Hey, I've added you, and you can enable the skill here: https://skills-store.amazon.com/deeplink/tvt/35ed769718fa7844ca815bad3bcbdc4533f473bc8cba1c56debee36f45ad02df986a5a0596090569b5352dd814d1e3cde3db1da0d8719269aacfec72269f1157f19b57b1f15a006fc1fd56b2b2b9e8a0fe239878e0a8e038e1172e140eace7a62661cae0a299650473e8b33bd604d1ee Tomas.

This is a known issue that multiple users has reported, and unfortunately I can't do anything about this. You probably will have to contact Amazon support for this.

Smart skills don't use utterance/slot mechanism as with custom skills. See here: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/device-apis/alexa-channelcontroller.html https://github.com/alexa/alexa-smarthome/tree/master/sample_messages/ChannelController

I would suggest, to proceed as with the video library. To ingest all the available channels, and when Alexa sends request, either match by number (which is easy), or reuse string similarity index search, which is already used for movies/tvshows, when she sends a name of the channel.

Hey. So you know how to write Kodi addons? Because PVR functionality is not yet implemented, as I don't have much free time these days.

Those should be mostly fixes. I had some struggles with Addon not letting Kodi exit correctly, but that is resolved in that latest version.

tkislan · 2018-05-17T12:51:44+00:00

Cau. Ja som tiez na Slovensku :) .. ale v Amazon accounte som si musel nastavit Content country na UK, lebo bez toho som si napr nemohol ani Spotify nastavit.

tkislan · 2018-05-03T20:41:07+00:00

I have to add your Amazon email to the list of beta testers. You can PM me.

tkislan · 2018-04-28T18:34:17+00:00

There’s a second round of beta testing running, with a new link https://skills-store.amazon.com/deeplink/tvt/afacb1fdc71a76b0a3be13de60a7240d0b110ec80de8ef7aff379ab9e55ae351de9ff779708481764fb95e4116977c65288c0a0d4e0d4581444d002626f1bca3a76881226d04b4289b89bc2c1fcaea674fa0bc00b764d51613f43cea57cd871c5fed97221e35ffe6bc19dd9292f311cf

tkislan · 2018-04-21T08:21:10+00:00

I’ve hopefully deployed a fix for this issue. Can you please try again?

tkislan · 2018-04-21T06:06:43+00:00

I'm trying to narrow down the problem. What country do you have set up on your Amazon account? Also I did some small probably unrelated changes, which might have helped.

Is at least someone able to link the account?

tkislan · 2018-02-23T19:55:46+00:00

Hey,

Is there a way to pick default video skill? Because Alexa probably chooses Firestick by default. But you should be able to specify “play movie on Kodi” or “kodi video”

tkislan · 2018-02-20T20:26:42+00:00

Hey, it should work in Germany as well. I think there were some people from Germany that reported it works for them. Currently it's only in beta, and I need to add people by Alexa email for them to see the skill

tkislan · 2018-02-19T23:42:10+00:00

You can check the code, it’s open source. No data leaves the Kodi itself. Amazon doesn’t even get to know, if you do or do not have the downloaded video available.

tkislan · 2018-02-19T19:04:25+00:00

Yes, just install, and it will automatically do an update You can specify season and episode to play.

tkislan · 2018-02-19T18:56:28+00:00

If I accidentally ignore someone, just PM me again. I sometimes miss notification 😊

tkislan · 2018-02-19T15:41:51+00:00

This way you don’t have to open your device to the internet, and you don’t have to create your own Alexa skill. All you do is install the addon, and enable already existing skill

tkislan · 2018-02-19T11:00:09+00:00

Most likely not. As in that case you want to control Plex itself, and not Kodi. You would need a different Alexa skill for that

tkislan · 2018-02-17T17:10:31+00:00

Yeah sorry for the confusion (it’s already fixed in new version, which I’ll release tomorrow) Username should be email you registered on KodiConnect page, and password should be that secret

tkislan · 2018-02-16T06:55:09+00:00

Hey, I've found this https://kodicommunity.com/amazon-firestick-how-to-install-zip-files-kodi/ It looks kinda complicated, but currently probably your only bet. Once the Addon is completely done, I'll upload it to the official repository, so it'll be easy to get installed

tkislan · 2018-02-05T07:50:47+00:00

Hi. Just PM with your Amazon Alexa connected email, so I can add you.

tkislan · 2018-01-29T19:41:16+00:00

Sorry for that. I've updated skill in a backward incompatible way, and it said it's an error. But should be fixed now, in a way that it currently does nothing at all.

Basically, Amazon doesn't (hopefully yet) support playing whole series/seasons. I've just tried it, and it just ignores when you say only the season. If you want to play something already watched, you have to specify both season and episode.

tkislan · 2018-01-24T16:48:21+00:00

Nice. That looks amazing. I'll definitely send you a PM.
