Sam: Well, I’ve got the champagne on ice, I’ve set out our finest meats and cheeses, and there’s glitter figuratively everywhere, but I still feel like something’s missing… Their guests will start arriving any minute. Sarah and Craig (in breathy unison): Sure!Īlexa (in her characteristic, optimistic tone): Okay, enjoy season one episode one of Son of Zorn: Return to Orange County!įebruary 2017 has been amazing so far roommates Jenny and Sam are just finishing up preparations for their big Groundhog Day party. Neither can find a reason to reject such a sensible proposal. Would you like me to resume it?Īlexa: How about returning to something you haven’t watched in a while? Would you like me to put on the next episode of Celebrity Deathmatch?Īlexa: How about starting a new series? Would you like me to put on the first episode of Son of Zorn?Ĭonfrontational Craig and Sensible Sarah look at each other.

Sarah: I know, let’s ask Plex! “Alexa, ask Plex to suggest something to watch!”Īlexa: You were right in the middle of an episode of Arrow. Sensible Sarah: I’m pretty sure you mean figuratively. I can literally feel my soul escaping through my eyes whenever I think about it. Fresh logs on the fire, scent of pine in the air, warm blanket upon them and a dog curled up at their feet.Ĭonfrontational Craig: I don’t think I can handle another episode of Arrow. If you’re still on the fence as to whether to let Alexa into your life, let me share a few examples of how the new Plex skill can save you time, improve your marriage, and rescue you from up to dozens of mouse clicks every day!Ī couple, curled up on the couch.

If you’re the proud owner of an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Tap, Amazon Fire TV, or Fire tablet, you’ll be able to dive right in.

So we’re incredibly pleased to announce that Plex will be coming to life on all Alexa-enabled devices starting February 2, 2017, with the Amazon Alexa skill! And while we’re sure you’ve done a wonderful job including Plex in the family photos and saving your server a seat at the dinner table, we think it’s about time we gave our creation a real voice. If you look even deeper, are you entirely sure you didn’t expect a response? I’d share some of my own dialogue here, but for now I think my choice words are better kept between me and that elusive little memory leak…Īnyway, until now the burden of anthropomorphizing your friendly media server has fallen squarely on you, the user. What is Plex to you? Is it an app, a service, a platform? Where does it live? On your TV? Your phone? In the Cloud? Have you ever…spoken to Plex? I bet you have, if even briefly something whispered under your breath, a tacit admission that Plex is more than just a machine.
