question

I was inspired by a blog post ( http://www.aftvnews.com/controlling-the-amazon-fire-tv-with-the-amazon-echo/) which added basic controlling of FireTV using ID3 Tags and quite a few other steps. I decided that the latency of IFTTT was not desirable and lacked the flexibility I truly wanted. I created a github repo ( https://github.com/timothysoehnlin/AlexaMedia/) that contains 3 main components: * AWS Lambda project for receiving commands pushing into Firebase * NodeJS client for reading from Firebase to issue adb commands * Configuration files for setting up Alexa Skills to interact with the AWS Lambda Skill All the components are free and with any normal usage should remain free. Some of the more complex actions (like 'Alexa ask tv to play gotham on hulu) rely on menu structures, and so may be brittle. Also, the only applications that support the search and play are netflix and hulu at the moment.
