FireTV does not support AudioPlayer directive

[phreakmonkey]

Works great on Amazon Echo and Amazon Echo Dot. When I attempt to use it on my Amazon FireTV devices I get "The AudioPlayer directive "PlayDirective" is not supported"

I'm not sure if there's some alternative directive that can be used on the FireTV (though Amazon's native music streaming works fine on it, of course.)

It seems we don't split into header/payload. We don't have any of the header information it seems. More reading in the doc link provided above though seems to think that it can take it from the type of object that resolves from the directive section in the JSON, so I don't really know what to think so far.

HALLPPPPP.

Hey @phreakmonkey could you try the @aplocher PR and see if that fixes this issue for you.
