RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - deboyd - 2017-02-10
@digiltd Thank you for pointing me towards the updated procedure. I took your advice and started from ground zero. All new AWS IAM users and roles. All new files from your link: git clone https://github.com/m0ngr31/kodi-alexa.git. This time I ran the commands:
pip install lambda-deploy
python deploy-to-lambda.py
Still, the .env file did not deploy to lambda. I am 100% positive I have set up my .env file correctly. What else could be the problem? Any thoughts?
Cheers!

The .env won't deploy/upload itself to lambda like the other files. The lambda-deploy command reads the file locally and sets the environment variables directly on the server. This is a security measure.
What is the error message? Is it the same as before about the aws regions?
Oh, and what operating system are you using?

@digiltd There is no error message this time as I was not using the command prompt. This time, I just double clicked the "pip install lambda-deploy" and "python deploy-to-lambda.py" python files to run them. The black console box opened up on the screen and ran the code, then disappeared again. I am assuming this is the correct way to run those commands?
I am running Windows 10.
I feel that due to my coding noobness, I am missing an obvious step here.

Please try this exactly and post exactly the results you get:
"Alexa, ask Kodi to watch season 1 episode 1 of Seinfeld"
I asked exactly as you stated and it took me to amazon video. Seinfeld is the heading and there are 2 buttons "Watch Now with Hulu 1 Week Free Trial" and "Seasons & Episodes". Any suggestions?

The mind boggles, I'm not even sure how you would click "pip install lambda-deploy"
There does seem to be quite a bit of learning ahead of you in order to set this up. There was a good video posted a few pages back that went through the steps and gave a little explanation about they did. I suggest you watch that first all the way through, and then try to follow along.
The Skill setup process is changing quite a bit (though not really making initial setup any easier) in an upcoming update and that video will not be relevant. But if you have no idea about what you are doing, it is a starting point that explains some of the concepts.
Good luck

What took you there? Are you using Alexa on an Echo or a Fire device?

I am trying to set this up and keep gettting the error
File "deploy-to-lambda.py", line 34
print subprocess.Popen("lambda-deploy deploy", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read()

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Anyone know of a fix?

And you have the Skill enabled on the Fire Stick? i.e. you can see it when you use the Alexa app > Skills > My Skills?
I don't know much about the Fire Stick but from what I have read it seems it should be compatible with all the Skills from the skill store and the Dev blog mentions that you can test Skills on the Fire Stick.
Are you running Kodi on the stick as well?
RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - aesthetiker - 2017-02-13
Did you plan LiveTV support for this echo skill? That would be just awesome

I have subscribed to this thread now and am also offering help in case it's needed for the translation!
All the best!

and all other german people
I have found this amazing german guide: https://www.amzecho.de/wiki/anleitungen:smart_home:alexa_kodi_verknuepfung
And at the bottom of the guide, there are the german translated files (alexa.utterances & wsgi.py)
Updating my skill right now to test those out!

RE: Amazon Echo skill for Kodi - jingai - 2017-02-14
@popy, we have the skill translated to German already, but you'll need to wait for the 2.5 release. Hopefully soon!
