The user must also be signed into the Plex account via one of the supported Plex client apps on the aforementioned supported platforms, with that app being active and running on the device.

While Xbox 360 and Xbox One are not currently supported, Plex tells us that the support for both will be added in the near future. Ensure that the device (your PC) with the home media server is on. In order to get the interaction up and running, and to fire audible commands at Alexa to be transposed across to a Plex media server, a user will need one of the following pieces of hardware an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet, or Tap, along with Plex Media Server setup and a Plex client app installed on either an Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, iOS, PlayStation 4, Plex Media Player, Plex Web App, Roku or Windows/Windows Phone device. Install the Plex app on the Fire TV stick (you can find it using the Search function). Rather than having to pick up a remote and fiddle with buttons and menus, a user can simply invoke Alexa on a compatible device and then give a specific command, such as “ Alexa, tell Plex to play The Walking Dead”, or even a command like “ Alexa, ask Plex to suggest something to watch”.
