I guess it depends on what specifically you would like to do. Windows has speech recognition which is actually something separate from [Hey] Cortana. It allows you to navigate and click things in apps, but the app has to be designed in a way that accessibility tools can work. I don't know how well it works with Plex, but I'd guess its not a great experience.

I think the best setup would be either an Amazon Echo or Google Home paired with a Logitech Harmony Hub. The Harmony Hub has a pair of skills that let you control various aspects of your home theater via Alexa or OK Google. Once you teach the Harmony Hub about your HTPC/Plex, TV, A/V receiver, etc its a pretty neat experience.

If you really just want to control only Plex Media Player then an Amazon Echo with the Plex skill might be enough.

I'm working on a pet project -- an Alexa skill for Old Time Radio called Radio Fun Time.

It started out as a simple, private toy to allow my mother-in-law to easily listen to a few of her favorite public domain old time radio shows hosted at Internet Archive...but I kept building on it, and now it's got a sqlite database of over 24,000 programs, caches your current saved-spot to Redis, you can search for shows, ask what's playing, rewind/fast-forward a user-designated number of seconds, ask it for a recommendation from a bunch of different genres (like kids, detective, true crime, etc), and my favorite for exploring what's out there, "Alexa, ask Radio Fun Time to recommend a random program."

Definitely recommend developing Alexa skills as an educational project...you start thinking you're going to write this very basic, simple script very quickly, and the next thing you know...you've gone nutso full-stack...

u/throwaway20180107 · 15 pointsr/Paranormal

> Around Halloween, it would turn on by itself and play this strange medley of growling, children singing, piano music, etc. It was usually at full volume and would turn off on its own. One time I was able to ask, “Alexa, what’s playing right now?” And the response was that it was “Creepy Halloween Sounds.”

Could be a software "easter egg" (a secret feature put in a piece of software just to amuse people), or an app such as this one (I don't have one of these devices so cannot test if the sounds in this app match what you describe), or even just an ordinary sound file playing. Highly unlikely that this is anything paranormal as the sounds described are very cliche.

> I theorized that maybe a neighbor was playing these sounds at their house nearby (on their porch, or for a Halloween party, etc) and that ours somehow picked up the signal.

This is not technically possible with devices of this kind. This kind of thing used to happen with analog radios, two-way radios, wireless microphones or headphones, and so on. Digital systems such as modern cellphones and WiFi and bluetooth devices cannot "interfere" like this.

> The very last incident was a bit different. My grandma passed away around that time. A couple of days after her passing, the Echo turned on (when I was alone) and started playing “Mandy,” by Boston. I had never heard that song before and had never played it on the Echo. My grandma was the only one who called me Mandy.

That could've been your grandmother, if the paranormal is real. These devices are very sensitive and don't require a loud voice, just a clear one (Google Now on an Android phone can actually be triggered with an electrical signal corresponding to a sound volume that would normally be inaudible, if you give it the right signal), so I imagine that it would be quite easy for spirits to talk to the device (similar to an EVP recorder).

u/PabloXPicasso · 2 pointsr/amazonecho

This goes to show how poorly information about skills is made available. There is a skill that does this:

It seems like a no-brainer, and is a problem I worked on (to play iTunes music and watch Kodi movies as well as control your computer) and found a solution, but Amazon would not approve my skill, claiming it promotes piracy. I am assuming this is in reference to Kodi support, which was only selected because it can be scripted (and thereby controlled).

https://www.amazon.com/bizmodeller-My-Media/dp/B06XPP135L/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-skills&ie=UTF8&qid=1498148119&sr=1-1&keywords=my+media

I am not associated with these guys at all. But, it is inexpensive. This does not access your iTunes in the cloud, so you need your MP3's (in non protected format) on your computer, which it will then stream to your Echo. It doesn't even need iTunes.


u/Quixote1111 · 1 pointr/alexa

I hate the idea of paying for a subscription as well. I can't figure out for the life of me why I can't use Spotify on the Echo for free when I can do so on both my phone and my PC. Pretty lame.
This is not exactly what you've requested, BUT, it's the closest thing I've found to making use of the Echo to control my own music collection. I also haven't set this up yet, but I will be in the next couple of months. From what I understand, if you buy "J. River Media Center" and install the "House Band" Alexa skill (https://www.amazon.com/Philosophical-Creations-House-Band/dp/B01ATZM6N4), you can tell Alexa to play anything from your library as well as control playback over any of your zones. The downside is that I don't think it'll stream over your Echo device. The Echo is used only for control and you need to have a PC running your media player, hooked up to an amp or some other sound system like a Sonos speaker. J. River sells media devices that are essentially power-efficient mini computers with their software installed and a hard drive to store music if you don't like the idea of running a media PC all the time. Good luck!

u/PG_VoiceFirst · 1 pointr/sonos

Yes, it's possible.
I've recently created the Alexa skill that allows you to stream your own music, audio books or anything else in MP3 format from your Google Drive.
I were aiming for creating a streaming solution to play audio books. But as I said with that skill you can stream anything in the MP3.

This is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y8B87HC

Please let me know if you need any help.

u/mhaaland · 1 pointr/Piracy

Yes, You need to enable the skill and link your Plex account.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBB1INY

Example: Alexa ask plex to play "More than a feeling" .... Alexa responds with "Playing More than a feeling by Boston"

You can also create Playlist and have ask to play them.

u/blacbloc77 · 2 pointsr/htpc

Yeah, it looks OK. I'm not crazy about having to stand-up (yet another) server port on my HTPC box, but meh... Would be really nice if the folks at Plex would build something native for Alexa or Google Home, but I'm not counting on that!

