Thanks, but I think wires got crossed on a post where I was helping someone out, as I am not having any issues with my setup
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - Gibsarno - 2017-01-09
Sorry for the stupid questions but should my .env file be in the same folder as lambda deploy?
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - jingai - 2017-01-09
Yes.

It should be in the same folder as kodi.py, wsgi.py and deploy-to-lambda.py
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - cozi_andrew - 2017-01-09
for all us that are 'stuck' with this can someone PLEASE who has it running fine, back-up their copy of kodi (using backup app in kodi) with alexa built in and post it so we can download it and enjoy this wonderful kodi/alexa addon.

The only thing "inside" Kodi is enabling the web interface (http://kodi.wiki/view/web_interface)
Everything else is covered in the instructions in the link in 1st post ...
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - Gibsarno - 2017-01-09
Thanks for the help, just one more question when I try to run python deploy-to-lambda.py in terminal it says it can't find file even though I'm directing it to the folder that it's in.
Is there a walk through for this part on mac? As I'm sure it's not as hard as I seem to be making it.

It can't find which file?
What is the error message?
You are running on a Mac so we can assume you have Python working (macOS has a version built in) but just to be sure open a new Terminal and type
Code:
python --versionIt should display the version number, it should be some variation of 2.7. As long as it is, and is not version 3, then you should be ok.
Then type
Code:
pip --versionIf it finds pip copy and paste what it outputs.
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - lurkio321 - 2017-01-09
i have this set up, but it seems to be stuck after adding a custom slot MOVIES. it's stuck updating
Please wait while this Alexa skill is updated... has been for about 20 minutes, is this normal ?

RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - goldari - 2017-01-09
Hi,
d
Thank you to developers who documented, developed and made this wonderful package work!!!!
Sorry for been absolute nob on first post, couple questions.
I see there is a new release, can I update this on top of my working environment or new setup?
Only command that seems to work "Alexa, ask tv to play die hard", any other movie I say ends up as "random movie", even thought the app shows correct movie is said and registered...why is this? The movie is available, and in the custom slot
Regards
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - digiltd - 2017-01-09
@Gibsarno
Ok, I think all caps for PYTHON --VERSION was causing it to fail. I can see it is installed from the error message for pip.
The short answer is it is a permissions issue. Your Python is installed in /Library which means you need to run the command as an admin user.
It is tricky to know what to recommend, there is a very simple answer which is run the
Code:
pip install lambda-deployCode:
sudo pip install lambda-deployUsing sudo is very risky and especially if you do not know what you are doing. So I advise against it as you do not want to be installing anything in the system version of Python, though I think you may have already done so with pip.
You should not have to use sudo for python etc on mac. You do this by running "local" versions that are kept separate from the system version.
The easiest way to do this is by using homebrew http://brew.sh/
Follow the instructions on the homepage, you only have to copy and paste one line, but DO NOT use sudo to run it. Homebrew does a great job at keeping separate at a user level, so you should never use sudo.
After installing you run
Code:
brew install pythonAfter you have done that and followed the instructions, close terminal and open it again. Try
Code:
which pythonCode:
where pythonCode:
which pipCode:
where pipWhat this does is ask "which is the version of python/pip ready to use?" and "where are the versions of python/pip on my system?"
You should see something like:
If "which python" and "which pip" are both reporting /usr/local/bin/python then you can install lambda-deploy using
Code:
pip install lambda-deployThen fingers crossed, when you cd into your kodi-alexa-master folder, you should be able to run
Code:

You can update, it does vary depending on how you originally install, just search this thread for "update" for info

I think this might be a bug, it also happens to me sometimes. But other commands should work like "ask tv to pause" ask tv what is playing" etc. Are they not?

Yes. Update the code locally, then add any new slots (and fill them using the slot generator) to your skill on the Amazon skill developer site. While still on the Amazon skill developer site, update the utterances and intents at the same time. Finally, deploy the new code to Lambda.
You need to do the above every time the you want to deploy a new version of the code.

The incantation is, "Alexa, ask tv to play movie die hard". Currently you need to specify the media type.
This will change soon, but we're in the middle of restructuring the code at the moment.
