New Kodi Alexa Skill – Updated Tutorial (2018)

YouTube player
This is the much anticipated updated how to video tutorial for the Kodi Alexa skill (2018). The skill is much faster than the previous version and all instructions are now fully up to date!

Thanks to Joe Ipson for the code used in this tutorial. I am not a coder and without him this would not be possible.

This skill will not cost you any money unless you use it a hell of a lot! Amazon’s developer portal and AWS platform will need you to sign up with a credit card because there is a potential for you to exceed their free usage tier if you hammered this skill all day every day. The maximum charge would be $0.20 per month. Get over it 😉
