It might be a good idea to expand the “Show interaction model json” by default rather than have it folded just above an image. Or perhaps make it more obvious to those of us who are blind as bats, to see it…

It might just stop the odd person cursing your name for missing out vital information.

Just sayin’ … 4 hours later..

Great work. But, some little comments. I think it is better to put some hardcoded stuff also in the config file like in Validation the host and the path. Maybe Amazon change it sometimes. Also the Timezone is hardcoded.

In reply to PAJ.

I can do that. Sorry, been very busy and haven’t had a chance to jump back on. I have added support for live audio streams now too.

One of the things I have been having some issues with is getting the SSML to work. The json produced in the logs looks sound but Amazon’s test tool always shows null json received like its not even being sent. The error sent back from amazon simply gives the invalid response error.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why. I have tried even the most simple ssml and cant get it to process.

In reply to Raghu. If you are seeing the "log folder not writeable" error then the log folder path is either invalid or the folder is not writeable....

I already get logfolder is not writable message. Even thought my logfolder as full write permission. Seems stuck here now
