Below is a link to a local installable media service that can give the ability to use Alexa. Voice to control your media and also stream to Alexa devices (similar to dlna). It would be great if Emby could add and app to inter grate with this service or offer similar functionality

Hi, we already support Alexa. What are we missing?

Alexa device like echo dot etc do not show up as dlna devices to cast local media too so from emby you can not play music to Alexa device or local video to echo show etc

A short video describing the functionality of the service

Hi @Luke, hope you are doing well. Was just wondering, are you aware if this feature "direct playback on Alexa" is in your roadmap by any chance and if you can give me an update on that?

Thanks!

HI, yes it is. Stay tuned for a new alexa release coming soon. We are just working getting it through the amazon review process.

Two new projects have been added in OneSky under Emby Server:

• EmbyHome
• EmbyHome-Alexa

These string sets are used for both Google Home and Alexa. If you can help translate those then we can support more languages on those platforms.

Thanks everyone.
