Remote controls are so 1950. If you have a Kodi media center and an Amazon Echo, you can play all your favorite movies and shows with a well-placed voice command…if you’re willing to do a little setup.

1950年就是这样的遥控器。如果您有Kodi媒体中心和Amazon Echo，则可以通过适当放置的语音命令播放所有喜欢的电影和节目……如果您愿意进行一些设置。

The Amazon Echo is, in our opinion, one of the coolest parts of a smart home. Controlling your lights, blinds, and TV with your phone is cool, but controlling them with your voice is truly the future. I was skeptical, but quickly became impressed—and hungry for more.

我们认为， 亚马逊Echo是智能家居中最酷的部分之一 。 用手机控制灯光，百叶窗和电视很酷，但用语音控制它们确实是未来。 我对此表示怀疑，但很快就留下了深刻的印象，并渴望获得更多。

Being able to turn my TV on is cool, but what I really wanted was to be able to control my media center. I wanted to be able to say “Play the next episode of Friends” and have it search my library, see what I watched last, and start playing the subsequent episode. And after a bit of searching, I found that one enterprising programmer named Joe Ipson had already done just that.

能够打开电视很酷，但是我真正想要的是能够控制我的媒体中心。 我希望能够说“播放下一个情节”并让它搜索我的媒体库，看看我上次观看的内容，然后开始播放下一个情节。 经过一番搜索，我发现一个名叫Joe Ipson的进取程序员已经做到了 。

This takes a little bit of setup, and it looks very intimidating at first. You’ll need to create a web server, push some code from GitHub, and do a little work from the command line, but you don’t need to be a programmer to get this up and running. Ipson has done almost all the heavy lifting, and you just need to copy his code, edit a few parts, and upload it to the right place. If you follow this guide to the letter, you should be up and running in no time.

这需要一些设置，一开始看起来很吓人。 您将需要创建一个Web服务器，从GitHub推送一些代码，并从命令行进行一些工作，但是您无需成为程序员即可启动并运行它。 Ipson几乎完成了所有繁重的工作，您只需要复制他的代码，编辑一些部分，然后将其上传到正确的位置。 如果您按照本指南进行操作，则应立即启动并运行。

NOTE: We’re using Amazon Web Services for this tutorial, since it’s the most reliable. If you’re a new AWS user, Ipson says you should be able to run the skill for free for about a year, after which you’ll be charged less than 20¢ per month. If you want something truly free, you could set it up using Heroku instead, replacing steps two, three, and four of this guide with the Heroku instructions in Ipson’s documentation. It is, however a little less reliable, and some requests may time out when you use it.  We recommend AWS if you want the best experience possible—it’s well worth the meager 20¢ per month.

注意：由于本教程最可靠，因此我们正在使用Amazon Web Services。 Ipson说，如果您是AWS新用户，则应该可以免费运行该功能大约一年，然后每月需要支付不到20美分的费用。 如果您想要真正免费的东西，可以改用Heroku进行设置，用Ipson文档中的Heroku说明代替本指南的第二，第三和第四步。 但是，它的可靠性稍差一些，使用时某些请求可能会超时。 如果您想获得最好的体验，我们建议您使用AWS-每月仅需20美分是非常值得的。

第一步：准备您的Kodi Web服务器 (Step One: Prepare Your Kodi Web Server)

In order for this to work, Kodi will need to have a server accessible from the web. Thankfully, this is built into Kodi, though you may need to forward some ports on your router and perform some other tasks before it works smoothly.

为了使其正常工作，Kodi将需要有一个可从网络访问的服务器。 幸运的是，这是Kodi内置的，尽管您可能需要转发路由器上的某些端口并执行一些其他任务才能使其正常运行。

Open Kodi on your media center and head to System > Services > Web Server. Enable the web server if it isn’t enabled already, and give it a username and password. Be sure to use a password you don’t use for any other service.

在媒体中心上打开Kodi，然后转到“系统”>“服务”>“ Web服务器”。 启用Web服务器(如果尚未启用)，并为其提供用户名和密码。 确保使用您不用于其他任何服务的密码。

You will also need the public IP address for your home. However, since this can change, we highly recommend signing up for a dynamic domain name using a service like Dynu. Follow our guide here before continuing if you don’t already have one.

