![]() ![]() I'm going to try to get my FiL to try this from his house later as well.Īll of the above is great and it works well on Sonos Ones or any Sonos devices with Alexa built in, but for now, the grouped Alexa/Sonos speaker isn't playing the Plex stream, it only comes through the Alexa devices.which in my case is a multiple Dots (plus a Spot, Show, and a few Echo's). This does, however, mean that I will be able to drop Spotify at some point and be able to use Plex for all my streaming needs, in and out of the aning no monthly payment.Īlso, I thought I'd push things a bit and see how many streams I could get from Plex at once and I got to 8 separate streams on different devices before I got bored. ![]() Now I do currently subscribe to Spotify so I am able to just ask for music anyway without the Plex addition pre-empting the artists. I can only assume if your collection isnt well tagged this won't work as well or at all. I am quite anal about my music and everything has been correctly ID3 tagged for years now, with the correct artists, years, track names, genres and so on so this works well for me. Now I have to assume this relies on everything being correctly tagged in your music collection. However, I have today (and I may well be a bit behind on this front) discovered that I CAN access music stored on my Plex server (which is streamed from my NAS at home) by enabling and linking the PLEX skill on Alexa and then asking "Alexa, ask Plex to play."Īlexa, ask Plex to Play Michael Jackson (any music)Īlexa, ask Plex to Play Black or White by Michael Jackson (specific track)Īlexa, ask Plex to Play Thriller album by Michael Jackson (specific album) ![]() This is great and allows the best of both worlds BUT we aren't able to play more than a couple of those services with voice alone (Spotify, Deezer and Amazon Music).įor ALL other services, we are limited to using the Sonos app/software in order to access this music. Obviously, up till now, the only way to play music on our Sonos devices has been using many of the paid for streaming services OR playing music from our own music libraries. Well, I'm starting to get somewhere on having non-streaming services work on my Sonos One (and other Alexa devices too of course) TL:DR - You can now request a personal music collection by voice from a Plex media server. ![]()
