Anyone have any idea if Rasplex needs to be updated for Alexa integration or if it is solely a Plex issue?

I haven’t been able to get it to work yet

I know this isn’t helpful, but same here…

I’m seeing a 401 unauthorized error when browsing to [http://serverIP:32400/clients](http://serverIP:32400/clients)

You need to add your Plex token to the end of the command, or add the ip address and netmask of the computer you are using to the list of computers allowed to access the Plex server without authorization. [http://serverIP:32400/clients?X-Plex-Token=xxx](http://serverIP:32400/clients?X-Plex-Token=xxx)

Yeah, I’m also having a Rasplex Alexa issue. I’m using the latest 1.7.1 build. Any tricks we can use to get the devices seen by Alexa?

Thanks for that. My rasplex is listed under /clients page, yet Alexa still can’t find the player.

If Rasplex doesn’t support Plex Companion then it won’t work. You’ll have to ask the Rasplex developers about adding support for Alexa.

someone mentioned that players need to be updated with something called ‘PubSub’? Not sure what this means but here’s the ref: [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/256807/alexa-not-seeing-player#latest](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/256807/alexa-not-seeing-player#latest)