您还将需要家里的公共IP地址 。 但是，由于这可以更改，因此我们强烈建议您使用Dynu之类的服务来注册动态域名。 如果您还没有，请先按照我们的指南进行操作，然后再继续。

Lastly, you’ll need to set up port forwarding for your Kodi box. This will differ from router to router, but you can check out our guide here for more information. Just forward any external port to the local IP address of your Kodi box (in my case, 192.168.1.12) and local port (8080 by default).

最后，您需要为Kodi盒设置端口转发。 路由器之间的差异会有所不同，但是您可以在此处查看我们的指南以了解更多信息。 只需将任何外部端口转发到Kodi盒的本地IP地址(在我的情况下为192.168.1.12)和本地端口(默认为8080)即可。

NOTE: while Kodi’s local port is 8080 by default, you can change it to whatever you want—or you can forward it to a different external port to make sure there are no complications (since other apps may ask for port 8080). I’m using 8080 in this tutorial, but if you use something different, just replace all instances of port 8080 with the external port you choose here.

注意：虽然Kodi的本地端口默认为8080，但是您可以将其更改为所需的任何端口，也可以将其转发到其他外部端口以确保没有任何麻烦(因为其他应用程序可能要求使用8080端口)。 我在本教程中使用的是8080，但是如果使用其他方法，只需将端口8080的所有实例替换为您在此处选择的外部端口即可。

If all goes well, you should be able to access Kodi’s web interface by opening a web browser and typing in:

如果一切顺利，您应该可以通过打开网络浏览器并输入以下内容来访问Kodi的网络界面：

my.dynamic-domain.com:8080

where my.dynamic-domain.com is the URL of your dynamic domain, and 8080 is the port you set in Kodi. If that doesn’t work, make sure that Kodi, your dynamic domain, and your port forwarding were all set up properly.

其中my.dynamic-domain.com是您的动态域的URL，而8080是您在Kodi中设置的端口。 如果这不起作用，请确保正确设置了Kodi，您的动态域和端口转发。

第二步：设置您的Amazon Web Services帐户 (Step Two: Set Up Your Amazon Web Services Account)

Next, you’ll need to set up an account with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Head to this page and click “Create an AWS Account”. Log in with your Amazon credentials when prompted. If you don’t have an AWS account already, you’ll be asked to enter your contact info to create one. Be sure to check “Personal Account” along the top.

接下来，您需要使用Amazon Web Services(AWS)设置一个帐户。 转到此页面 ，然后单击“创建AWS账户”。 出现提示时，使用您的Amazon凭证登录。 如果您还没有AWS账户，将要求您输入联系信息以创建一个。 确保检查顶部的“个人帐户”。

Go through the rest of the steps in the wizard. You will also have to enter your credit card info, but don’t worry—like we said, you shouldn’t be charged very much, if at all (especially for the first 12 months).

完成向导中的其余步骤。 您还必须输入您的信用卡信息，但请不要担心-就像我们说的那样，即使有的话(尤其是在最初的12个月内)，也都无需向您收取太多费用。

After verifying your identity with your phone number, and selecting your support plan (we recommend Basic, which is free), click the “Complete Sign Up” button in the right corner of the screen. Amazon will then log you in.

使用电话号码验证您的身份并选择支持计划(我们建议您免费使用“基本”)后，单击屏幕右上角的“完成注册”按钮。 然后，Amazon将登录您。

Now head to the Identity and Access Management page (log back in to AWS if necessary) and click the “Users” tab on the left-hand side. Click the “Add User” button.

现在转到“ 身份和访问管理”页面 (如有必要，请登录到AWS)，然后单击左侧的“用户”选项卡。 点击“添加用户”按钮。

Create a new user with whatever username you want. Check the “Programmatic Access” box and click “Next: Permissions”.

使用所需的用户名创建一个新用户。 选中“程序访问”框，然后单击“下一步：权限”。

Next, you’ll be prompted to set permissions. Click “Attach Existing Policies Directly”, then search for “AdministratorAccess”. Check the AdministratorAccess option and click “Next: Review”.

