I have a couple of gen 3 echo dots.

 

I installed the plex skills and setup a plex server on a Nuc on my home network.

 

It worked fine.

 

I could say:

 

"Alexa use plex to play desolation row"

 

The system would find the relevant mp3 and play it through the dots.

 

Now, it just stopped.

 

If I ask for a play, I get the expected response "playing Desolation Row from highway 61 revisited" but nothing plays.

 

If I check the web interface on a browser on the nuc, I see that the expected file is selected.

 

But nothing plays.

 

I am not aware of any changes to the setup though of course all components as permanently online and can upgrade themselves whenever they think that I am not watching;.

 

Any ideas as to what may be wrong or how I can diagnose it?

Is there a requirement for a certificate.
Emby requires a cert for doing similar.

Does the Alexa phone app show what's playing?

Volume / muted?
