#
# 2021-01-28: v0.17c (for updates see http://blog.loetzimmer.de/2017/10/amazon-alexa-hort-auf-die-shell-echo.html)
# 2021-09-02: v0.17d includes fixes for playing tunein (base64 required)
#
# !!! THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION !!!
#
#  Due to JQ being widely available across platforms there is no need to expose oneself to the hacks
#  required when parsing JSON with BASH.
#
###
#
# (no BASHisms were used, should run with any shell)
# - requires cURL for web communication
# - (GNU) sed and awk for extraction
# - base64 for B64 encoding (make sure "-w 0" option is available on your platform)
# - oathtool as OATH one-time password tool (optional for two-factor authentication)
