Title: Alexa Integration
Post by: TopDownDriver on October 04, 2022, 12:48:09 pm

Alright, Mc30 installed.  I can access the MC Server from outside the network without any issue.
Installed JTALK without any issue and linked it to the server.

Following the instructions:

"Open JTALK"
"Alexa ask JTALK to play artist The Beatles"
responds "Ok" and then...
BONG - nothing!

What am I doing wrong?

Is it playing on the server?  Alexa is saying that it's working.

It won't.  Alexa is controlling playback of MC, not playing anything.

If the Alexa devices supported UPnP / DLNA, it could work that way, but they don't.

Got it.  Working fine.
