Alexa-video Alternatives

alexa-video reviews and mentions

• Autocode free limit not enough for Alexa Radio and Alexa Video
  2 projects | /r/amazonecho | 10 Sep 2022

  The excellent self-build skills https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio and https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video use Autocode. Unfortunately, Autocode's free service of 1000 requests doesn't last very long, a matter of days. To upgrade it's $20/month, which isn't worth it for me. Anybody clever enough to know of a free Autocode alternative and re-write the code?

• When Alexa won't stop, use sleep
  2 projects | /r/alexa | 14 Jul 2022

  I mostly use three skills to play radio and watch TV. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09RKCN3CN, https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio, https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video. I tried calling stations with other better known apps, station starts playing but it still wouldn't stop.

• CNN radio shutting off
  2 projects | /r/amazonecho | 26 Feb 2022

  I don't use Tunein, go direct with radio-browser skill to listen when I don't want video (at night or dot), use https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video to watch on echo 5. https://cnn-cnninternational-1-eu.rakuten.wurl.tv/playlist.m3u8. Find other tv streams here, https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/tree/master/streams.

• Watching CNN on Alexa Show with Alexa Routine
  1 project | /r/amazonecho | 21 Feb 2022

  Install https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video and add your channels.

• Broadcast news feed to multi-room setup?
  2 projects | /r/alexa | 4 Nov 2021

  I don't know how to hand-off to another echo. What I do is start playing something on a speaker group then shout out the news station I want to listen to. Unfortunately, the speaker group can only do audio, not video. So although I can play video (BBC, CNN, Sky, etc.) using the video skill, https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video, on a single Echo Show, I have to ask the radio skill, https://github.com/balsimpson/alexa-radio, to play the TV channel to get audio playing on all the devices (echos and dots) in the rooms I will be in.

  You can try news from Reuters. Or you can install https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video and get BBC and Sky UK streams from https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/blob/master/channels/uk.m3u. If outside UK, you need to use smartdns servers in your Show or router BBC

• Why does MSNBC keep going missing?

• Echo auto not starting radio stream
  2 projects | /r/alexa | 17 Jul 2021

  Good enough that I have about 30 radio stations listed.:) In some instances it's used as the primary source, and others as a backup. There is also a sister skill for video which I use to play news stations from all over the place, https://github.com/NovaGL/alexa-video.
