Guys, i have setup the skill now and when i am tzesting it on the skill page it recogines my utterance question:

Question "Welche serien gibt es" (english: which seriesdo i have)

Service request is:

Code:

{
  "session": {
    "sessionId": "SessionId.[removed]",
    "application": {
      "applicationId": "amzn1.ask.skill.[id removed ]"
    },
    "attributes": {},
    "user": {
      "userId": "amzn1.ask.account.[ID removed]"
    },
    "new": true
  },
  "request": {
    "type": "IntentRequest",
    "requestId": "EdwRequestId.[removed]",
    "locale": "de-DE",
    "timestamp": "2017-02-14T13:14:05Z",
    "intent": {
      "name": "WhatNewShows",
      "slots": {}
    }
  },
  "version": "1.0"
}

The name is "WhatNewShows" which should be correct, isnt it?
Sadly the service resoponse is:

Code:

The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid.

In the cloud log on this is it:

Code:

Sending request to http://[host]:[port]/jsonrpc

No JSON object could be decoded: ValueError
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/task/wsgi.py", line 1933, in lambda_handler

File "/var/task/wsgi.py", line 1410, in alexa_watch_next_episode
shows = kodi.GetTvShows()
File "/var/task/kodi.py", line 724, in GetTvShows

File "/var/task/kodi.py", line 143, in SendCommand
return json.loads(r.text)

return _default_decoder.decode(s)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 364, in decode
obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 382, in raw_decode
raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

The host is online and i can reach it from the internet! Also the slot generator works, so my port forwarding should be fine.
Any hint what i am doing wrong?

thanks

There's a cloud log! That would really be helpful. I have made revisions to kodi.py to do a couple of other home automation operations I need. There is a Try / Except structure in a Def that I can not get to work right. A look at the log would be a help.

How to you navigate to the log?

What home automation stuff are you trying to integrate?

There is an addon for kodi called "kodi callbacks" that lets you trigger stuff at specified states (on pause, on resume, on stop etc). I use that to tell openhab to dim the lights when playing a movie. It's in the official kodi repo.
