Having followed the how to geek and github, felt like everything was set-up perfect. But Alexa was having troubles talking to Kodi.
I found the howtogeek easiest to follow using windows and python 2.7.
I found the test page on aws also very useful, could have done with this being highlighted in howtogeek to check it is all working.
At first i tried
"ask living room to play a movie"
I got "There was an error calling the remote endpoint, which returned HTTP 500 : Internal Server Error"
Turns out this was my mistake, i had the wrong password in my .env file, so i ran the zappa update dev command
Then the test page was working but still alexa was having troubles.
I solved this by adding UK language, I am in the UK and have a UK Echo. So not sure if this was the issue but after adding UK it worked, I deleted US language and it still worked.
Now randomly going through my music and movie collection and the hit rate is very high!!
Thanks - love this skill