接下来，系统将提示您设置权限。 单击“直接附加现有策略”，然后搜索“ AdministratorAccess”。 检查AdministratorAccess选项，然后单击“下一步：查看”。

Make sure your user looks like the image below, then click “Create User”.

确保您的用户如下图所示，然后单击“创建用户”。

Do not close the next page! You’ll need to grab the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key here (you’ll need to click “Show” to show your secret key). Copy them to a text file for safe keeping, because you won’t be able to get the secret key again after you leave this page.

不要关闭下一页！ 您需要在此处获取访问密钥ID和秘密访问密钥(您需要单击“显示”以显示您的密钥)。 将它们复制到文本文件中以确保安全，因为离开该页面后将无法再次获取密钥。

Once you have those written down, you can close that window safely.

写下这些内容后，就可以安全地关闭该窗口。

第三步：安装Python 2.7并设置变量 (Step Three: Install Python 2.7 and Set Up Your Variables)

In order to push Ipson’s code to AWS, you’ll need Python 2.7 installed on your computer. We’ll be using Windows in this tutorial, but you should be able to do this on macOS and Linux as well.

为了将Ipson的代码推送到AWS，您需要在计算机上安装Python 2.7。 在本教程中，我们将使用Windows，但是您也应该能够在macOS和Linux上执行此操作。

To install Python on Windows, head to Python’s download page and download Python 2.7. Run the installer like you would any other Windows program. Use the default selections, as we’ll need some of the tools that come with Python’s installer.

要在Windows上安装Python，请转到Python的下载页面并下载Python 2.7。 像运行其他Windows程序一样运行安装程序。 使用默认选项，因为我们需要Python安装程序随附的一些工具。

Then, click here to download Ipson’s code. Unzip the kodi-alexa-master folder within the ZIP file somewhere on your hard drive.

然后， 单击此处下载Ipson的代码。 在硬盘驱动器上某处的ZIP文件中解压缩kodi-alexa-master文件夹。

Once installed, it’s time to dig into the command line. Press Windows+X on your keyboard and choose “Command Prompt”. (Mac and Linux users will want to open their respective Terminal apps). From there, run the following two commands, one after the other:

安装完成后，就该深入研究命令行了。 在键盘上按Windows + X，然后选择“命令提示符”。 (Mac和Linux用户将要打开各自的终端机应用程序)。 从那里运行以下两个命令，一个接一个：

C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install awscli

C:\Python27\Scripts\aws configure

This will install the AWS command line tools and launch the configuration tool.

这将安装AWS命令行工具并启动配置工具。

Paste your Acces Key ID and Secret Access Key when prompted. When asked for your Default Region Name, type us-east-1 (if you’re in the US) or eu-west-1 (if you’re in Europe). You can leave your Default Output Format empty (just press Enter).

出现提示时，粘贴您的Acces密钥ID和秘密访问密钥。 当询问您的默认区域名称时，键入us-east-1 (如果在美国)或eu-west-1 (如果在欧洲)。 您可以将“默认输出格式”保留为空(只需按Enter)。

Next, run the following command:

接下来，运行以下命令：

C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install virtualenv

You’ll need this installed for later.

您将需要安装此软件以备后用。

Now CD into your kodi-alexa-master folder with the following command:

现在，使用以下命令将光盘放入您的kodi-alexa-master文件夹：

CD C:\Users\Whitson\Documents\Code\kodi-alexa-master

Obviously, replace the file path with the path to wherever you saved your kodi-alexa-master folder.

显然，将文件路径替换为保存kodi-alexa-master文件夹的路径。

Keep the window open for now, we’ll need to come back to it in a moment.

