mskenny 7 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If I understand how this works now, it seems like I have to choose some device in my house to play my Emby content through. I can't just have Emby play music through my Echo Dot or through an Echo or Echo Show if I had one. Is that correct? Will this be implemented? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 That is correct. We would like to allow that but there are a number of technical challenges to doing it that must be overcome first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You can use this https://www.mymediaalexa.com/ in the meantime, not ideal but works fine for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibest 26 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Old post I know but is this still correct as of today? If so is the feature still in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yes, it is still a planned feature. I'll be working on updating the Alexa skill very soon and will look to add this feature. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGMayor 88 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Motivation? The Plex skill for Alexa has been updated to improve the way you listen to your music library by including support for Artist, Time Travel, and Library radio stations*, recently introduced in Plexamp. That’s right, make your very own radio stations out of your very own music collection! Library radio plays popular songs from artists throughout your entire music library. Time Travel radio starts with the earliest released music and works forward. And our all-new Artist radio plays tracks inspired by your favorite artists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It's something we'd like to add in the future. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popy 61 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 +99999 i am missing such a feature so badly. Thats so bad from Amazon not to include play music over UPNP, DLNA, any windows/linux file share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptcmarkos 0 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Following this as well, deciding whether to go Alexa or Google Home. If i'm going to invest in any of these it has to be a target for music playback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgileHumor 123 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I love Emby as my server. My mom/dad use Emby Apps (Theater) too and works great. At home, I need a little more than Emby theater (like Screen pops for security camera's) that Kodi providers. Also, there is a Kodi skill too. Kodi for Emby is more complex, but might be what your looking for. If you do go that route, Koko can help stream your Kodi music library to Alexa: https://lexigr.am/docs/what-is-koko.html Kanzi is the "Alexa to Kodi TV skill", but much harder to setup than Emby's cloud approach, but this is the other module: https://lexigr.am/docs/what-is-kanzi.html I haven't been able to play with Emby skill much. 98% of the time is says "this skill is no longer available" (even when enabled/linked on my account)...today included.

I have asked support about this issue. I was told that you should do disable the skill and then redownload the skill from the store. They said if this happens, it indicates it's still looking at the suppressed skill somehow. Edited December 14, 2018 by Angelblue05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the URL of the old skill? I disabled all of them, but still gives that error when I say "alexa, open emby". I've waited a day before re-enabling, same issue. I think I tried the early version of the skill, and it's been "ghosting me" ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) The old skill doesn't exist. There's no link to it because it was removed completely. Are you able to confirm she hears emby home in your history? Sorry, they were not very helpful in the dev forums, have you tried to contact support? http://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#cards More info the better, I will open a new post for your situation, because this cannot stand.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Maybe I can invite you to beta? PM your amazon email, I'll add you right now. Maybe that will help somehow?
