- Tell Alexa the movie of the movie you would like to see
- Requires a Alexa+ or Amazon Prime subscription
- Only for us for the moment
The newly updated Alexa, Alexa+of Amazon, has all kinds of new features about which he can read in that link. And if you are an owner of Fire TV, be it an additional stick or a Fire TV screen, you can take advantage of a new feature that seems perfect to avoid the shame of the parents and the bored boredom.
The new feature allows you to jump to a specific part of the movie you are watching. Amazon showed this yesterday, asking Alexa+ in which film Bradley Cooper sang a song. Responded with A star is bornthe correct answer; When Alexa+ was asked to jump to that part of the film, he did exactly that.
How does the Alexa+scene work?
As Amazon explains, you can reach a specific scene using details such as the name of the actor or the character they are interpreting, a particular event of the film or other key data.
It is an interesting idea that will save many quick advances, especially if you have ever wanted to show someone a particular part of a film, such as a memorable action scene or a really fun visual gag, or if you want to see a specific scene again. This used to be easy in DVD and Blu-Rays, with baked chapters, but the transmission has left that convenience.
In addition to omitting the content, there are also obvious benefits to omit the content, such as when the whole family is in the room and the action on the screen becomes too spicy for everyone’s comfort, hopefully you can say that ‘jumping this scene’ and will know when to go back.
That is not the only new feature that Alexa+ will bring to his Fire TV. It will also allow you to ask your assistant details of the songs reproduced during the credits, even if you do not know the name of the song or the artist who interprets it. That should save some shazams.
I have not had the opportunity to try this function, but I would expect it to be exclusive to the Prime Video content, at least at the beginning, which will have the necessary metadata for Alexa+ to take advantage, although he can include anything you buy and what is available in your subscription. And initially at least, it will be only for the US, since Alexa+ is being implemented in the USA. Before being more widely available.
Alexa+ will be available for users of us in most TV and Fire devices in the coming weeks, and will be free if you have a main subscription. If it does not, it costs $ 19.99 per month, $ 5 per month more than the complete subscription. It is quite clear what a Amazon is to buy.
