I have installed bs4 with the command and it was successful

pip3 install bs4

Running on Home Assistant 0.73.2 via Hass.io with the old addon uninstalled

No clue what to do at this point, I have been having issues with the addon and now the script.

J.eremy · July 18, 2018, 2:19am

OK I have figured out the encoding issue, It is the quotes in the instructions.

Change:

media_player:
  - platform: alexa
    email: “your amazon email”
    password: “your amazon password”
    url: “amazon.com”

to:

media_player:
  - platform: alexa
    email: your amazon email
    password: your amazon password
    url: amazon.com

After you do that the addon will initialize and you will get the configure button on your Overview

Issue now is after entering captcha, The lightbox that shows up to input captcha goes blank after submit, and doesn’t seen to configure anything.

SouzaaThales · July 18, 2018, 2:28am

Same happened here. After a few tries it worked.

kanga_who · July 18, 2018, 2:29am

I still have this issue on Hassbian after installing BS4 using all methods I posted earlier. Any ideas?

Chewee · July 18, 2018, 2:35am

Are you running Hassio? Did you just go into putty, when I try I get command not found error

Sunonline · July 18, 2018, 2:37am

I will try again tonight. Thank you so much.

keatontaylor · July 18, 2018, 2:47am

For those getting the URL errors try removing the double quotes in the yaml config

url: amazon.com

Instead of:

url: "amazon.com"

Chewee · July 18, 2018, 2:56am

How do I install beautiful soap on HASSIO? @keatontaylor

keatontaylor · July 18, 2018, 3:04am

@Chewee

New version of the custom component adds requirements that will auto-install beautiful soup.

Please ensure that 0.6.1 is what is downloaded from my GitHub page.

kanga_who · July 18, 2018, 3:10am

@keatontaylor just tried 0.6.1 on Hassbian, same error as earlier. Missing dependencies.

Chewee · July 18, 2018, 3:16am

I still get the same error too, even with 0.6.1

J.eremy · July 18, 2018, 3:35am

@Chewee yes Im running hassio. With hassio you have to connect to the container via ssh with the addon not not the host.

I have my host set at port 22 and port 23 set up for the home assistant container.

Use the community SSH addon or a terminal addon in the Hass,io menu

J.eremy · July 18, 2018, 3:38am

@keatontaylor the captcha image isnt even loading anymore. its just showing the broken image graphic instead of the actual captcha. Inspecting the source of the website shows its trying to pull the image from amazon but not successfully. maybe a caching problem

J.eremy · July 18, 2018, 3:43am

Ok so It logged in finally. I deleted the pycache directory that the script created in the custom components folder and restarted home assistant. Brought up captcha the first click and logged in successfully the first confirmation.

Something tells me we may see some issues arise from whatever was causing my issue

keatontaylor · July 18, 2018, 3:47am

@J.eremy, my guess would be the pycache was caching something from the old alexa.py pre removal of the add-on

J.eremy · July 18, 2018, 3:53am

@keatontaylor I dunno, I deleted it between .5 and .6, then I just deleted it again between .6 and .6.1 then it worked.

weird

xx_Nexus_xx · July 18, 2018, 5:51am

I tried to uninstall the Add-on but it does not get removed? I want to try the alexa.py only approach.

Any advise on how the add-on getting removed ?

lonebaggie · July 18, 2018, 6:24am

Same issue as @xx_Nexus_xx . Unable to remove add-on
