Release Amazon Echo Alexa Video Skill for Kodi

Thanks for your prompt reply. It never occurred to me that krypton 17.4 is old.

Anyway I’ve also been working on it today and instead of disabling the scene and activity on Harmony Hub, I have just renamed it to be something other than Kodi.

It seems that Alexa was really sending the instructions through to the hub instead of the Kodi instance. As soon as I renamed it the Kodi. Commands started working properly.

Perhaps good to note this in your documentation moving forward, that the Kodi Connect device name should be unique within your network

So nothing wrong at all except that Alexa was confused.

Thanks so much for this. It’s truly awesome.

Actually I spoke too soon.

Only the playback functions within a movie were working. Pause, resume, fast forward 20 seconds, etc.

Once the movie was ended, it proved impossible to do a find or play command. Alexa interprets it properly and says things like “getting Interstellar from Kodi Video” but absolutely no reaction in the UI.

I also followed your advice and upgraded to Krypton 17.6 the latest stable release of Kodi.

No change at all except the commands within movie playback no longer work.

I’m completely at a loss now. I even rebuilt the Echo Dot from scratch.

Also no improvement.

It’s basically a dead duck here.

So please let me know what I can get you to help understand this problem.
