RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - nawo69 - 2016-10-23
Got this working great so thanks!
I have found one issue...TV series with a written number in the title aren't found.
For example Brooklyn Nine Nine and Hawaii Five-o in the logs it searches for Brooklyn 99 and hawaii 5 o.

RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - michaelhinchey - 2016-10-24
If I understand this correctly, after I set this up it will only work for files that I own physically right? No add ons like
netflix, or amazon prime?
Also, if it needs the file physicall and I decide to use an add on will it still be able to call the pause, stop buttons?
I have kodi 16.1, harmony hub, windows7, Alexa and use the ha bridge. Maybe there is an easier way to get pause, play and stop to work. Any help would be great. Thx so much.

I followed the directions, and up until setting up the stuff on Amazon it seemed to work (got no errors) I added SHOWS, MOVIES & MUSIC slot types, then I pasted the files in Intent Schema & Sample Utterances. This is what I get when I try to save it
Error: There was a problem with your request: Unknown slot type 'MUSICARTISTS' for slot 'Artist'
I tried a bunch of things but I can't figure this out at all

You need to add a slot for MUSICARTISTS as the sample utterances config references it and it can't find it. You need to delete the sample utterances before you add it, and the re-add the sample utterances.
Your complete list of slots should be:
MOVIES
SHOWS
MUSICARTISTS
MUSICPLAYLISTS
Even if some of them are blank....

Navigation commands (up/down/left/right/skip/previous/etc) will work everywhere they're applicable.
The other commands specifically operate on library items. This is usually a file located on your local storage. There might be a way to add streaming media to the library, but I've never tried to do it.
I will soon be adding commands to execute addons and support for favorites (if possible). This should allow some rudimentary control of addons, but you still won't be able to say anything like "play {movie} from Netflix". As far as I know, that support just isn't there in Kodi yet. I am going to look at it more thoroughly though once I sit down to implement this stuff.

I'm gonna do this for kodi because just being able to pause, play and stop via voice is so Jetson. Lol
Thx for the reply and I would be interested to see what you have coming next.

I don't know, but I think most apps are using the same interface we're using (JSON RPC) so, probably not.

RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - bernardlowe - 2016-10-24
brilliant work really amazing. was wondering if alexa will work on osmc on raspberry pi 3?
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - BDPNA - 2016-10-25
I love it when she tells me the names of the new shows ready to watch. Is there a way to make her tell me more than 2 random shows that are new? I'd love to be able to make that list go higher. This is so much fun. Thanks a bunch!
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - MattDale - 2016-10-25
Hi,
I've been trying this for a while now and struggling. Keep getting an "error parsing results" message from Alexa (and occasionally not even that).
I've followed this set of instructions almost to the letter (although I've set up MUSICARTISTS and MUSICPLAYLISTS slot types instead of the one it recommends): http://www.howtogeek.com/249336/how-to-control-your-kodi-media-center-with-an-amazon-echo/
I'm able to pull an error log from Heroku, so *that* seems to be OK. I'm also able to log into Kodi via my dynamic DNS URL, so *that* seems to be OK too. The Alexa developer app has green ticks throughout. I'm not sure where else to obviously troubleshoot.

Can anyone offer any obvious pointers?

Are you able to access the JSONRPC using your ddns? e.g. superrandomname.duckdns.org:33333/jsonrpc
Also what language are you trying to set up and where are you located?
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - MattDale - 2016-10-25
Thanks for the reply... Whilst I don't understand JSONRPC, I've entered my DDNS followed by /jsonrpc into a browser and it's come up with a lot of code, so I'd say yes to that one!
I'm English, based in the UK, so I've used that setting when building this. So far (I've only had the dot 24hrs) I've found it's been amazingly good at transcribing me... and indeed the app is reporting back the exact words I'm saying, even when I get a parse error.

Did it prompt you for a username and password first?
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - elikiasdad - 2016-10-25
Quick question. When creating a role in AWS it wants me to select a role type. Which one do I select?
