Having set the device up I started looking at what integrations there were for devices/ services we consume at home – Plex is the centre of our home Television and Music entertainment, so this seemed like an obvious candidate. On paper the Alex Plex skill enables (amongst other things):
Like “millions” of others over the Christmas period we obtained a generation 2 Echo device, with the (initial) sole purpose of replacing the DAB radio that struggles for reception in our kitchen. The Need for NAT loopback/ hairpin is also being worked on. Update 13/01/18: Plex have released a statement on these issues, available here: – in effect, the audio stream stopping issues should be fixed soon. Either use MP3 media, or don t expect to play music via your Echo device (for now). FLAC content (at time of writing) will randomly stop mid-song, or at the end of a song but fail to progress to the next track. TL:DR : The Alexa skill may well require a manual Port Forwarding rule/ Plex Media Server configured to playback music on the Echo device itself.
