Faulty implementation of German Plex skill for Alexa

Dear Plex team,

your German language implementation of the Plex skill for Alexa is biased…

When I am sitting on my couch, saying loud and clear:
“Alexa, sag PLEX, spiele den Spielfilm ‘Predator’ auf Geraet Wohnzimmer” (Alxa, tell Plex to play the movie ‘Predator’ at device Living Room), then my wife grabs the remote control and ends up playing something like ‘Titanic’. So, I end up alone in the working room, watching ‘Predator’ there.

So, something in your German implementation of that skill goes terribly wrong.

  • Playing the wrong movie
  • Playing on the wrong device
  • Using the remote control
  • Me ending up being alone

It’s time to fix this… ;-))

Sorry for not attaching any log files… my wife always promises that debugging her would have permanent consequences which I understand as high priority demand (look, my subtitle feature is not broken).

Come on, guys… it’s time to present v1 of the German Plex skill for Alexa.
No more excuses…

We haven’t released the Alexa Skill for Germany. I don’t know what you are running, but our Alexa Skill is only available for US and UK currently.

Sorry, I thought it would be clear to anybody that I tried to be funny.
This was my take to “invite” you to create a German Plex skill for Alexa.

You have another thread - with the length of Ben Hur movie - in which the German community asks for such a skill:

I did not intend to make fun of you… just taking humor as method of communication.
Telling my wife to switch on a certain movie seldomly works as intended… :wink:

Making a new thread about it is not going to make it happen any faster.

What makes is happen faster?

nothing will

Aha… so what was your “answer” then about? I love these kind of replies by employees to their clients. Never mind…

Lol I was told the fully functional US skill was being approved for Canada by Amazon back in December. The US skill worked great until the geofence was slapped up. I guess Plex and Amazon feel Canada speak an entirely different English eh? Lol.

Wouldn’t mind so much if I hadn’t talked a few quads into buying into the echo/Plex solution.

Many think home automation is for the lazy. If they only knew the other side.

Don’t hold your breath. Plex doesn’t even respond to Echo questions anymore.
