Hi,

I am having issues with Playlists, specifically getting Alexa to recognize and play a playlist. 

I am moving from Plex to Emby.

I exported a playlist from Plex using a tool called Webtools-NG, I then modified the file to be a normal playlist with .m3u extension

I tested it in Itunes and Vox, both played successfully.

I then moved the file to the proper playlist folder location that is on my NAS. Scanned the music folder. Example; /shares/Music/Playlist/Playlist_filename

I went into Emby, saw the playlist, clicked play and the playlist played

I went to Amazon Echo Dot and spoke the following; Alexa, ask MB Home to play playlist Chill Mix

Alexa replied, the requested media is not in the Library.

Alexa plays individual songs ok

Alexa plays songs by artists ok

Alexa plays albums ok

Alexa will not play a playlist.

It doesnt matter if I create the playlist in Emby or I create the playlist outside of Emby, Alexa does not see it. 

I have checked that the Amazon emby skill logs in the same way I created the playlist inside of Emby.

 

There is my story. I hope this gives you a clear picture of my struggles and assist you in finding a solution.

Thank you,

 

Marvin
