RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - UsefulG - 2016-12-22
@jingai I removed all slots and started again and found that Bonny "Prince" Billy was an arstist in the list I assumed it was a generic error for double quotes not an actual artist. I blame my wife's choice of music
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - SmiddyJR - 2016-12-22
@jingai Hi again, just want to say thanks for your help. Re-uploaded the code and utterances/intents from the latest commit, and got all the functions i have tested so far working from the Alexa skills test. Really loving this skill
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - dorr351 - 2016-12-24
Thank you for this great release of code. I am new to Alexa and I love this. Would it be possible to add a custom slot for "Program Addons"?
Sorry for this post I have tried to delete but it won't let me. This post was generated due to my complete ignorance. I realize now that it all works great! Again I apologize.

Really need some help, thanks in advance.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - snoopy86 - 2016-12-27
Hi, can this also play tv channels like "alexa play discovery hd on kodi"?

No.
Well not yet anyway.
If you have the skills and the time, there is a pull request for PVR functionality that has been waiting for someone to test for a couple of months. It's on the repo.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - Twit - 2016-12-27
@orskasm
Looking at the log you posted, it's not even trying to use the ".env" file. It usually gives a warning about it not uploading the file as it contains sensitive info (This is normal and expected behaviour).
1 - Are you running the command from inside the "kodi-alexa-master" folder? If not you should be.
2 - Are you 100% sure that ".env" exists? Must be named without any other text. Like notepad in Windows will try to save it as .env.txt and if you don't have windows set up to show file extensions you may not notice.
Regards
Simon
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - bernardlowe - 2016-12-27
hiya
cheers for the update - awesome stuff.
having problems with the execution of add ons.....
if i say open youtube it opens youtube perfectly.
if i say open bbc iplayer or itv it just gives an error noise.

RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - danmedhurst - 2016-12-28
So, i've followed the guide on github, and i've run the test on the developer portal and it works, i see results from my Kodi pi and everything seems unky dory..
In the Alexa app on my phone, i can see the skill i've set up.
However, when talking to my Echo Dot, it just reponds "Sorry I didn't understand the question I heard"
I've deleted everything, (user, role, skill and app) twice and i get the same results..
Does anyone have any ideas how i get this bugger to work?
My invocation name is "the bed room".. i've also tried "cody" and "panasonic" with the same results.
Edit : I'm running on Lambda, and i've just changed the invocation name to "the bedroom" as that's what Alexa seems to be picking up. Wont be able to test it until later though.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - digiltd - 2016-12-28
Could there be a language (UK/US) conflict somewhere?
I would also avoid using "the" as part of an invocation name. Kodi should work ok.
What command are you trying to use? A good test command is "ask Alexa to play a random movie" as it doesn't conflict with Alexa stuff (play, pause, stop etc) and doesn't need to match a specific show or movie.

I used "the bedroom" as i saw that on another guide it was suspected that the "k" in ask was running in to the "k" at the start of the word "kodi"...
The command i've been trying is "Do i have a new film" but i've also tried many others..
I will experiment with some more invocation names tonight and see if any of them make any difference... is there a way to test that everything is working as it should with out the echo?

There isn't much we can do about this. I've noticed if I hit "no" on the "Did Alexa do what you wanted?" portion of the Cards, eventually it seems to improve. But that could be placebo.. hard to know unless Amazon tells us directly how they handle it all.

This still isn't working.. it either says, i couldn't understand or i'm not sure what went wrong
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - Boomstick - 2016-12-28
Hi,
I've been struggling with setting this up for a couple of days now. Firstly it was down to the whole setting up a region thing and the creation of the .env file. Sorted that finally and after installing and deploying Lambda, I get the following error:
Code:
