"The response is invalid"

[alexc-MSFT]

I'm currently working on making some modifications to the skill - this will fix this error in addition to some others (i've tested and confirmed).

Just out of interest, send an AddMovie intent test event on the AWS Lambda console and let me know what comes back.

I'm also adding other functionality such as searching by year, different phrases etc.

Also - I think I found out this was caused by the fact this skill returns so much JSON, too much for Alexa to handle - i've slimed this down and it works much better.

Brilliant cheers :) I'll try doing the addmovie on the lamda in a bit :)

BTW asking is "x men Apocalypse on the list" works fine - my spelling isn't great!

[alexc-MSFT]

Ok so it's just AddMovie that's not working for you? Let me know what the test event comes back as. I think the FindMovie (is) returns a small amount of JSON which is why it works.

Ok, I admit that all this online stuff is new to me so pretty much fumbling my way through cuttin' and pastin' with alexa /lambda for the time being!

Another dumb error by me - removing "movie" from the request worked fine in the service simulator...

Just me figuring out how the sample utterances can be used :)

[alexc-MSFT]

Ah yes, you just need to write 'add {moviename}' etc. the service simulator will add any other required phrases.

I think if you use it on an echo you will find you get an invalid response for movies when there are more than one returned. I've fixed this with cutting down the size of the returned response.

[cherowley]

Yep get the problem as you said - will you be releasing the updated code soon? :)

[alexc-MSFT]

Just submitted a pull request to @josephschmitt for the fixed code - it only works for AddMovie currently, I need to sort it for find movie.
