Skill won’t play until I say “Alexa unpause” #105

So a little backstory - had skill set up, worked perfectly, but it took several months for Amazon to approve because they didn’t want to recognize we had the rights to stream what we were streaming. So, I’ve not messed with any of the code in months. I didn’t even test it since it was already working...

I finally got it approved and went to do the first test live. It will say the introductory phrase, but then not play anything until I say “Alexa unpause”. I can’t pinpoint exactly when this behavior began, but like I said it worked perfectly for a long time after my last code tinkering. So it’s nothing I did to the code. The only change would be the approval process. Don’t know why that would affect it.

The skill is “Faith and Friends Radio”. Any thoughts on what is going on?

Hello,

" Alexa unpause" is not an Alexa audio streaming utterance and I have no idea what Alexa is understanding when telling her that. To debug your issue I would need your failed utterance ID. This is available in the URL of your browser when navigating to alexa.amazon.com (or .co.uk or .de) => Settings => History => click on the specific utterance in the history => send me the ID at the end of the URL.

Thanks
