Playback of categories via voice command

Post by cactus-online »

Analog to album, song or artist it should be possible to select a category for playback. For example "Alexa ask My Media to play category/genre rock".

From the help files:
Alexa, ask My Media to play {Genre} {Music}

Isn't that it?

Three questions:

1) What is the source of known genres?
2) It might be a foreign language problem? Try it in all supported languages.
3) What I have to say? „Alexa, öffne Meine Medien und spiele Weihnachtslieder!“ or „Alexa, öffne meine Medien und spiele Christmas songs“. Both doesn‘t work. Also „Alexa, öffne Meine Medien und spiele Genre Weihnachtslieder/Christmas songs!“ doesn‘t work.
