When playing audio from Google home device (ie Nest Hub Max), you cannot select Plex as a music provider. That’s fine, we have a workaround to cast from the phone to the device. However, when doing so there is no way to issue a voice command to skip a song, ie “ok Google, skip this song”. The only way to skip the song is to get your phone, and use the skip button from there.

The onscreen controls on the Google device being casted to are also missing it. This makes it annoying to do anything handsfree while listening to music from Plexamp because if you want to skip a song you have to use your phone controls or go to the device that’s being cast to and drag the slider to the end of the song.

Seems like a massive oversight to not have skip functionality via voice.

> Hi Plex Team! I’m having trouble getting previous/next control to work while casting music from Plex. I can control these elements from the Plex App / Plexamp / Web Interface just fine (when casting music to my Google Home devices); however, asking the speaker to go to the next track or even trying to use the previous/next controls to skip songs through the Google Home app does not work. I don’t want to always use the Plex or Plexamp app to skip songs, as I don’t always have my phone and it’s…
