flakie 11 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hello. i have a new user to emby. They are not the brightest and I have zero knowledge of Amazon Devices (and am happy this way). I think they have an Amazon Alexa speaker, maybe an echo,. They want to connect this to Emby. Do they need to have an emby connect account? if so I need to know no more. I am not interested in setting up anything but a direct connection to my server. If it does not need connect I will look into it further for them, else I will tell them its not possible and try to talk them into getting a chromecast. Cheers.

Solution Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 29, 2019 Solution Share Posted July 29, 2019 Emby connect is indeed required at this time. This may change in the future for various reasons. The reason is these devices need a secure connection to complete the account linking process and Emby connect is the only way to guarantee this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakie 11 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 OK thanks. I will tell them not possible at this time. Not sure why they want to use a little echo device when they have a perfectly good hi-fi system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaTV 4 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I use an Amazon Tap (rechargable) to be able to move around the house and yard with music on Emby. It's great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
