While we know that Google Assistant will land on more devices throughout the year, Alexa is one of the competitors that is making it most difficult for the big G to position itself as the champion when it comes to virtual assistants. The conquest of home seems the great goal of these companies as indicated by various information.
Now it seems that Amazon has been adding new skills to Alexa almost every day. One of his latest tricks is the voice control for popular streaming server of multimedia content that we know from Plex. You just have to use your voice to ask Plex to play movies or music that you have stored in your home locally or even in the cloud.
As soon as you have this feature activated, all you have to do is ask Alexa about your movies, TV series and favorite music, provided that you already have all that content on your media server connected to Plex.
This ability currently works on the Amazon Tap, Echo Dot, Echo, Fire TV and the new Fire tablet models; how are you what I showed the first impressions and that is placed as one of the best tablets on the market for its value for money.
You can ask about Bob Marley songs or play some of those legendary movies like Star Wars with your own voice. Although one of the best Alexa skills for Plex is suggestions. You can ask Plex what suggest you some music or video that you can reproduce it if you can't think of anything. There are even commands to start a party and have Alexa cheer her on with the best music, or another to ask what's new in the system for Plex to serve on a platter.
Plex is available for a good repertoire of systems like Apple TV, Xbox One, PS 4, and NVIDIA Shield, so you're putting yourself in a great position with this new voice command.
