RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - peajay18 - 2016-12-21
Can anyone help?
Everything works fine when I run a text test on the Amazon developer console (the movie I asked for starts playing), but when I speak the same request direct to my Dot, I get "I'm not sure how to help you with that" and nothing happens.
What am I missing?

I had this problem also and found this hidden gem in the thread.
My dot was on amazon.com and lambda was in us-east, language was English US but dot address for weather/traffic is UK in alexa settings.
Once I moved my dot to amazon UK, lambda on Eu-west, English UK language, it worked straight away.
Might work for you.

Does this work with the new web UI ? I keep getting 301 errors, and I'm wondering if it's that

You mean Kodi's new web UI? It shouldn't have anything to do with that.
Amazon Echo skill for Kodi Issue - cumberlandbm - 2016-12-21
I got my kodi and dynu.com service established and it works when i log in and use the ugly Kodi UI to start/stop music and movies. I was also able to get the code submitted, utterances, and intent schema setup. The application now shows up in my Alexa app and it is enabled.
However, whenever I ask fit for anything, I get the error "There was a problem with the requested skills response." from Alexa herself. I looked into the Alexa app and this error shows up "Skill response was marked as failure - Request identifier: amzn1.echo-api.request:#aa##a#a-#a#a-###a-a#aa-###aa#####a# - The target Lambda application returned a failure response".
I've tried re-doing everything a few times and can't get it to work, though I know I'm very close. Any help would be great, thanks.
Update (Solved): In case anyone else runs into this. I fixed the issue by taking the Application Id from Amazon, putting it in my .env and re-doing it all with that as the SKILL_APPID. I did that wrong at first.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - cumberlandbm - 2016-12-21
I've gotten this to mostly work. It seems to be a little buggy for when I'm asking it to search for anything like certain movies or music. It states it's searching for it, but looks like it just navigates to Home everytime. Are there certain settings to make it work more efficiently?

What exactly are you saying to Alexa? edit: If you're asking, "Alexa, ask Kodi to search for <item>", this particular request makes use of the Global Search script. If you don't have it installed it will just go to the Home screen.
Populating the slots with your library items is the only thing meant to be user-configurable with regard to search accuracy.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - cumberlandbm - 2016-12-21
I'm saying "Alexa, ask [Kodi] to search for 300". I used the website to get a full list of my libraries. It's able to play it when I ask it to play the movie, but when asking for a search on anything, it just navigates to the Home section.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - jingai - 2016-12-21
Make sure you've got the Global Search script (Kodi addon) installed.

Excellent - thanks very much!
Working fine now.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - UsefulG - 2016-12-21
Apologies if I've missed it in the thread but I've come back to this skill after a couple of months and I've updated my Heroku app with the latest changes from git but when I try to update the skill on the Amazon website I get the following error:
Error: Bonnie "Prince" Billy contains invalid characters. Values for a custom slot type cannot contain double quotation marks.
I have tried copying only the intents and saving, the utterances and saving and trying to create the new custom slots and saving and whatever I do I get this error.
What have I missed?
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - jingai - 2016-12-21
@UsefulG, remove the quotes from items in your slots. We're aware of the problem, but haven't updated the slot generator yet.
Just so you know, when updating it works best in this order:
1) Add any newly-added slots, or remove slots if we've deleted any,
2) Update the intents and utterances simultaneously.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - UsefulG - 2016-12-21
Hi Jingai,
I have an existing app that was working previously and added a slot called MOVIEGENRES which is one of the slots added since I looked at this and typed in the word action into the Values field and clicked save and I get the same error.

The restriction on double quotes in the slots might have been something Amazon added since you first installed the skill. That is, I believe it's likely an existing item (not one you just added), called 'Bonnie "Prince" Billy' as the error mentions. Check all of your existing slots for double quotes and remove any you find.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - digiltd - 2016-12-22
@Steevo25 This doesn't deal with the separate port issue but I use a single Kodi install with multiple profiles
Each profile is set up as a separate Skill with different invocation names and custom slot data in the Alexa Developer section (not AWS Lambda)
They all point to the same endpoint (AWS Lambda ARN).
In your .env file, you can add multiple Application IDs to SKILL_APPID if you separate them with a single comma (i.e. not comma space)
