Perhaps a discussion of this issue is in order. If people know that the "orange ring" going out or reverting to Home on a phone cancels the skill, they can adjust their thinking as appropriate. My phone also does about 5 seconds.
The ASK command seems to Open J Talk and leaves it open until it times out. Which means if you do 2 ask commands in a row, the second one errors since J Talk does not know what to do with ASK J Talk. Perhaps ASK should be a one time command that does not leave J Talk open. That's at least how I interrupted it. That is, use Open J Talk to open the skill and keep it open and use ASK J Talk to do a one time command.

I am not sure what Set Volume is doing. It uses a range of 1 to 10, which I would translate to 10% to 100%. However, when increasing the volume, it does not seem to do that. With the volume at 20%, using Set Volume to 10 only changes it to 25%. I would think it would set it to 100%. I am using Internal Volume and Maximum Volume is set to 100%. I can manually set volume to 100%.
EDIT: It looks like Set Volume to 10 actually adds 5% to the current volume, just like Louder.
Higher is not a recognized command.

What's Playing tells you the song that is playing
What Is Playing tells you the current zone rather than the song, I guess because What Zone Is Playing gives you the zone. It seems like if the word Zone is not present, it should tell you the song, not the zone.

Thanks for testing.

Long time UK-based J River user here (7+ years). Alexa integration might be the key feature to get me to upgrade this time round. The Alexa skill is still only available in the US Alexa store (see screen shots from the Alexa skill list on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk) so it looks like you pressed the "Certification" process on the developer page and it is now live - just not available in all regions. I think UK English is treated as a different language to US English.
This might help - it talks about .. "you must deploy your AWS Lambda function code to multiple AWS regions" https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smarthome/develop-smart-home-skills-in-multiple-languages.html
Hope you can get a wider deployment going for testing.

I cannot reproduce this. "set volume to..." sets the volume for me as expected using Internal Volume or Application volume. Are you using some kind of digital output that might be causing unexpected behavior?
