Angelblue05 4131 Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Version 1.1 Fixes: Playback on the Alexa enabled device, it should also correctly report playback on your dashboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4131 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Changes: Added support to dynamically retrieve the server address from emby connect. You will need to disable/re-enable the skill to support this. Useful if you have a dynamic ip but no dns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnaps 4 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 So, this is still not working, correct? I've tried removing the skill and adding it back. I'm still getting "Sorry the Emby skill is no longer available." I am also using the new invocation of "m.b. home". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old skill was suppressed in favor of the new one, but you have to get that new version and enable it. Keep me posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only one that comes up and it even references "m.b. home" in the description. This is the link to the skill I am using... https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#skills/dp/B07F8VC9F9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4131 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Thanks for letting me know. It tells me the skill is live too. Are you able to check your history to confirm Alexa did correctly hear you say m. b. home and not something else? Edit: I also see requests coming in live atm so no, the skill is definitely active. Edit2: If Alexa hears you say Emby, then that's another story. Let me know if that is the case so I can contact Alexa support to see what's going on with that.

Edit2: If Alexa hears you say Emby, then that's another story. Let me know if that is the case so I can contact Alexa support to see what's going on with that. Well, a few things... it works for me now, sort of. If I say "Alexa, open m.b. home", is works then and I can continue with other commands. If, though, I start off with "Alexa, ask m. b. home what's next" , I still get the "Sorry the Emby skill is no longer available." As for my history, that part is strange for me. I wanted to check the Alexa service is hearing me correctly. I only see the successful requests listed, though, like when it works. As for all the failed attempts, I don't see any of that history at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4131 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks for the update. I will contact Alexa support. I have no control over starting phrases, something must be wrong with it where it's trying to invoke the suppressed skill or something. Really weird, anyway. I'll reply here once I have an answer. It may take a bit, their support is a bit slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4131 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 I have not received a reply yet. Thanks for letting me know. I am on dev and don't have this problem. Also in your screenshot, she heard n. b. home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in your screenshot, she heard n. b. home? Apparently that's what she heard. That's what I get when I use 'Ask'. If I say 'Begin' she hears m.b. home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maajort94 1 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Any movement on this? It's really annoying it doesn't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 38301 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Any movement on this? It's really annoying it doesn't work. Hi there @@maajort94, can you please describe the problem that you're having? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4131 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Any movement on this? It's really annoying it doesn't work. It sounds like the user hasn't disabled the old version of your skill. If they go to their Skills list in the Alexa app, and select the now-suppressed skill, clicking to disable the skill should fix this. Then, they should be able to enable the correct skill Please let me know if that works or not. Edited November 6, 2018 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaky 131 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I have just completed the first pass over Emby-Home Shared for spanish. Also noticed there is no Spanish slot for Emby-Home/Alexa. I would be willing to give it a shot once it is available. Help translate If you want to translate the project, you'll find it hosted on our OneSky translation app. If you have any questions, send me a message. These are public projects, so create an account if you don't have one and start translating here: alexa, internal strings Edited November 15, 2018 by Smaky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevedawg85 2 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 so do I have to enable my emby to be viewable over the web? I tried asking Alexa, and it tells me it can't connect to server blah blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettM 7 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hi All, Is there a list of commands that work with Alexa that we can use? for example if I want to play a movie from a certain category how would we do it or can we just ask it to play a certain movie ?

Angelblue05 4131 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Did you miss the wiki posted right above yours? It includes a list of commands. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Alexa#media-playback What do you mean by category? play {title} or play the movie {title}.

BuddahKat 17 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Is it possible (or if not, then planned) to use voice commands to navigate to Live TV channels? I saw on the wiki a command for 'tune in channel {name}' but it seems to be referring to radio stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
