From what I've read some of the features no longer work even with a subscription.
#Google assistant play music from my library free
They've taken away free features that were part of the selling point for me and now charge a premium. If can even be bothered to open an app and play my own uploads on my speakers there's a billion ads. If I ask it to play random music, this no longer works.

If for example I ask google to play Metallica this no longer works, even though I have every album on youtube music. I have a routine that plays music on all of my speakers in the morning, as kind of an alarm clock, this no longer works. I have music that I've bought on Google play music over the last few years that I can no longer play via google assistant.

Your position is like saying it is ridiculous that a cab (or Uber) driver expects you to pay to transport your own kids. However, if you want to use the technology and intelligence provided by Google to do that, then you may have to pay something to allow that. There are many ways you can play your own music for free. Voice commands would be extremely useful for selecting and playing these tracks. I know the types of music I like (and if I like it I'm inclined to buy it). I resent being inundated with Google Assistant's inane and totally unhelpful suggestions of streaming music that "I might like" because in their opinion it is similar to a song I requested. I have also created numerous backing tracks that I use to practice jazz standards and other songs on my digital keyboard. As I understand it, this feature, which worked well with Google Play Music, isn't even supported by the paid version of YouTube Music.Īs an elderly and cantankerous former engineer and semi-professional musician, I have an extensive library of music of multiple genres spanning at least nine decades. I'm extremely disappointed in Google's decision to eliminate the ability to use Google Home voice commands to play songs from my personally curated, legally purchased, music library. I suggested this as an added feature for Emby Connect back in June, and I hope there are enough interested people to warrant the effort required required by Emby to make it work. In the meantime, you can keep using Google Play Music and at the same time experiment with MyMedia for Alexa. I have no affiliation with this company, and I sincerely hope that Emby Connect can work the same magic with Google Home/Google Nest products. This keeps your music under your control." It has a seven day free trial, and if you like it, you can purchase a subscription that costs only $5 per YEAR. My Media lets you stream your music collection to your Amazon Echo or Amazon Dot without having to upload all your music collection to the Cloud. (Just Google "MyMedia for Alexa" for details.) Per their website, MyMedia "installs a tiny media server on your computer that integrates with the ease and power of Amazon Alexa to give you voice control over your media collection. As a stop-gap measure (until the folks at Emby perfect Emby Connect), you can use that same computer to run a program called MyMedia. Since you are on an Emby forum, I assume that you have a decent desktop computer on which you run your Emby server. I wish something similar existed for use with Google Home products.)

The software "watches" and indexes local music folders on a PC to create a lightweight music server that is compatible with Alexa.

(If the Emby team wants to pursue improving Emby for Google Home, you might take a look at a product called MyMedia, which is an Amazon Echo "skill." Their approach is elegant and it works flawlessly.

(Right now there are only two choices-my android phone or a DLNA device that I never use.) To test the feature, I selected my phone and it does play the song as expected, but not on the speaker I would like to use. Google finds the song on my Emby Server and asks which player I want to use. I can start a session by saying "Hey Google, talk to Emby Home." I can then say "Play by.

I have successfully installed and configured the Emby for Android app and linked it to my Emby Server using Emby Connect. I want to play the music directly on the Google Home device that issues the voice command, rather than routing it to my phone or a DLNA-compatible "player." However, there doesn't seem to be an option to simply play the selected music directly on the Google Home device's speaker. I'm looking for a way to select songs from my Emby Server using voice commands on a Google Home device such as the Google Home Mini or the Google Nest.