现在让窗口保持打开状态，我们需要稍后再返回。

First, in order for Ipson’s code to work with your Kodi and AWS setup, you’ll need to define a few variables in a configuration file. Download this template, rename it to kodi.config , and save it in your kodi-alexa-master folder. Open it in a code-friendly text editor like Notepad++, and edit the following four four variables:

首先，为了使Ipson的代码能够与Kodi和AWS设置一起使用，您需要在配置文件中定义一些变量。 下载此模板 ，将其重命名为kodi.config ，并将其保存在您的kodi-alexa-master文件夹中。 在代码友好的文本编辑器(如Notepad ++)中将其打开，然后编辑以下四个四个变量：

address =
port =
username =
password =

The address variable will be the dynamic address you set up in step one (e.g. my.dynamic-domain.com ), port will be the port you used in step one (likely 8080, unless you changed it), and username and password will be the credentials from step one.

address变量将是您在第一步中设置的动态地址(例如my.dynamic-domain.com )， port将是您在第一步中使用的端口(可能是8080，除非您更改了它)，并且username和password将是第一步的凭证。

If you have multiple Kodi boxes in your house, you can also use this config file to control them separately with Alexa. We won’t go through that in this guide, but you can find instructions in Ipson’s documentation here.

如果您家中有多个Kodi盒子，则还可以使用此配置文件通过Alexa分别控制它们。 我们不会在本指南中进行介绍，但是您可以在Ipson的文档中找到说明。

When you’re done, save the file and head back to your Command Prompt window.

完成后，保存文件并返回到“命令提示符”窗口。

第四步：将您的代码推送到AWS (Step Four: Push Your Code to AWS)

With those variables in place, your code is ready for deployment. Back in your Command Prompt, run these two commands:

有了这些变量，您的代码就可以部署了。 返回命令提示符，运行以下两个命令：

C:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv venv

venv\Scripts\activate.bat

This will create a new “virtual environment” and activate it.

这将创建一个新的“虚拟环境”并激活它。

From the venv prompt that appears, run the following commands:

在出现的venv提示符下，运行以下命令：

pip install -r requirements.txt

pip install packaging

pip install zappa

This will install a tool called Zappa, which will help you deploy your code.

这将安装一个名为Zappa的工具，该工具将帮助您部署代码。

Next, you’ll need to set up Zappa. Run:

接下来，您需要设置Zappa。 跑：

zappa init

It’ll take you through a wizard. Just accept the defaults for everything.

它会带您完成向导。 只需接受所有设置的默认值即可。

Lastly, run:

最后，运行：

zappa deploy dev

This will deploy your code to Lambda. It’ll take a few minutes, so let it run. At the end, it’ll give you a URL—copy this down, since you’ll need it in the next step.

这会将您的代码部署到Lambda。 这需要几分钟，所以让它运行。 最后，它将为您提供一个URL，将其复制下来，因为下一步需要使用它。

Lastly, I also recommend running the following command, since you’ll need the resulting files in the next step as well:

最后，我还建议运行以下命令，因为在下一步中还将需要生成的文件：

python generate_custom_slots.py

Make sure your Kodi box is turned on and running when you run this script, as it’ll be grabbing names of movies, shows, and other media from your library.

运行此脚本时，请确保您的Kodi框已打开并正在运行，因为它将从库中抓取电影，节目和其他媒体的名称。

You’re almost there! Now we just need to set up an Alexa skill for this code.

您快到了！ 现在，我们只需要为此代码设置Alexa技能即可。

第五步：创建您的Alexa技能 (Step Five: Create Your Alexa Skill)

To connect Ipson’s code with our Echo, we’ll need to create an Alexa “Skill” that uses that code. This app won’t be distributed to anyone, it’ll just be in “testing mode” forever, connected to your own Amazon account for use with your Echo.

要将Ipson的代码与我们的Echo连接起来，我们需要创建一个使用该代码的Alexa“技能”。 此应用程序不会分发给任何人，它将永远处于“测试模式”，并连接到您自己的Amazon帐户以与Echo一起使用。

To start, set up a free Amazon Developer account. Head to this page, log in with your Amazon account, and register for a developer account. Fill in the required fields, agree to the terms, and say “No” when you’re asked if you’re going to monetize your apps.

首先，设置一个免费的Amazon Developer帐户。 转到此页面 ，使用您的亚马逊帐户登录，然后注册一个开发人员帐户。 填写必填字段，同意条款，并在询问是否要通过应用获利时说“不”。

Once logged in, head to “Alexa” in the top toolbar. Click the “Get Started” button under “Alexa Skills Kit”.

登录后，转到顶部工具栏中的“ Alexa”。 单击“ Alexa技能套件”下的“入门”按钮。

Next, click the “Add a New Skill” button.

