We're waiting on  amazon for this.
Either they add support to custom skills for speaker groups.  ( we assumed they would do this eventually,  a lot of skills are waiting for this.  )

Or they support gapless playback in their music skills.   ( due to early devices having underpowered  hardware  not sure if/when this will happen )

I must say I really miss using multi speaker playing RP using Tune in as a source. I know the quality isn't as good that way but loved hearing RP all over the house in sync.

When is the RP skill likely to support multi-speaker (group) or is this an Amazon issue allowing it's feature use in the skill?

Ditto here in the UK for the past couple of weeks. Purchased my echo a month ago, so can't speak further back than that. Get the Echo 'Welcome to Radio Paradise', then silence. Was convinced its a timing thing as it seemed to happen at about 2pm uk time both at home and at my girlfriends house then reappear sometime in the afternoon.. However, today nothing when we tuned in mid morning.
Back to Paradise via Streamwriter through either the hifi or Echo via bluetooth. We're both on BT Internet, me through a VPN and girlfriend not - if that makes any difference. Cheers. Graham.

Been patchy all day today, may play temporarily, but most often I just get “welcome to radio paradise” and then silence

For the Alexa skill,  sometimes  disabling and re-enabling the skill can help.

Can do that via voice command.  "Alexa,  disable Radio Paradise"
Then "Alexa,  enable Radio Paradise"


Regarding TuneIn there's an issue with RP being blocked in the UK, secondary streams seem to work for now.
It's likely to be that way for awhile.

Hi.
Alexa says welcome to RP. Then plays nothing. If you say Alexa play RP on Tunein, it plays Mellow Mix. Does same thing on our second Echo, also at our son’s house.
Its our favourite radio station. Hope it starts working again soon. John in Liverpool, UK

For weeks, maybe months, RP (direct) via Alexa on Echo has not been working.  Sometimes one song would play and then stop but mainly it just wouldn't work at all.  It worked well with Radio Paradise on Tune-In but the quality doesn't seem as good and I can't ask Radio Paradise what's playing.

But just today, I noticed it's working direct again!!

Hurray!

Be well

This has been giving me a lot more trouble than usual as well.   Will see what can be done.
I had to unplug and plug it back in to get mine working again yesterday.

I too am having issues getting RP via Alexa in the UK. I used to get it via Tunein, but this now only recognises the Rock Mix or Mellow Mix options, not the main/default version. I have also enabled the RP skill but when I try it on Alexa, I get an alternative and nowhere near as good imposter also called Radio Paradise.

Still not working for me.  A real bummer because I usually listen to RP while cleaning with the Alexa skill.

Is there an issue with the UK receiving RP via Alexa using the RP skill?
I understand Tunein are being wizard sleeves at the moment, but why is the RP app also failing here in the UK?

I miss my daily RP. Please help
 
We sincerely hope that PRS (the UK copyright agency) hasn't requested that our Alexa skill be disabled — like they have with TuneIn — but that's certainly a possibility. 

We'll see what we can find out.
