Python issue

davo2001

Hi all,

First of all, sorry if this is on the wrong forum, mods, feel free to move it necessary.

Basically, I'm trying to get my amazon echo dot to work in conjunction with Kodi on my raspberry pi, I'm following the instructions here.

All is going fine until i run "C:\Python27\Scripts\lambda-deploy.exe deploy" (under step 4) and i get the following output:



Any ideas how to set the region, sorry if this seems like a simple problem. I'm running the process on a virtual machine (Win7) on the same subnet as the Pi running Kodi, but getting the exact same issue if i run it on a physical Win10 machine.

Any feedback welcome.

Do you have to set a region in a config file somewhere?

Edit:

Yes, check your .env file. I'm guessing it's either not found/readable or the value for the region isn't set.

Thanks for the quick response, below is the .env file, region is set to "us-east-1" but i also get the same output if i set it to "GM"

# The Kodi webserver only supports HTTP.
# Uncomment KODI_SCHEME to tell the skill to use https between AWS and your local network
# (only use if you have already set this up with your own certificates)
#
# KODI_SCHEME = https

# If using a reverse proxy you might need to add an extra bit to the url before "jsonrpc"
# You can do this with KODI_SUBPATH (don't use slashes before or after)
#
# KODI_SUBPATH =

KODI_ADDRESS = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
KODI_PORT = xxxxx
KODI_USERNAME = xxxxxxxxxxx
KODI_PASSWORD = xxxxxxxxxxxx

SKILL_APPID =

# Your local time zone for responses that include absolute times.
# See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
#
# For example, if you are in the Eastern US time zone, you would use:
# SKILL_TZ = US/Eastern
#
# Leave empty or undefined (commented out) if you don't need or want absolute
# time responses. An example is asking when the currently playing item will
# end. If you have SKILL_TZ defined, it will also tell you the wall-clock
# time when the item will conclude.
#SKILL_TZ = US/Eastern

LAMBDA_ENV_VARS = KODI_SCHEME,KODI_ADDRESS,KODI_PORT,KODI_SUBPATH,KODI_USERNAME,KODI_PASSWORD,SKILL_APPID,SKILL_TZ

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION = us-east-1
LAMBDA_TIMEOUT = 60
LAMBDA_MEMORY_SIZE = 128
LAMBDA_HANDLER = wsgi.lambda_handler

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
LAMBDA_ROLE = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Try AWS region: eu-west-1

Apologies if this is an obvious question, what's the name of your .env file?

Sorry, I missed your post, there actually is no name, just .env, should I rename it to something? See below.

Nope, .env is correct.

davo2001

Dang, anyone have any other ideas?

I have no experience in what your doing but when I'm certain the env var is correct I'd try adding single quotes on to your region string 'eu-west-1'

It looks like you have file extensions hidden. The file in the zip is called .env.lambda and in your screenshot it's showing as a "LAMBDA file".

You should rename it to .env.

ren .env.lambda .env

Well spotted you.

Thanks very much, that seems to have resolved the issue. Much appreciated.

Quick tip - Un-hide file extensions. If you're developing, it's always useful to know what you're working with.
