Google home integration status

Google Home integration

+1 indeed!

+1 Please a native integration. I don’t want to download 3 or 4 apps to hack it together…not when I have YouTubeTV+YouTube+Chromecast+GoogleHome working so well already…

+1. Count me in. I’ve been using Phlex and it works moderately well, but really need a native app. It’s just too finicky and casting is very questionable at this point. Would love to see this as a priority project. You guys rock.

+1 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Bump…

Any updates on this?

Use Phlex, Its not great, but its better than nothing, it wasn’t too hard to install.

Just remember to update the php.ini with

extension=php_sockets.dll

if you use NGINX

I beg to differ. Nothing has worked just as good, if not better than Phlex. Would happily wait for the Plex team to get their act’s together and release this.

Just in case anyone doesn’t know, you can perform basic pause/play/next video functions with Google assistant already if you have a chromecast. Via a computer or Plex Android app, I start the stream to my chromecast (called ā€œTVā€) and am able to control it with my Google Homes by saying things like:
ā€œHey Google, pause on the TVā€
ā€œHey Google, resume on the TVā€
ā€œHey Google, skip this video on the TVā€
I found this out the other week and it made my life so much simpler so I thought I would share.

Cheers!

Sad, and to think, the only thing keeping me (and likely others) from a PlexPass is support for this. Once in place, especially with the upcoming podcast support (any word on audiobooks?) a PlexPass will be purchased. Until then, I’m always open to other servers if needed.

+1 for Google Home integration in Plex!

+1 Also want this

+1 I would love this and quite frankly I am surprised that this is not being worked on. The Plex team of developers have written the Amazon Alexa skill and I am thinking Google Assistant is not too far removed from that. We’ve got Logitech Harmony, Philips Hue Lights, Nest Thermostat, Wi-Fi Sockets and CCTV Cameras all controllable by Google Assistant. Come on Plex devs, get on this Smart Integration please!

The fact that this isn’t supported yet in 2018… you’re kinda behind and i’m gonna start looking for other solutions.

+1 Hope this is added soon

+1 i have chromcast and google home assitant, it would nice to be able to talk to plex on my network…
