Anyone else had the same issue?
Thanks

Use 'kodi' or whatever you setup the skill as.

I can see it sending the service request but am getting the following responde:
There was an error calling the remote endpoint, which returned HTTP 503 : Service Unavailable

The Heroku log shows something has crashed:

Any help really appreciated.

I have setup the skill as described in this post:

http://www.howtogeek.com/249336/how-to-control-your-kodi-media-center-with-an-amazon-echo/

The problem is its not working for me at all and I can see that while my heroku app has been successfully deployed, it does not seem to have been called (as the activity log does not show anything after deployment)

Im using a north american server and the https url is https://afternoon-XXXXX.herokuapp.com/ (i have changed the app name)

When I say "Alexa ask the living room to play the eagles" - it plays the eagles from amazon prime on the echo

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Have you tried testing the service from the Amazon Skill developer page? You are able to type a command in such as "Play a random movie". That will let you know whether the skill is able to talk to Heroku at least and should provide some useful info.

Also, what have you set your invocation name to?

The invocation name is "the living room"

Im not seeing ANY activity in the activity section of Heroku but using the testing service some commands are getting to the Kodi box. For example, Play a random movie always works (from the skill tester) as does "Alexa tell the living room to play a good day to die hard"

I have a music library of 70,000 songs and most times using the skill tester to say "alexa play alison moyet" (as an example) mostly returns the remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid. (but sometimes the music plays and sometimes it does not (my kodi box is a raspberry pi 3)

Nothing works from the Echo itself.except "Im sorry i cant find the answer to the question i heard"

I know I'm close but Im so far away

Anu help would be appreciated. Thanks
