Asking Emby to play something specific?

[hstamas 179]

Asking Emby to play a specific episode of a TV show results and Alexa adding the whole show to Emby favorites. Is this expected behavior or should actually start playing the requested show?

As always, can you please discuss an example? thanks.

Yes a specific example would be appreciated. Including what you said and what Alexa think you said. If you don't know how to check your history, check the pinned How to post in this forum.

ME: "Alexa, tell/ask Emby to play season 2, episode 4 of Parks & Recreation"

 

Alexa: "OK. Adding Parks & Recreation to your favorites" (which she does - the entire series node is added). Nothing actually starts playing.

 

Alexa history indicates that Emby heard the request correctly.

Ok, I will test it out. What about play parks and recreation, season 2, episode 4. That works?

Still just adds the entire show to favorites.

Ok, I'm working on it. Thanks for reporting this.
