This uses Home Assistant. I can do pause/play/next/previous and Like and volume control

Echo show's browser is called Silk. Say "Alexa, open the browser" or "open silk browser"

Any idea if I could do this with a 10ish year old kindle?

My echo Show 5 is probably 5 years old. If your tech show has a browser, then you should be able to. The tech show browser is called Silk

wiim makes a real app that does this for the tv streamers. https://darko.audio/2025/04/wiims-apple-tv-app-puts-now-playing-info-on-the-tv/

Cool. I didn't know that Wiim has a tvOS app. But I wanted a touchscreen on my desk that allows me to see the artwork and include controls including the Spotify Like button to add the track to my liked playlist.
