Yup, that is enough.

any advice please?

I have close to 2000+ movies in my library, do i need to add all of these movies in the Custom Slots for MOVIES with a concatenation?
That will be a massive effort..
Or just a few movies for the sake of examples will do?

[jingai]

@skydancer, try this in your virtualenv and see if the problem goes away:

Code:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install packaging
zappa update dev

@MANswers, you're going to want to read the documentation a lot more carefully. You're going to run into a lot of issues if you just skim through it.

The documentation pretty clearly points you at two different ways to generate the slot contents.

[MANswers]

Ok, i get it now, I was able to paste the movies generated by the slot generator site.
However here's a quick question.. i only see close to 100 movies showing up in the slot generator. the rest of the 1900 movies do not show up. What am i doing wrong.

[jingai]

Nothing. The Slot generators trim it to fit size requirements.

The slots are just examples. They don't need to contain every single library item.

Thanks for your replies, this helps.

I have completed the setup, and did not receive any errors so far.
I have the portfowarding also working fine through my firewall. Checked 8080 is open.
However Echo still does not recognize the Kodi skill/keyword.
First it was saying it cannot find the skill kodi, and now for the last 5 mins its saying that "there is a problem with the requested skill response".
I am wondering if i did something wrong in the kodi.config file. Can you verify these two things for me?

Do i need to add my public IP here or this is just fine?

# The Kodi webserver only supports HTTP, but if you've set up a reverse HTTPS
# proxy you can change this to https.
scheme = http
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 8080
# If using a reverse proxy you might need to add an extra bit to the url
# before "jsonrpc" (don't use slashes before or after).
subpath =
username = kodi
password = 0000

Do i need to change the address here to Local IP address instead of "living-room-kodi"
# living room dot
[amzn1.ask.device.XXX]
address = living-room-kodi

[jingai]

@MANswers, the IP address should be your public (internet) IP address. If this isn't static, you will want to use a dynamic DNS like dyndns, noip, etc.

If you have more than one Kodi device you want to control, you will have to forward different ports. The port can be 8080 on all of the Kodi clients, but the ports opened on your router will all have to be different, of course.

[MANswers]

Does this look ok ? Please check the last line as well (i have confusions about this one).

# The Kodi webserver only supports HTTP, but if you've set up a reverse HTTPS
# proxy you can change this to https.
scheme = http
address = "static public ip here"
port = 8080
# If using a reverse proxy you might need to add an extra bit to the url
# before "jsonrpc" (don't use slashes before or after).
subpath =
username = kodi
password = 0000

Do i need to change the address here to Local IP address instead of "living-room-kodi"
# living room dot
[amzn1.ask.device.XXX]
address = "Static public ip here"

[jingai]

Are you trying to control more than one instance of Kodi? If not, you don't need the device ID sections at all.

If you are, you'll want to override port -- not address -- if they're all behind the same public address.

[MANswers]

I am sorry about all these posts. I am just in the final bit, and after all this work, i am stuck at a very silly point. I assure you, i have read the git page word to word, and have followed every bit of instructions.
But after replacing the public ip now, i got this error.. is this cos of port forwarding or something else?

P.s. I have replaced the host ip address with xxx

I am controlling only one instance. And its on my PC based media server.

[jingai]

That log is stating simply that the skill is unable to connect to Kodi. This could mean one or more of many things:

1) The IP/host you entered is wrong,
2) Your port-forwarding configuration is wrong,
3) Kodi isn't running,
4) Kodi's web server isn't running/enabled,
5) The username and/or password for the Kodi web server is wrong.

[MANswers]

Question.. For testing purposes should the public ip and the port number togather (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080) should show up the kodi web interface?
If thats the case, its not showing up for me..
