I have two “audio” libraries. One is music, the other is spoken-word (audiobooks, business and inspirational speakers, poetry readings, audio letters from family, etc.). Normally there’s no issue, except that whenever I have to rebuild the spoken word library, it takes a long time because it’s always looking for songs from the meta data, and occasionally it (incorrectly) thinks it’s found a match.
I also use Alexa’s command “Alexa, ask Plex to play some music” feature to have Alexa play random songs from the music library. I do this a lot - several times a day at least, since I’m now working from home and music helps me focus.
Normally there’s no problem. Alexa generally stays in the music library. However, every now and then, it switches too the Spoken Word library instead, and that’s DEFINITELY not what I want. The only solution I’ve found to “fix” this is to delete the Spoken Word library completely, then re-add it. In the settings’ Libraries listing, this causes the Spoken Word library to appear BELOW the Songs library (changing names does nothing, and I can find no other way to re-order them. Alphabetically they should always be in the right order anyway).
So what I’d like is any one of the following solutions (or another that I haven’t thought of):
• Another library type for non-music audio (so Alexa won’t look in there for music)
• A method to re-order the libraries other than deleting and re-adding
• A way to tell Alexa which library to pull songs from
Thanks!
BTW, it would also be nice if on the Contact page of the Plex site (https://www.plex.tv/contact/), it didn’t permit me to type all this in, then when I select “support”, it removes everything I’d typed and sends me to another page. It shouldn’t give you a box to type in if it’s just going to delete it!
