As an update: this now works with TH-cam however it has a little delay. You are able to say things like: Alexa, skip forward/backwards 10 seconds and Alexa, pause/play.
Awesome video! I still have one problem. All the commands work using echo. However, the firestick remote will turn off my tv, but the echo will not. Any idea why Alexa (echo) will work with all commands except for turning the tv off when the Alexa (firestick remote) works for everything including turning the tv off? Thanks!
Hey I am having the same problem. I see you post this a month ago were you able to resolve that? I can't seem to get my echo dot to play the Audio I can only hear audio from a movie from my TV speakers. However my echo dot does open apps upon request on my TV
hi what if the amazon echo is in my partners account and the fire stick is in my account this is our situation in our house can i still get the echo to play things on my stick or will it simply not work if there both in different amazon accounts please tell me? at the mo i can not get it to work like this we have the 2 devices in different amazon accounts
The audio is not working. My echo Dot and my firestick both show they are connected in the Alexa app however when I play a movie on my TV the sound only comes out of my TV speakers and not the echo. Even though I can tell Alexa to play something and it opens the app on my TV. How do I make it so that I can hear the audio from my echo dot as well?
I dont have a smart tv. Will this stick make my tv campatable. And can I us at tune on the tv with it . I watch regular tv like normal channels. Can I watch regular tv channels?
this works geat, i bought a Bose Smart Soundbar 300 was thinking that I could do just this but unfortunately it will not work with the hacked up Alexa version that Bose installed on the it.......
*Excellent video man! Short and to the point just like I do on my channel. I am very forgetful so I am going to put this in my favorites for life! LOL*
If you use a Firestick to play your Amazon Music from your home theater system is there a way to use an Echo Dot for voice commands instead of the Firestick remote or will the music play from Echo?
He said works only for Prime Video so you can rule that out. Nice to hear someone using a Fire TV Stick to play Amazon Music from😊. Personally I think the Alexa button on the Remote Control is great for that.
Hello, I used to have the original fire TV stick but with it connected to my smart TV I couldn't use my echo dot to control the normal TV functions like volume, channel and on/off, the echo automatically tried to control the fire TV stick. Once I unhooked the fire TV stick now I'm able to do all of those things. Is there a way to be able to do it all? Thank you in advance!
I Don't have a Fire TV Stick yet but can you ask to play specific episodes of either a tv show or specific episodes of an Original series on Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc.?
I’ve got 2 fire TVs in different room with separate Alexa devices in each room, but can’t seem to get them bit to work, it will only allow me to link one of the devices
I can get it to turn on and off with the Remote Voice control ..... I got it to open Netflix and prime video but I can’t get it to turn on or off the tv with the echo
Simple as it was it took me a second but I said Turn off fire TV and it shut down. However my fire stick remote is also paired to my remote. I can control the audio and power. And my TV isn’t a smart TV
Currently, you can only turn off the TV with the Firestick remote voice commands and not from Echo devices for some reason. Which is pointless as the Firestick remote already has a power button on it anyways so voice commands would be slower than just hitting a button. Now you can buy the new $30 FireTV infared blaster add-on that just released a week ago. I have one and it does work pretty nice and it sure beats having to buy those expensive Logitech Harmony Hubs.
@@xeracorocks buying the cube is better than buying an echo dot and a fire tv stick 😂 it's only an extra 20 right now you can control your TV with it just maybe not the volume
@@xeracorocks you really need to look up what the cube can actually do 😂 it can do everything you just said there and in the uk it only costs £20 more to buy it 😂 you really don't seem to know what it can actually do
My mom is having trouble getting Netflix to play where she left off, she will tell it to launch a show and it starts the first episode. Any idea how to remedy that?
I had that issue. You just have to remember which episode number you were on and tell it to play that episode. It's a bit annoying but you get used to it
my tv is smart but doesn't have alexa so i was considering buying one, but if i can only use my echo for prime video that's not very good. can anyone confirm still no hulu or netflix as of dec 2019??
Mine still isn't working. I have everything linked. It says the command back like it's going to play something and then nothing happens on my tv..... Some please help me lol
@@jakovtralic you're right i didn't think about that. That's weird though bc i was close to mine and it never got triggered. Still like it better than google home though
What if we have 2 fire sticks ?? This is not helpful. Can you make a video on that and also how to play the same video on both fire stick at the same time?
Alexa can play content from Netflix ;) At least she does that with me... I say "play ... from Netflix on Fire TV" and she does exactly that. I just can not use the Fire TV Stick with my Echo Dots (I have two Dots) for a surround sound...The Alexa app says, The Fire TV Stick wasn't compatible
The Fire Tv Stick is not in the list of compatible devices with Home Theater Mode, yo need the Fire Tv 4k, google search for compatible Home Theater Fire Tv for a full list of devices.
I HAVE A PROBLEM When I tell my Echo Plus to play something on Netflix, all it does is search and it doesn't play anything. And no matter what indication I say to the echo, it does not make Netflix play on my Fire TV stick!
@@michaelmyersfan1001 Can you have the audio play through both? And how is the sound quality through the echo dot? My speakers blew and I am hoping to salvage the tv
Please censor the times you say "Alexa". It's really annoying to have to mute all your echo devices before I watch videos EDIT: I wrote "Alex" instead of "Alexa"😂
Within the first 60 seconds u solved my 2 hour headache...thank you good sir
My three months headache LOL
Sane
Why the heck wouldn't that be on the device page?! It's so simple, and it's a core functionality if you have a dot and a stick
This is exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you very much, it was super clear.
As an update: this now works with TH-cam however it has a little delay. You are able to say things like: Alexa, skip forward/backwards 10 seconds and Alexa, pause/play.
You know you don’t need to say ‘hey’....just ‘Alexa’ 😂
Cant thank you enough
Got my answer very quickly
Watched the whole video anyways
Saved for future reference lol
Thank you
Awesome dude. Worked thanks. I'm officially not moving at all, drinking some cabernet. Cheers and be safe.

