routine?
You can build your own skill, https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio, and create a 'station' with the https url of the mp3.

What skill/app will allow me to listen to Canadian campus radio?
At the bottom of https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio note the message about having to use gists with http links. I just used a gist for the CJSR http link, https://www.radio-browser.info/#/history/961a1782-0601-11e8-ae97-52543be04c81, and it worked fine.

Possible to extend bluetooth vinyl player to group?
I took your idea but did it differently. After installing https://www.streamwhatyouhear.com/download/ I downloaded the zip from https://github.com/1Panic/AlexaPcStreaming. Unzipped and replaced the installed SWYH files with these ones and checked off the options as stated so that the PC stream always uses port 80. Make sure SWYH is not running before copying the files over. Played something on the PC and SWYH gave me two streams, one of which was the PC's ip address. Added that address to a custom station, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MQ7LFCT and Bob's your uncle. I did try My Media but couldn't get it working, so doing it this way saves me some pennies as well as giving me a working solution.
