Originally posted by spud View PostIt is designed so that you can run both Kinect and Alexa plugins at the same time. Right now the Alexa plugin use the Kinect as if it was a dumb microphone. I could (and probably will) add better integration between the 2 so that it can leverage the noise suppression feature of the Kinect, but I don't think that will make a huge difference.
I have not even downloaded the Alexa plugin yet, but I am excited about the possibilities. At the moment we use one remote kinect that I am running on a LIVA win10 pc. It has fairly meager resources, though it is capable of running the kinect SDK. If I install a remote instance of the Alexa plugin I will need to install the MS server VR package? I imagine it uses some resources just listening for the alexa attention phrase, and it may push the LIVA over the limit. Is it as resource hungry as the kinect SDK? I already do not like how many watts I spend just so the kinect can listen. CPU utilization on the LIVA will get close to max when it gets loud in the room, but rarely dips below 20% with the Kinect plugin running.
Thanks for keeping this exciting--your plugins are great._______________________________________________

This is a highly requested feature and we have communicated it to our product owners.
Unfortunately, I am not able to comment on specific timelines for its release!

HSPI_Alexa.exe stops working
Spud,
I am testing the Alexa plug-in and I get random failures that the HSPI has stopped working. and a pop-up appears.
Funny thing once I close it the alexa plug-in keeps working.
Let me know if you want me to turn on additional log tracking or something.

I tried the following but can't deactivate DEP
Spud,
I investigated and I tried the following without success:
"How to remove a program from Data Execution"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us
If the error persists, please follow the steps to fix the issue.
1. Click on the Start menu and then go to the Control Panel.
2. Click on System Maintenance and then System.
3. Choose Advanced System Settings.
4. Under System Properties, select Settings from the Performance section at the top.
5. Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.
6. Select .
7. Find the executable file for the application that triggered the error.
8. Select the application causing the error and click Open to add it to your DEP Exceptions list.
9. Click OK to save your new settings.
I get an error message that this program must run with DEP and you cannot turn of DEP for this program.
Thanks
Chris

Fixed with workaround
Spud,
I completely disabled the DEP in Windows using a command.
Disable Data Execution Prevention
In Windows 7, type cmd in Start Search. Right clickmenu.
Then, copy paste the following and hit Enter:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
I will continue using it to see if the error goes away so I can focus on testing the Alexa plug-in and the "integration" with Homeseer skill.
tks
Chris

I'm not having any luck yet. I see my Alexa enabled device in the alexa settings. I also hear my recorded test question 'what time is it' in the alexa history portal, but it also says Voice request not intended for your Alexa device - nothing was returned.
This is the Error I see in the HS3 Log:
Jan-03 7:48:51 PM Alexa ERROR System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at HSPI_Alexa.AVSClient.finishRequest()
Jan-03 7:48:51 PM Alexa ERROR HTTP Status Code: InternalServerError
Jan-03 7:48:51 PM Alexa ERROR {"message":null}

currently, Alexa music skills are not supported on AVS applications.
