I've spent hours trying to get this to work with my new Fire TV Cube. I can smell victory but can't quite reach it! I'm up to the deploying stage (currently trying without AWS cache bucket but getting same result as when I was trying with the cache bucket) -
lexigram deploy kanzi
√ Check config file
√ Validate config file
√ Check skill directory
√ Remove old repo code
√ Download latest source code
√ Extract source code
√ Extract source code - Part 2
√ Update skill data
× Update slot values
→ Kodi server configuration settings are wrong. Please double-check kodi.config to make sure it is setup properly.

Error: Error talking to Kodi.
Changes made to kodi.config

# Set skill_id to enable verification of requests by Flask-Ask.
skill_id = amzn1.ask.skill.########-####-####-####-############

# The Kodi webserver only supports HTTP, but if you've set up a reverse HTTPS

# 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).

Note that if I perform ask deploy from the kanzi folder I get the following
-------------------- Update Skill Project --------------------
Skill Id: amzn1.ask.skill.########-####-####-####-############
Skill deployment finished.
Model deployment finished.
[Warn]: Lambda deployment skipped, since AWS credentialsfor profile: [default] is missing. CLI lambda functionalities can be enabled by running `ask init` again to add 'aws_profile' to ASK cli_config
Your skill is now deployed and enabled in the development stage.
Try invoking the skill by saying “Alexa, open {your_skill_invocation_name}” or simulate an invocation via the `ask simulate` command.
I'm clearly missing something here and have seen numerous posts from others who seem to have got to this stage. I have reached the same stage on a MacBook Pro and a Windows 10 machine (starting from fresh on each on numerous occasions). I'm assuming this whole process should work for Kodi sideloaded onto a Fire Cube in the same manner as a Firestick?
Any clues or suggestions would be very much appreciated. I'm at a complete dead end but feel I must be pretty close now...
