Kingsview 0 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have been successfully using Emby (without Premier) for my home music collection, streamed from my PC to Fire TV and then to AVR. I just paid the unlocking fee for Fire TV and have the confirmation from Amazon. Alexa finds my server OK but tells me it isn't Premier enabled. Isn't the unlock supposed to make voice control work? I have unlinked and relinked the skill, discovered devices and I still get that message. Is there something else I need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Hi. The unlock only unlocks playback for that app. It does not give you the other Premiere features. Alexa support is a Premiere feature. Feature Matrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsview 0 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thanks ebr. I have seen that matrix before. So the fact that I have been able to play music streamed through the Fire TV for several months should not have worked? Or is it because music is OK but video is not? Someone told me that video would be different. Now that it is unlocked do I have any benefit I did not have before? And sorry for the Alex (missing "a") in the title .... I couldn't see an edit option after posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsview 0 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 I could play the music before I unlocked it. I have been doing so since last year. So what else has it given me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Exactly how were you playing music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsview 0 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 My music collection and Emby server are on the same PC. My Fire TV 4K Max is connected to the PC via wifi, and is connected into my Denon AVR HDMI. So, using the Fire TV remote, and the installed Emby app, I control the playback selection with my remote. This works fine. So, now that I have the Alexa skill unlocked I have not seen any change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hi. The unlock is not related to Alexa. It is an unlock for the app. Alexa support is a Premiere only feature. Unlocking the app and Premiere are two totally separate feature sets (as shown in the matrix above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsview 0 Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 OK thanks. It just seems surprisingly that getting it unlocked made absolutely no difference. But, I will accept that and move on. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
