Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Radio stations? No. As far as I am aware, the only way to retrieve a channel atm is by it's name. So you'd say tune in channel Fox, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddahKat 17 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I haven't been able to get this to work... I can get the skill to recognize the TV channel names now (had to use 'Begin m.b. home' first and then the 'tune in' command), however it doesn't play the channel and just says "I'm having trouble accessing the Emby skill". If I give another command to play a show or movie immediately after though it plays fine (well, sorta fine... as long as it can recognize the title name which is hit or miss), so it's not a skill connection. Seems to be a live TV channel issue. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) @@BuddahKat Can you tell me what you said, the time it happened and your default language? Thanks. Edited April 7, 2019 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddahKat 17 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 My defaul language is English. I said "Beging m. b. home", which starts the skill (Alexa says '"Emby here...") Then I said "Tune in channel ESPN". I have two ESPN channels (ESPN and ESPN2), so Alexa asks which one I want, 1 or 2. I say "1" and then she says "Sorry, I'm having trouble accessing the Emby skill right now". I've tried other channels and get the same response.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 When did you try? So I can find your request and see the issue. Or are you able to do another attempt right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddahKat 17 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Sorry for the delay. I just tried again (7:59 PM Mountain Time, USA) Same command as last time ('start m. b. home', 'tune in channel ESPN)', and I got the same result ('sorry, I'm having trouble accessing the Emby skill right now') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Ok checking the log. Give me a few. edit: i see the error. I’ll let you know when to retest in a bit. Edited April 11, 2019 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Does it make a difference if instead of tune in, you say play the channel ESPN? Edited April 11, 2019 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddahKat 17 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) I tried with 'Play' instead of 'Tune', I dont get the 'can't connect to Emby skill error' but it doesn't recognize the channel, it just either try's to match it to another one of my media titles (incorrectly), or says 'Anything else?' and stops. I just tried a bunch of different channels and commands if you want to take a look. Thanks for your help!

Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Ok thank you for reporting this. I have to update the model.

BuddahKat 17 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Ok sounds good. Thanks for looking into it, let me know if you need me to test it out again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl94x4 14 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'm interested in this but I have a question before trying to set it all up. I would like to know if this would help me in my scenario below; I have an Nvidia Shield with Emby on, I would like to say things like Alexa play The Grand Tour Season 3 Episode 4 on Nvidia Shield... and it automatically put that on, I have the harmony remote so as soon as my nvidia shield is powered on my TV comes on automatically, voice commands seem really easy without a remote.

BuddahKat 17 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 @Angelblue05 - just got a notification on this thread and thought i'd check in, were you ever able to get Alexa to tune to TV channels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 You can just post directly in here without pinging angelblue05. We have a new developer who is in process of getting ramped up and will be working on alexa and google home. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n7of9 2 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 "I can't reach your emby server right now". I have disabled and re-enabled the skill, and it finds my emby server when linking the skill and account, but Alexa can't DO anything, not even open emby ME - ask emby what's next ALEXA - ok here's emby...i can't reach your emby server right now..."

Luke 36887 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi, have you setup your emby server with remote access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n7of9 2 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Sorry for my late reply. I changed remote port and disabled/re-enabled the skill. Alexa can now see the server and (sometimes) tell me what's next or what's new. She even asks what player I want to watch on, but doesn't actually play anything. Nevermind though, it's not a must-have and I won't have much time to play with everything properly and figure it out until Xmas break.

raudraido 43 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 For me Alexa can say what are my latest movies etc in Emby. When I want to play something then Alexa will ask where to play my request and after that it tells that Alexa is having trouble to access Emby skill right now..?
