Google Home voice casting support

So now that we’ll be able to voice control Chromecast video via Google Home for YouTube and Netflix, we’re definitely going to need support for Plex! :slight_smile:

I’m sure the Plex devs are al over this, but if not, sign-ups are available for the new Google Home “Actions” APIs, etc.

This would be amazing, even better than voice controlled Netflix!

Digging this and other possibilities of Google integration.

This is what I’m looking for as well. Waiting for Plex support to buy my ‘Google Home’. I’d like to be able to say, “Ok, Google, play the next episode of South Park” or “Ok, Google, Pause Plex”.

Got my Google Home… Will be watching for Plex powers!

Just got my Google Home as well and the only video app currently supported is YouTube! Can’t wait for Plex integration.

At a minimum link it up with IFTTT and get us some recipes to do what we need.

Agree. I’d prefer native support on Home/Assistant platform for Google, but at the very least get on IFTTT

Btw, for now, you can still use google home to pause and resume playback, but you just can’t cast with your voice. Start casting something to your chromecast from plex, and then say, google, pause the tv, and then just say “play” to resume. Obviously the ideal situation will be, hey google, play xx on the tv, but until then, at least the pause and play functions work.

The API is now open! Who wants this? MEEE!! Think we can build one ourselves with IFFT?

Yes this needs to happen

Got a Google Home for Christmas from the wife and would love Plex support just like Netflix has support.

As least they are adding more to Android TV devices.

Looks like Google Home might support Plex without Plex having to do anything… at least on Android TV :wink:

I asked via Plex facebook message on the integration of Plex with Google Home. Their reply was “It’s not something we have direct control over currently, but we’d certainly like to improve that listing in the future.”

With the new Alexa integration it would be great to have some google home features too!

Here to second the Google Home Support, now that Plex supports Alexa.

Throwing another voice of support behind Google Home support.

Yup, totally aware Google Home support is much needed. Stay tuned :slight_smile:

Please integrate ASAP! This should be top priority.

Yes, Please integrate ASAP!
