How do you manually update skill settings?

Support Skill Support
#1

How long does it take device or skill settings to update after web changes? I updated the wake word, voice, and custom skill settings several minutes ago and they have not taken effect. Is there a way to manually update settings for a skill so the user doesnā€™t have to wait x min for it to work?

#2

Apparently changing the settings in https://account.mycroft.ai/devices/defaults doesnā€™t change anything. I had to click ā€œeditā€ under the device.

#3

Iā€™m using the Mark II dev kit and this hasnā€™t worked for me. Iā€™ve also tried going into the /opt/mycroft/skills/{skill}/settingsmeta.json for associated skills and edit manually there, but that doesnā€™t seem to be enough. Is there some kind of script that needs launched so itā€™ll update from the local settingsmeta.json?

#4

A matter of seconds. (As long as you hit the save button :wink: )
Settingsmeta isnā€™t supposed to be edited like this (revert the changes), neither is the config stored in settingsmeta. Itā€™s normally found in ~/.config/mycroft/skills/ (settings.json)

Which skill are you trying to config? Is this skill a custom skill (/non marketplace)?
Check the logs (skill.log) to get further hints why this might happen.

Iā€™m trying to get the pandora skill to work. Every time I use Pandora, it loses my settings after one use.

Alsoā€¦ whereā€™s the skill log?

Harmony,

The skills log is in /var/log/mycroft/skills.log

Iā€™ve installed pandora, set settings on the website, yet this is the skill log I getā€¦

I see this:

Then the emby skill is tried. Maybe try deleting and reinstalling the Pandora skill?
