RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - miststlkr - 2018-04-16
IT'S ALLLIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-16
Just a reminder for everyone to upgrade the cli. New update fixed a few things.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - liminal1 - 2018-04-16
Hey guys,
Trying to set this up. But having issues with the webapp not getting anything out of Kodi. I can log in fine outside the network. I am using Plex Codi Connect though.
Would this cause any issues?
Error I'm getting is: Please validate your server information and try again
But I promise, im getting to it outside the network? Port forwarding is working fine.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - erikhogs - 2018-04-16
I get the same error after approx. 1 minute

RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-16
Did you use the 'Deploy to Heroku' button or did you deploy from the command line?
Also, I updated the Heroku Python version, and PyPi was having issues earlier today when they did a migration. I'd say give it another shot.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - mysteron09 - 2018-04-16
I used the 'Deploy' button.
Just tried again. Same error.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-16
Yeah, looks like an issue with how Flask-Ask is setting requirements breaks in pip 10: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2017-October/031642.html
I'll create a PR for that to be fixed.

A question. I remember when going through the setup that it said that the port 9090 was in use but since that is kodi I did not pay any attention to it. Should I stop kodi on the device and start all over alternatively run the setup on another device?
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - erikhogs - 2018-04-19
Hi m0ngr31,
Saw now that you sent me a PM. For some reason I'm not able to reply to that (not allowed for some reason) so I post my kodi.config here (have removed all the passwords etc.
#
# Global configuration
#
[global]
# Currently supported languages: en, de
language = en
# By default, if you ask to play media without specifying the type, the skill
# will search through the entire library to find a match.
#
# For example, if you ask, "Alexa, ask Kodi to play ninety nine red balloons,"
# the skill will search library items in the following order to find the song:
#
# Movies -> Shows -> Artists -> Songs -> Albums
#
# If your library is really large, this can take some time to complete. While
# it will eventually execute, Alexa may report that the skill timed out. If
# this behavior bothers you, you can disable deep searches.
#
# When disabled, Alexa will simply provide help in the response directing you
# to issue a play command that includes the media type of the item.
deep_search = yes
# Limit number of items we add to playlists.
#
# Some requests will cause the skill to create a temporary playlist in Kodi
# before executing your command. This operation is expensive in Kodi, so we
# provide the option here to limit the number of items added.
#
# The default is 100 to match Kodi's own 'party mode.' Higher values will
# make these operations slower, but if your setup can handle it, you're free
# to set this to whatever you like.
#
# Set to an empty string for unlimited.
playlist_max_items = 100
# Search result limits for new (unwatched) Movies and Episodes.
#
# By default we ask kodi to return a max of 100 results per JSON request.
# Here you can set this figure to optimize the system for you.
# Results are always retrieved in order of newest episodes and movies first.
#
# Lower figures will produce faster results and limit them to only media that
# you've recently added to the library.
unwatched_shows_max_results = 100

Update - just started testing and I'm getting "There was a problem with the skill's response" from my Echo. Here's the log from the server:

RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - m0ngr31 - 2018-04-20
Try deploying again. I found an issue with a package version.

Hi m0ngr31 - redeployed from scratch, and it's working. Thanks so much for your work on this and your help!
