It also doesn’t support playback of media from some Plex devices, including LG Smart TVs, Xbox 360 and Xbox One players, but that’s expected to change in time. For starters, it can’t actually play your music directly on an Amazon Echo speaker, Amazon Tap, or Echo Dot yet – but the company says it’s hoping to make that possible in the future. This is the company’s first step into home automation, and, as of launch, there are still a few limitations. The Skill can also be used to play music from your media collection, if you use Plex to organize more than just your videos.

That means you can ask Alexa via your connected Echo speaker, Fire tablet or Fire TV to play your favorite content from your Plex media library, without having to use a remote control.įor example, you could say, “Alexa, ask Plex to play ‘The Big Lebowski,'” or ask her “What’s on Deck,” or even have Alexa recommend something to watch, through the new voice feature. The popular media player software maker just launched voice control through a new Plex Skill for Alexa-powered devices.
