Bug report: DTNS + Amazon Echo Flash Briefing: DTNS doesn’t play or cancels Briefing sequence entirely on mobile!
DTNS is 3rd in my Flash Briefing (after Weather & Bloomber Firstword). On my Android Alexa app (using mobile data), DTNS fails to load/play 100% of the time effectively canceling the remaining Flash Briefing. (The opportunity to hit “skip” is like trying to hit “F1 to enter BIOS”…)
On Echo, occasionally(~25%) there’s an extended delay before DTNS loads or fails to play entirely. If I wait long enough but ask Alexa to “skip” before timeout ~30 seconfs she will, or the sequence stops.

My only guess is if you’re track starts with several seconds of silence, it causes a problem where other tracks play music from T:0:00.00.
I discovered you through Alexa and really enjoyed the roundtable podcast I listened to. For now I’ll have to live you to the last segment of my Flash Briefing. Hope this report is helpful.
Hi Steven,, thanks for the report. We’re having a hard time replicating the problem, so any more info is helpful such as if it’s always one host that has the issue etc.
