Sammy 738 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I like the skill, more importantly the opportunities of the skill. I have read the How to use Emby with Alexa Thread but am wondering if more control is possible. I tried Movies and TV but nothing happened. I just want to look at the list of movies on the screen without having to know what's in the list beforehand.. Something like, "Alexa, tell Emby to switch to movies" then "Favorites" and then I can look then select one such as "Play Alien Covenant." Possible? In the works? Already doable but I just don't' know how to do it? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yes. In the FAQ here > navigation: You'd say something like display the library movies. But there's a lot more improvements in beta. I just need to resolve movies with the same titles to allow you to select the version. Navigation You can navigate your interface by saying the movement or action related to what you want to do. The list is quite large, if something is missing, let me know. Alexa, tell Emby to move upAlexa, ask Emby to go homeAlexa, tell Emby to go to the next letterAlexa, start Emby. / Show the context menuDisplay the library {Name}Display Silicon Valley season 2 episode 2Show me the movie Lego Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 738 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 So, "Display the Movie Library" is what I want to say? How to drill down into Favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 No. Because of the way Alexa detects things, you have to say the type (library) before whatever name/title (movies). Otherwise, it will look for the movie named library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 738 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 So.. "Alexa, start Emby" "Alexa, display the Library Movies" "Alexa, display the Library Favorites" (is this one possible?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Try and report back. It's a list of preset words I made, I can adjust it add more terms if Alexa gives difficulty with them. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) You can tell Alexa to jump/seek to a time, jump to +-time or use chapters. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/49740-how-to-use-emby-with-alexa/ Check the playback section Edited October 11, 2017 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 738 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Has the command, "Alexa, tell Emby to go to {Favorites}{NextUp}{Etc}" been incorporated yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
