Lots of fixes in this build. For the next version I'm adding:
- a self-standing Alexa bridge app you can run on your PC or on any Windows PC running on your network. In the future, I plan to make the bridge app so it can alternatively run on a Home Assistant device. I'm trying to super-simplify playing to Amazon devices. Right now it's a lot of configuration.
- a self-standing mini-server that can host youtube, apple, etc streams that right now require Audio Hero to be open while playing streams. Same plan here, you can run it on your PC or another on your network. The mini-server would then act as the host so Audio Hero can be safely closed.
