Having issues with Alexa not seeing the OpenPHT clients. Is this not support yet or am I missing something?

Does this also provide support for managed users? It appears that right now NO manager users are support for any player. And thank you for the quick response.

if it doesnt work for any other plex client, you can expect the same results with OpenPHT

How do you get Alexa to recognize the client? I’ve updated to the latest version and Alexa only recognizes my browser based clients. Do I have to enable a setting?

theres no specific settings for alexa. but i do have Allow remote control from HTTP and Allow control of PHT from Plex Clients enabled in Settings, Services.
Alexa (actually im using echosim) finds all my openpht 1.8.0 installs
