yeah i seem to get the same problem if i use docker. it seems to authenticate if you run it via windows

Hi Helmut,
i have exactly the same problem (language german, Fritzbox, AWS, k.o.d.i) and also took the same steps to find a solution. Unfortunately nothing helps. I suspect it is because the app is written for Python 2.7, but with AWS only 3.7/3.9 is possible.
Have you already found a solution?

I refer to this Helmut

Just one question : does Alexa plays specific music video ? Example :"Alexa, plays Sting - Russians"

[brad3rs]

Hi Udzi,
did you ever get around this problem, does kanzi even work if you can't select python 2.7 on aws?

thanks.

[Udzi]

No, sadly not...i've dropped Kanzi at all

[brad3rs]

Thanks for getting back to me Udzi, shame the developer doesn't update it, maybe he will.
I've been using this https://kodi-connect.github.io/ on Kodi leia and it's working well and easy to set up 👍
Thanks again.

It is impossible for me to get the authorization token, I always get an Access Denied error in amazon. Has anyone had this error and managed to fix it?

[gromgsxr]

Last time I looked at it I couldn't get it to work if deploying it in docker but did work when running in Windows

[adamantium]

I tried now docker with linuxserver/kanzi.
but every time i am receiving a bad request by giving it the key.
user: default
on the amazon IAM console its the same name: default
I tried it many times, tried the hidden key, renew the keys, made new user with other names, nothing. bad request. why?




yes I copied the displayed link..... Alexa Skills Kit Tools are added

now iam receiving there only this

I had this same problem, the code is in the URL - you can see it in your screenshot :o

Copy where it says code= up to the &

I just setup Kanzi last night using docker, it's so easy it sets up the skill for you. It's a shame to see this dying/becoming deprecated by lsio, I haven't been able to find anything better.

The kodi-connnect also appears dead, and it relies on someone elses server to send commands to your kodi - no thanks!!

[adamantium]

Yes, the code is in the URL !! Ignore the fact that the XML shows "AccessDenied", it still works. Get the code from the URL where it says code=<YOUR CODE IS HERE>&scope

[adamantium]

Whoops, sorry - didn't mean to make so many posts..

[C0101]

Yes, the code is in the URL !! Ignore the fact that the XML shows "AccessDenied", it still works. Get the code from the URL where it says code=<YOUR CODE IS HERE>&scope

Thanks that worked for me but…


I have managed to complete all the steps but it does not work.  On AWS I can't select Python 2.7, and whenever I run a command it says there was an error with my skill...
It's a shame but none of the Alexa Skills for Kodi Matrix seem to work

[adamantium]

Since you can't use AWS Lambda's for Kanzi at the moment (or maybe ever unless someone converts the script to py3?), can you use one of the other hosting methods? Heroku, self host with docker, or just self host? I went with self host with docker, you can probably get it to work with a pi even. You only need the python 2.7 lambda if you're attempting to host on AWS, but there are other options.. albeit maybe harder ones to setup

[madalone]

hi, i went the self-hosting through docker way because i'm running Kodi in OSMC on a raspberry pi, but it errors out here:
✖ Update slot values
   → Kodi server configuration settings are wrong. Please double-check kodi.config to make sure it is setup properly.

tried tethering the pi to my phone but it fails to download the source code, even though my phone has working internet.

i've gone through this post but i can't see where i'm failing.

does anyone have a clue what am i doing wrong?

this is my kodi.config:

# By default, if you ask to play media without specifying the type, the skill
# will search through the entire library to find a match.
#
# For example, if you ask, "Alexa, ask Kodi to play ninety nine red balloons,"
# the skill will search library items in the following order to find the song:
#
#   Movies -> Shows -> Artists -> Songs -> Albums
#
# If your library is really large, this can take some time to complete.  While
# it will eventually execute, Alexa may report that the skill timed out.  If
# this behavior bothers you, you can disable deep searches.
