zBernie 15 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) When I attempt to play a song using Emby via my Alexa devices, it no longer works. The conversation goes as shown below. To address a different issue I was told to remove the DLL files in this directory. The problem seems to have cropped up after this but could just be a coincidence. var/packages/EmbyServer/var/plugins Alexa, open m. b. home Play whisky train by artist Jake Lee on Office Say the number of the player to send this to; Say 1 for this player Alexa 1 Sorry I'm having accessing your Emby skill right now.

Luke 37093 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hi, have you configured ssl for your Emby server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Emby configuration under "Networking" I don't have an SSL certificate if that's what you mean. This was working until I removed those DLL's from the plugins directory. var/packages/EmbyServer/var/plugins which seems suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37093 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 You’re trying to play music on the Alexa directly using Emby? This will not work unless you setup ssl on your server using a certificate that Alexa trusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, this was working fine until about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37093 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 If you want to use Alexa to play to other devices then you don’t need an ssl cert. if you want to use Alexa to play directly on the Alexa device, then you need an ssl cert and no, it’s not new. The Alexa device will only play media URLs that are https. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what changed, this was working last week. Edited July 1, 2023 by zBernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
