Amazon is trying to make skill setup and account-linking easier, and a while back they introduced so-called *app-to-app* account linking. The idea is that you don't have to visit the Alexa app or web-portal to perform account-linking, but instead can do it from the app or website of the skill author.
I now have it live for both skills and links are available in the online setup-help pages that will automatically perform account-linking for you. There's no more need to paste your ngrok URL and chosen credentials into the landing page at the Alexa portal. Instead you will log in to your regular Amazon account (if you still have a valid cookie from the last time you logged in then you won't even need to do this) and authorize Amazon to link the skill(s) in question by just clicking on a pop-up. It's a complicated flow under the hood with 3 different bouts of oauth2 to-and-fro-ing but it's very secure and worked well in my testing. MediaServer has now been upgraded to use full authorization code grant instead of implicit tokens (LMS-lite already had that). If you encounter any problems, please report them here as I will not see anything in the skill logs to indicate failed attempts. This is as easy as skill setup will ever get until Amazon releases the promised capability to use an Echo as a native proxy device inside your LAN (announced last Sept as 'coming soon') :cool: 34110 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: apptoapp.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34110| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113966 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
