Hi All,
Been trying to set this up for 2 days, keeps hanging on Deploy skill, i believe i have followed instructions correctly, could i kindly request some assistance with below, not sure where I went wrong.
1. I have setup appropriate external access to kodi via dyndns host name and port
2. created user "kodi-alexa" in IAM with AmazonS3FullAccess & AdministratorAccess
3. Setup Amazon S3 bucket with full associated full access policy below to above user under bucket policy section
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "Policy1553677XXXXXX9",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt1553677XXXXX",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXX:user/kodi-alexa"
},
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws
3:::
kodi-alexa-12345678"
}
]
}
4. setup skill as per instructions in guide and uploaded zip
5. left device id section untouched in config file as I cant get device ids as skill is not deployed. (not sure about this)
here is my config example with bold default edit outs:
Global configuration
#
[global]
# Currently supported languages: en, de, fr
language = en
# By default, if you ask to play media without specifying the type, the skill
# will search through the entire library to find a match.
#
# For example, if you ask, "Alexa, ask Kodi to play ninety nine red balloons,"
# the skill will search library items in the following order to find the song:
#
# Movies -> Shows -> Artists -> Songs -> Albums
#
# If your library is really large, this can take some time to complete. While
# it will eventually execute, Alexa may report that the skill timed out. If
# this behavior bothers you, you can disable deep searches.
#
# When disabled, Alexa will simply provide help in the response directing you
# to issue a play command that includes the media type of the item.
deep_search = yes
# Limit number of items we add to playlists.
#
# Some requests will cause the skill to create a temporary playlist in Kodi
# before executing your command. This operation is expensive in Kodi, so we
# provide the option here to limit the number of items added.
#
# The default is 100 to match Kodi's own 'party mode.' Higher values will
# make these operations slower, but if your setup can handle it, you're free
# to set this to whatever you like.
#
# Set to an empty string for unlimited.
playlist_max_items = 100
# Search result limits for new (unwatched) Movies and Episodes.
#
# By default we ask kodi to return a max of 100 results per JSON request.
# Here you can set this figure to optimize the system for you.
# Results are always retrieved in order of newest episodes and movies first.
#
# Lower figures will produce faster results and limit them to only media that
# you've recently added to the library.

Thank you kindly, any assistance with potential root causes would be greatly appreciated
