[Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS

[philchillbill]

I set up ngrok updater ages ago and have had no need to reboot the server since then. What steps do I need to take after a reboot to get both the skills up and running again?

Just run the updater script from the command line. e.g.

python updater.py

p.s. The online instructions explain how to have it autorun whenever ngrok is restarted

I "think" I did set it up to run automatically, does that mean it should just work after a reboot?

Yes. Provided that you didn't unlink/re-link using a different uuid in the meanwhile (meaning that the uuid in your updater.py script is invalid). If in doubt, run the script manually as per above and see if it says OK or FAIL.

Pretty sure I tested it at the time if it was advised in the instructions. I'll try a reboot and see what happens

Do I need to relink the skills?

Absolutely not. The whole idea of the autoupdater is to make that redundant.

Hmm. My tunnel exists but the skills don't work.

What does Alexa give as the reason? The message via MediaServer will be more telling than via LMS-lite.

It says the tunnel no longer exists, maybe you restarted the server.

Then the updating failed. Just run the python script from the command line.
