doesnt work for Netflix, Android issue
Sorry to here that.
Works, but looks like the caught on to it. Jumps back to home screen after a minute.
This sucks…..WTF? Useless. Jumps back to home screen after a minute.
I want to be able to say, “Alexa, play Fortunate Youth, So Rebel on YouTube.”
I can’t seem to find the Google “privacy” once I click on Google search. Did it move? The only settings I see on the page are for Amazon. A screen shot of where the Google Privacy is would be helpful. Thanks
SO close to getting it to work on Amazon Show… it gives a “webpage not available” message when clicking a show/movie in Netflix.
Me too!
On mine I can just say alexa search youtube and it brings up youtube. Netflix doesn’t work. I didnt have to set that up, it did it out of the box. Its bullcrap! We purchased the damn things, why do they think they can decide what we watch on it. Stupid Jeff bezos!!!
It says error. I guess because amazon only wants us to use their own: Amazon Prime or Hulu which is paid membership. My suggestion, sign up for trial with Prime or Hulu…watch movies and cancel. 🙂
This sucks can’t link anything to the echo. Regretting this already
This did work..but it’s a very round about way and the screen times out. You can use the Show to play YouTube by just opening Firefox and loading the YouTube website. I’m still trying to find a way to cast from my phone like I could till last week on the YouTube TV site but no luck
Didn’t work for me in the UK but I can say “Alexa open Firefox” and open YouTube from there and that works fine.
Wife can stream QVC
WHy is this article still up when every comment says it doesnt work?
… because clicks
