Yeah, that would cause an issue. Give me a minute, I'll push out an update so you can get around that.


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-06

Okay, run `npm upgrade -g lexgram-cli` and then `lexigram login --no-browser true`

Sorry, not sure why I didn't get an email notification on this.

   Type lexigram --help for help.

miststlkr@htpc:~$ lexigram --version
1.0.1



RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-08

New version is 1.0.3. For some reason it didn't upgrade. Try running that command.


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - miststlkr - 2018-04-08

Sorry, just came back to update.   I uninstall/re-installed and now it seems to be making progress.   I have a URL to paste in to get my Auth Code.

UPDATE - profile initialized successfully.   Thanks for your patience!  I can't wait to get this running Big Grin

Hi guys,

many thanks @m0ngr31  for the new "setup". I started a 2nd try and it looks much easier and works good so far...BUT sadly I stuck by configurating AWS lambda.
I've created the function as shown in your screenshot but I miss the trigger "alexa" on the left side. 
I've no idea what i made wrong.

someone any ideas? 

thanks!
J.


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-08

Can you be more specific?


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - evil-error - 2018-04-08

sure, i hope so...

You wrote in your manual the following:

Under "Add Triggers" on the left side, I haven't the option to chose "Alexa Skills Kit". 

I'v created the aws account for your previous skill version and made no special adjustments.

I followed you manual step by step, therefore I've no idea where my mistake could be :/


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-09

What region do you have selected?


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - miststlkr - 2018-04-09

How long should the "Deploy Skill" part take?  After quite a while (an hour?) It moved on to the "Deploying Skill Information" step and returned "Error deploying.  Please try again"   So I am running it again


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-09

It really shouldn't run longer than 10 minutes. I'll PM you to diagnose what the issue is.


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - miststlkr - 2018-04-10

Amazing.   I greatly appreciate the willingness to help out!


RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - miststlkr - 2018-04-12

After some awesome one on one help from m0ngr31 I have gotten the skill to deploy.   now I just have to figure out how to get my echo to use it.
