Star Wars Movies and Alexa on FireTV
« on: April 30, 2018, 11:55:06 pm »
Hi!  I've recently setup Alexa to work with my FireTV and I'm encountering an issue getting my Star Wars movies to play.  If I say "Alexa, play Star Wars A New Hope" she tries to get me to buy it on FireTV.  Now if I say "Alexa play Thor Ragnarok" she just plays Thor Ragnarok without an issue.  I've tried this with other Disney movies I own as well and this issue only seems to impact Star Wars.  Anyone else notice this?

So, where is the New Hope movie physically located? On a computer drive, server etc?  Is another app actually plying the movie?  More detail, please.

It's in my Amazon Video Library.  Funny thing is I've noticed this only impacts the Original Trilogy movies.  If I ask for "Attack of the Clones" it works.  I wonder if it has to do with Fox still owning some of the rights to the films.

Sounds like you bought the movie from Amazon, so if you can't watch it, I suggest you contact Amazon.
