However, the first post (?) in the link mentioned something about jriver media center. ) can do this, but right now appears that the QNAP Plex Server is nowhere near this version, and thus, is not an option. I know Plex Server ( Plex Media Server version 1.5.1 or newer is required. Is there an App that ONLY runs/installs on the QNAP that will allow you to stream that music to the Echo? No Windows PC/Server (or Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.) required. I can do that now with the Plex App/server. Unfortunately (unless I'm reading wrong), it requires that you run this on your Windows PC. Music station seems awkward (you have to re-upload the music files even though they're already on the NAS in order to create a non-smart playlist?) But that doesn't solve the issue, unfortunately.Īre there any other apps that I can install on the QNAP that'll let me tell the Echo via Alexa to playback the music (via Echo's built-in speaker) from the QNAP? I thought I saw somewhere that other NAS (Synology?) had an app that worked with Alexa/Echo for streaming, but I cannot seem to find anything for QNAP. I saw something about IFTT, but that seems to assume that you have the actual audio device hooked up to the QNAP (ie, you can use Alexa Echo to tell the Music Station to play the music, but the output is limited to USB, BT, etc. I'm not sure if it's QNAP's job or Plex's job to update that. It seems that this is doable IF the Plex Server software was version 1.3.4.something, but it seems for QNAP it's still at like 1.1.10 or something. I want to use my Amazon Echo (via Alexa) to playback the music from the QNAP. I searched and only came across 2 forum threads, which doesn't bode well, IMO.
