Intelligent Voice Control for Emby

 

The Emby Alexa Skill enables Emby Premiere members to get information about and control playback of their media on any Emby compatible device. Once you have successfully linked your Emby account to Alexa, you can start playing your favorite movies, TV shows and songs on your devices with your voice. Learn all about how to get the skill and set it up on our wiki.

 

The skill is available now for your Amazon Echo device in the US or UK with more regions coming soon.


Install the skill, connect with Emby Connect and start controlling your Emby media with just your voice. Things you can try:

  • "Alexa, ask Emby what's up next"
  • "Alexa, ask Emby to play a horror movie"
  • "Alexa, ask Emby to pause playback"
  • "Alexa, ask Emby to play the party playlist"


The possibilities go on and on. Get the Emby skill for your Echo device now!

Will definitely subscribe to premium if this functionality comes to Google Home, just sayin.

I just made the plunge with Google, so while disappointing, I will eagerly wait for that version!

Congratulations on this milestone -- thank you for all the continued development work!

 

I am also a satisfied Google Home user (and Emby premiere subscriber), and would be very excited to have voice control extend to that platform.

pretty impressive. Invested in Google home at our place as well.

I am an Emby Premiere member and also would like Google Home support added.

When you do Google Home, please make available for us Aussies as well, also will you  be able to make it recognize media names ie: " Hello Google play tv series S.W.A.T Or Movie the dark night"

 

Keep up the awesome work

 

Any ETA on google home compatibility ?

This Canadian will gladly abandon his plexpass he had for years and buy premiere if you all can get the Alexa integration here in Canada.

 

Support at Plex is either extremely rude, or just dismissive.

 

Emby looks great. I'm working with the disabled, so I'm still hunting down a solution as jumping the geofence doesn't work for many of my clients as they either don't have the technical expertise to troubleshoot, or a router level VPN solution won't work for them.

 

Thanks Emby, it looks like I may ditch Plex myself now. Their employees are absolutely abrasive!

 

Cheers from Canada!

I will definitely go premium if you offer Google home support.
