PlexUser128 1 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 This would be a big deal for emby if it could be accomplished. I'd prefer to be able to access and watch my media server on my echo show, has this been tested and implemented yet? It's been over a year. How can we move this along? I can do testing, let me know what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I am pretty sure that Amazon does not want the competition to their pay for Prime service. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlexUser128 1 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Regardless, Emby could integrate their api into the skill and provide full server access on the echo show. There are already other skills which have similar atttributes available. For example, CBSN skill streams free live streaming content to the echo show, as do many others already, like Watch TV with Stream Player or My Media skills. Neither requires prime, or cable subsc.. It's only a matter of time until this avenue opens up on the show. Maybe emby doesn't have the vision or talent to do this, maybe plex will beat them to it. I'm just saying, it would be great to have this available. Edited November 2, 2019 by xfectivus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the options you listed above are streaming content to all users from a single source. That is how devices like the Echo Show are designed but that is not how Emby works. We stream content to people from their own (many times local) source. That is not what the device is designed to do so it becomes a bit of a harder nut to crack. Thanks.

Sammy 735 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Oddly I had a browser window show on my Echo Show the other day with the login to an internal web GUI device showing. I couldn't log in even though I tried as I couldn't figure out how to get a keyboard to type in the credentials. Could a local Emby Server be run through a browser window on the Echo Show? It is a novel idea as the Echo Show at our house is in the kitchen which overlooks the Family Room and that is where to watch TV.. Others may not have this scenario though.

ebr 14897 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 It also requires a working https setup on the server so, until that becomes more automatic and easier to do (we're working on it) this will probably wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlexUser128 1 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Go to Echo Show>Settings>Device Options>Web Options. Choose a Web Browser Have Echo Show open chosen web-browser Type in your In-Home (LAN) access: address (Make sure the Echo Show is on the same network as the server) I was able to load access to the web-interface and watch my content. I haven't used the voice controls or attempted to play music to my everywhere group yet, will update if that all works.

Sammy 735 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Works great although a few clicks to get there. I didn't realize there was a browser built-in to the Echo Show. I'm going to try starting it by speech now. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