found the same issue. Purchased a BROADLINK RM 4 infrared blaster that lets you do more things with Alexa and infrared remote commands.
does this work with the fire stick 4k version alone ?
Work with up and down volumen??
Turn of and on tv?
TH-cam app?
Holy crap you made that easy, thanks.
I can’t seem to get Alexa to see the Fire TV Basic linked to my account. Does this work with only the 4K version with Alexa remote?
Seems that Alexa does not work with FireTV in Australia at the moment, unless you change your location to USA.

does the audio from netflix, prime video, streams out to the echo via wifi?
You have yo configure It in the fire TV, go to settings Remote and Bluetooth,
This is what I want to know bc I have a projector & if I don’t have to buy an alternative speaker that would be lit

What kind model firestick? Because here in Brazil it doesn't work, local model
Doesn't work for me on the 4K Firestick with an older echo. I guess it has to be newer...
Or he’s lying because I’m having the same issue.....
can I do the same thing with a Echo Studio? thank you.
It can search for Netflix movies too if exists i test it my self if the movie not there you will see it on other services like Amazon Videos

I’ve got 2 fire TVs in different room with separate Alexa devices in each room, but can’t seem to get them bit to work, it will only allow me to link one of the devices

I can’t link any :(
You said “Open Skey News” and it only queries the “Sky News” it didn’t actually open it. How can we open some app?
I can get it to turn on and off with the Remote Voice control ..... I got it to open Netflix and prime video but I can’t get it to turn on or off the tv with the echo
Jessica L Robinson you need to have a magic cube or something like that to work like a universal remote control

How do you make alexa turn off and on your tv?
Must be smart TV. Mine is but wireless card stopped working and attached fire stick which I'm very happy with ..
search for a broadlink and link it to alexa
Does this work with an Echo Show, or does it just open prime on the Show
frankly its useless - tends to just play on the echo show and not the firetv - waste of time - total gimmick
Mute the mic's on all your Alexa devices before watching this clip LOL I had to pause the video and do this
How to turn off and on the TV with it
I need to know if it can turn on and off non smart tvs? anyone.

Alexa opens Netflix and shows the different accounts, but you have to navigate by yourself (tested on 7th Dec 2019)
Actually, not much navigating needed if you know the movie: "Alexa open lost in space on Netflix" works
Mine still isn't working. I have everything linked. It says the command back like it's going to play something and then nothing happens on my tv..... Some please help me lol
Great!!!!!
You miss to turn the tv on and off wish is what we all wan do :-)
Wait really dose it work with all TVs as long as the fire stick is plugged in
my alexa keeps saying “the hub that the device (tv) is connected to is not responding”
Why "Hey Alexa" and not just "Alexa" haha. A mix between Siri and Alexa
Its most likely so the video doesn't trigger your device while you're watching the video
Or google