EDIT: Looks like Alexa has a Plex Skill.

Nature Sounds will put you at peace and help you to sleep, relax, meditate, relieve stress, or block out unwanted noises. It will rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit. Nature Sounds are perfect musical accompaniment for meditation, yoga, healing and complete mind and body relaxation

u/skbubba · 2 pointsr/amazonecho

Take a look at the House Band skill for JRiver Media Server. Requires JRiver, about $50 US (free trial available), but well worth it and highly recommended.

u/moronmonday526 · 2 pointsr/alexa

"Alexa, play W Z I D on TuneIn" just worked perfectly for me first try. Also, I found an Alexa skill specifically for this station (although 2 people think it sucks).

https://www.amazon.com/Saga-Communications-95-7-WZID/dp/B072KHYGJZ

u/MordaciousOne · 3 pointsr/amazonecho

A friend and I made a skill on a whim a couple weekends ago. You can stream classic MLB baseball games from 1934-1973 through your echo. We've been enjoying it in the office as background noise while we work. You can enable it here.

u/alexonline · 1 pointr/alexa

It’s working this morning! I received an official email from Amazon’s PR agency about Apple Music on Alexa in Australia and it’s working at long last!

The app still showed no Apple Music icon in then settings, but the press release had a link to the skill which I then enabled:

https://www.amazon.com.au/Apple-Inc-Music/dp/B07LCQ5JT7

It will presumably be in the Skills section of the Alexa app too

Happy Apple Music listening on your Alexa devices!

u/SnapchatMeThatPosey · 17 pointsr/baseball

Amazon Echo has a skill called Background Baseball which is very similar and is absolutely awesome to listen to when doing chores around the house.

u/controlmypad · 8 pointsr/cade

If you have an Alexa device, check out the Arcade Party skill which will make the room sound like a busy arcade.

​

u/sarkonovich · 1 pointr/amazonecho

This is definitely not a solution if you are looking to control streaming content through Sonos. But if you are looking to control your local music collection:

https://www.amazon.com/Philosophical-Creations-House-Band/dp/B01ATZM6N4/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-skills&ie=UTF8&qid=1480192306&sr=1-1&keywords=house+band

u/simsarah · 2 pointsr/amazonecho

Yeah, I avoid those with my dog too, he's not a fan either!
There's about 20 different loops, only a few with thunder.

Here's a link to the list - Thunderstorm and Distant Thunderstorm are the only ones I know that have thunder in them. City, which I like a lot (we moved to the 'burbs from Brooklyn, this actually helped US sleep) does have an occasional dog bark too, FYI.

u/Honkycatt · 6 pointsr/amazonecho

Open the app on your phone and see what app it opened to do it. When I did it, it opened this one, which notes that you can specify a duration, like “Alexa, play white noise for three hours.”

u/jcumb3r · 2 pointsr/amazonecho

I pay for “white noise” premium (link) which is a competing skill. After playing with 5-6 apps and trying to find one that would seamlessly loop pink noise for 8+ hours for free, I gave up and paid.

The white noise skill does a bunch of other sounds too. I could admittedly buy a white noise machine for the cost of what it’ll run me over 12-18 months... but that’s one more think on the bedside table. ~$2 a month is worth if for me.

Sleep & Relaxation Sounds. (Alexa, open Sleep Sounds)

u/slaydove · 1 pointr/amazonecho

House Band skill + JRiver Media Center(not free) does this:

https://www.amazon.com/Philosophical-Creations-House-Band/dp/B01ATZM6N4

and eventually some of us hope SONOS will access our personal libraries...

u/audiosampling · 1 pointr/MyNoise

I tried entering the Alexa world... Much work for just 10 reviews in 6 month time, including two bad ones... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PQ33HV6. Not keen to integrate other platforms. I mainly do to please my users, but more and more I feel like I should stick to the website version.

u/e_okami · 2 pointsr/alexa

I use Sleep Sounds: White Noise skill by Invoked Aps LLC everynight. Once I asked to loop that sound for 5 h and Alexa offered subscription - 1£ per month. I just said yes and that's it.
You can find that skill in Alexa App on your mobile phone and subscribe over there.

Edit:
https://www.amazon.com/Invoked-Apps-LLC-Ambient-Sounds/dp/B075977QQY/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?keywords=Sleep+sounds+white+noise&qid=1574613989&sr=8-10

You can enable this skill on Amazon site but if you want to subscribe you need to do this in your mobile app.

u/cheneychen17 · 1 pointr/amazonecho

Thank you Hoylegu, did u mean https://www.amazon.com/TuneIn-Live/dp/B075SMLSDS bwt

u/gradyr1953 · 3 pointsr/amazonecho

I use this skill:
https://skills-store.amazon.com/deeplink/dp/B01M3RCM3B?

It plays all night for me.

u/NekoFever · 1 pointr/AppleMusic

If it's not showing up for you, try enabling the skill here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07LCQ5JT7

u/vidivicivini · 1 pointr/alexa

Assuming you mean iTunes and not the streaming stuff, there is. But there is a fee, and there are hoops to be jumped through because Apple.

u/Valerokai · 1 pointr/FellowKids

More work initially, but, once you get it down, you can just put the DVD/CD in a disk drive, and it will be ripped, and streamable to any device you own (phone, TV, console, tablet, Amazon Alexa), and, with no weird pre-rolls or ads. Plus, it means if your media gets stolen, or a disk dies one day, you still have a backup which you can still watch.