接下来，单击“添加新技能”按钮。

Give your skill a name—I called mine “Kodi”—and give it an invocation name. This is what you’ll say when you want to invoke a command. For example, my invocation name is also “the living room”, which means I’ll have to say “Ask the living room to…” to give Alexa commands for my media center.

给您的技能起一个名字，我叫“ Kodi”，并给它起一个调用名称。 这就是您要调用命令时要说的内容。 例如，我的调用名称也是“起居室”，这意味着我必须说“问起起居室……”才能为我的媒体中心发出Alexa命令。

In my experience, long invocation names work better than shorter ones. I used “Kodi” for awhile (“Ask Kodi to…”) but Alexa occasionally had trouble finding movies. I couldn’t tell you why, but longer invocation names like “the living room” work almost flawlessly for me. So try choosing something with a few syllables.

以我的经验，长调用名称比短调用的名称更好。 我使用了“科迪”一段时间(“请科迪去……”)，但Alexa有时很难找到电影。 我无法告诉您原因，但是更长的调用名称(如“起居室”)对我而言几乎可以正常工作。 因此，请尝试选择带有一些音节的单词。

Click Next when finished.

完成后单击“下一步”。

Click “Add Slot Type” button in the middle of the next window.

单击下一个窗口中间的“添加插槽类型”按钮。

Create a new slot called SHOWS. Head back to your kodi-alexa-master folder, open the SHOWS file with Notepad++, and copy the shows into the box on Amazon’s page. This will help Alexa recognize the shows you dictate to it.

创建一个名为SHOWS的新插槽。 回到您的kodi-alexa-master文件夹，使用Notepad ++打开SHOWS文件，然后将显示内容复制到Amazon页面上的框中。 这将帮助Alexa识别您要求的节目。

Alternatively, you can just list some of your TV shows in the box, one per line. You don’t need to add every show in your Kodi library, but it’s good to have a decent number of examples (I’ve found 20 or 30 is pretty good).

或者，您可以仅在框中列出一些电视节目，每行列出一个。 您无需在Kodi库中添加每个节目，但最好有很多示例(我发现20或30个很好)。

Click OK when finished.

完成后单击确定。

Repeat this process with these Slot Types: MOVIES, MOVIEGENRES, MUSICARTISTS, MUSICALBUMS, MUSICSONGS, MUSICPLAYLISTS, VIDEOPLAYLISTS, and ADDONS (If you don’t have information for any of these, create the slot type anyway—Ipson’s code requires it—and just write the word “Empty” in the box. It won’t cause any problems.)

使用以下广告位类型重复此过程：电影，电影，音乐，音乐，音乐，音乐播放列表，视频播放列表和广告(如果您没有任何信息，则无论如何都要创建广告位类型-艾普森的代码需要它-只是在框中输入“ Empty”一词，不会引起任何问题。)

Again, you don’t need every single show, movie, or artist in these slots, so you don’t need to update them every time you add a new movie to your library. It just helps to have a decent number of examples in each.

同样，您不需要这些插槽中的所有演出，电影或艺术家，因此无需在每次向库中添加新电影时都进行更新。 每个示例中都包含大量示例，这只会有所帮助。

When you’ve created all nine Slot Types, head back to the kodi-alexa-master folder. Open the speech_assets folder and open the IntentSchema.json and SampleUtterances.txt files with an app like Notepad++.

创建完所有九种插槽类型后，请回到kodi-alexa-master文件夹。 使用诸如Notepad ++之类的应用程序打开speech_assets文件夹并打开IntentSchema.json和SampleUtterances.txt文件。

Select all the text in the IntentSchema.json  file and paste it into the “Intent Schema” box on the Amazon Developer website. Repeat this process with the SampleUtterances.txt  file, placing the text in the “Sample Utterances” box.

选择IntentSchema.json文件中的所有文本，然后将IntentSchema.json粘贴到Amazon Developer网站上的“ Intent Schema”框中。 对SampleUtterances.txt文件重复此过程，将文本放在“ Sample Utterances”框中。

When you’re done, click Next. It may take a few moments to build the interaction model.

