Plex Client or Plex Integration with Amazon Echo.   function 1 - use voice commands to call and play plex music   function 2 - use voice commands to play plex content (movies, shows) on TV (this one is not 100% clear to me but i have some suggestions).    a. use to search and play / pause / stop / skip / rewind video    b. video is shown on TV through another device which Echo controls, Amazon Firestick ,Apple TV, Chomecast, PC/Mac browsers etc.     i hope that others may see this as an opportunity as well and provide additional suggestions / comments to further define functionality / limitations.     ---

I just got my Echo (after waiting months) and I have to agree... The Echo is awesome and integration with Plex would be even more awesome.  ---

This. Exactly this. I think the echo is entirely underutilized and Plex integration would make it so nice. You could do so many things and link it as a remote for Plex.  ---

I got my Amazon Echo yesterday and it is amazing! I would love to be able to play music directly from my Plex library.  ---

I’m not sure if the Echo SDK is robust enough yet to allow any third party to develop their own channel. There are some Plex Ifttt recipes out there so you might be able to kludge something together, but I’m sure we’ll see official support when Amazon makes it possible to add a direct Plex channel. Until then I will dream of saying things like “Alexa, play Deadliest Catch on Kitchen Fire Stick”. ---

Amazon has released a preview of their SDK publicly. Would love to see some kind of Plex Music integration!

+1 This would be awesome! Even if it is as simple as “Alex, play Pink Floyd from Plex” ---

As of today, the publicly available “Alexa Skills Kit” only supports playing 30 second audio clips, so it’s not possible to use it to add a new streaming service. You could use it to control Plex (as has been demonstrated), but you couldn’t stream audio through the echo device itself. ---

You could use it to control Plex (as has been demonstrated), but you couldn’t stream audio through the echo device itself. That’s a bummer. Because it would be REALLY nice to be able to play my Plex music library through my Echo devices. ---
