Yes, it should, assuming you're forwarding port 8080 on your router correctly to the machine on which Kodi is running.

Try first to connect to it over your LAN to make sure Kodi's JSON-RPC interface is actually enabled and working. In a browser on your LAN, use the local address of the machine for Kodi with port 8080.

I am able to view the web interface using 192.168.1.110:8080
However I am unable to view the same web interface when using public.ip:8080
I am gonna start working on my firewall... probably thats the reason?

I just loaded the latest update. Overall it works fine and it does seem to find albums easier. However, a new problem cropped up. Since I am running Kodi 18 that could be involved. Changing the volume result in "there was a problem with the requested skills response" The volume does change in spite of the error.

Can someone test this using Kodi 17? I am thinking its another Kodi 18 issue.

@bill-orange, what are you saying exactly to change the volume?

[bill_orange]

"Alexa, ask kodi media to set the volume to 75%" The volume sets correctly, then the error "there was a problem with the requested skills response" . So the volume command JSON works but the Skill chokes on the return string. It worked up until now. There have also been new Kodi nightly builds.

[jingai]

What does it say she heard in the Alexa App?

[bill_orange]

Nothing, except "there was a problem with the requested skills response".

P.S. Album recognition is much better. I used to get a timeout on "Alexa ask kodi media to play the Emerson, Lake and Palmer album Works vol 2" about 75% of the time. It is now selected correctly in a couple of seconds.

Marriage of Figaro used to also be problematic. It is found and played in a couple of seconds now.

Bill

[jingai]

@bill-orange, go to Settings->History in the Alexa App. It will say what she heard there.

[bill_orange]

Voice feedback
Alexa heard: "alexa ask kodi media to set the volume to seventy percent"

[jingai]

Sorry, I mistakenly added an optimization to the volume commands that I shouldn't have. I've fixed it upstream. If you want to update, you don't need to update the skill on the skill builder -- just update the skill code.

[bill_orange]

No problem. I loaded up the revised update. Unfortunately now I am still seeing the same issue.


Looks like the same error. Nothing odd on the reload to Lambda. Everything seemed to "take".

Kodi-Voice was updated to 0.9.1 for you, right? Did you do:

Code:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Before updating?

[bill_orange]

Nope. Funny thing It works fine when I did it just now. Thanks!

Bill

Hi,

This looks like a great skill.

I do feel uncomfortable opening my Kodi box up to the internet though, are there any plans to implement WebSockets via a Kodi addon for the external connection? Would make it much more secure.

Thanks

[jingai]

I do feel uncomfortable opening my Kodi box up to the internet though, are there any plans to implement WebSockets via a Kodi addon for the external connection? Would make it much more secure.

Not currently, sorry. For now, your options to secure things are:

1) A reverse HTTPS proxy installed locally, or,
2) Host the skill locally (via Apache, nginx, etc).
