Issue: Alexa Fails to Play Audiobook via Skill

Description

Thank you for creating this skill! I have been looking forward to such functionality for a long time. However, Alexa cannot play my audiobook. Instead, she responds with the following message:

"There was a problem with the requested skill response."

I have reviewed the server logs, which I am including below for your reference.

I changed all confidential information to [redacted] just in case 😊

The link to the RSS channel is generated, then the link to the chapter is generated. I checked this, opened the links through the browser. All mp3 files created for Alexa were easily opened and played in the browser.

Audiobookshelf had some API changes that broke ABS-Alexa, plus I had an error with handling float values. I've corrected those issues. Try giving it another shot.

It almost looks like the Alexa Session is ending prematurely -- I've added extra logging to print the "reason" for termination if it continues to happen.

Everything works. Thank you so much ❤️🔥

Thanks to your project my dream came true and I can listen to my audiobooks from my raspberry pi 4 on Alexa 😍

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it's working for you. I hadn't heard from anyone else if they had gotten it to work or not, so it's nice to hear that someone else is getting some use out of it as well