完成后，单击“下一步”。 构建交互模型可能需要一些时间。

On the next page, choose “HTTPS” for the Endpoint Type and paste in the URL you got at the end of Step Four. Choose your geographical region (North America or Europe) and select “No” for Account Linking. Click Next.

在下一页上，为“端点类型”选择“ HTTPS”，然后粘贴在第四步结束时获得的URL。 选择您的地理区域(北美或欧洲)，然后为帐户链接选择“否”。 点击下一步。

On the next page, select “My development endpoint is a subdomain of a domain that has a wildcard certificate from a certificate authority”. Click Next.

在下一页上，选择“我的开发终结点是具有来自证书颁发机构的通配符证书的域的子域”。 点击下一步。

You shouldn’t need to add any information on the Test page, though you can test certain aspects of the code if you know what you’re doing. Otherwise, click Next.

尽管您可以知道自己在做什么，但是可以测试代码的某些方面，尽管您可以在“测试”页面上添加任何信息。 否则，请单击“下一步”。

On the Publishing Information page, fill out the required fields—but don’t worry too much about what you put in, since you won’t be submitting this app for certification. You’re the only one who will be using this app. (Here is a 108×108 icon and a 512×512 icon for you to use.) Click Next when finished.

在“发布信息”页面上，填写必填字段-但不要担心您输入的内容，因为您不会提交此应用程序进行认证。 您是唯一将使用此应用程序的人。 ( 这是一个108×108的图标和一个512×512的图标供您使用。)完成后单击“下一步”。

On the final page, choose “No” for both privacy questions and check the Complicance box. Click the “Save” button when you’re finished. Do NOT click the “Submit for Certification” button.

在最后一页上，为两个隐私问题都选择“否”，然后选中“合规性”框。 完成后，点击“保存”按钮。 请勿单击“提交认证”按钮。

第六步：测试新命令 (Step Six: Test Your New Commands)

If all went well, you should be able to test your new commands now. Make sure your Kodi box is turned on, and try saying something like:

如果一切顺利，您现在应该可以测试新命令。 确保您的Kodi框已打开，然后尝试说以下内容：

“Alexa, ask the living room to play season one, episode one of Friends”

“ Alexa，请客厅播放第一季的《 Friends》第一集”

(…obviously replacing that with an episode and show that you have on your machine.) It may take Alexa a moment, but hopefully she should respond and start playing the show in question. If you get an error and the episode doesn’t play, go back and make sure you did everything properly.

(……显然是用一集替换它，并表明您的计算机上已装有该设备。)Alexa可能需要花点时间，但希望她应该做出回应并开始播放有问题的节目。 如果出现错误而该剧集无法播放，请返回并确保正确执行了所有操作。

You can ask Alexa if you have any new episodes, ask her to play the next episode of a show, or even use her to control Kodi, as inefficient as it may be (“Alexa, ask the living room to pause,” “Alexa, ask the living room to navigate down,” etc.). Check out the SampleUtterances.txt  file to see all the things Alexa can do with this integration. If you ever want to add a new phrase that corresponds to one of those functions, just log back onto your Amazon Developer account and add it to the list we pasted in step four.

您可以问Alexa是否有任何新剧集，请她播放下一集节目，甚至可以用她来控制Kodi，因为效率可能不高(“ Alexa，请客厅暂停，”“ Alexa ，请客厅向下导航”等)。 查看SampleUtterances.txt文件，以查看Alexa通过此集成可以完成的所有操作。 如果您想添加与这些功能之一相对应的新短语，只需重新登录您的Amazon Developer帐户并将其添加到我们在第四步中粘贴的列表即可。

It isn’t the quickest or easiest thing to set up, but once you get it working, it’s easily one of the coolest things you can do with your Amazon Echo, in my opinion. Now I can start watching TV while cooking in the kitchen, or when my remote’s batteries are dead. This is the kind of power Amazon Echo was designed to have, and even though it takes a bit of work, it’s well worth it.

设置不是最快或最简单的方法，但是我认为，一旦它开始工作，它很容易成为您可以使用Amazon Echo进行的最酷的操作之一。 现在，我可以在厨房做饭或遥控器的电池没电时开始看电视。 这种功能是Amazon Echo所具有的，尽管需要一些工作，但还是值得的。
