Media Platform failed to initialise ECS Timeout

[midmohan]

I get the following error when trying to start the hue bot locally(Using Azure Fabric Service and Ngrok)

"Media platform failed to initialize" Inner Exception :- InvalidOperationException: Failed to initialize platform configuration (ECS timeout).

Can you please retry this? This appears to be a transient issue. Please report back if the issue is still persisting.

I had the same Problem for me it was a problem with Newtonsoft.Json. So if somebody reads this having the same Issue, check your Newtonsoft.Json(is it in every Project same version, etc)

Any updates?! Anyone else having this issue? This is still a problem for me and I've just noticed from the output window the following: -

- Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Warning: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.DeploymentInfoFromAzure : The configuration setting Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Deployment.BuildNumber does not exist. error
- Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Warning: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.DeploymentInfoFromAzure : The configuration setting Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Deployment.DeploymentName does not exist. error
- Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Warning: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.DeploymentInfoFromAzure : The configuration setting Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Deployment.EnvironmentType does not exist. error
- Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Warning: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.DeploymentInfoFromAzure : The configuration setting Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Deployment.DataCenterRegion does not exist. error
- Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Warning: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.DeploymentInfoFromAzure : The configuration setting Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Deployment.SubscriptionId does not exist. error
- Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Warning: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.DeploymentInfoFromAzure : The configuration setting Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Deployment.DataCenterRegion does not exist. error

This then goes to..........

Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Error: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.ECSClientConfigLoader : An error occurred while sending the request.

Then this..............

Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client Warning: 0 : Microsoft.Skype.ECS.Client.ECSOfflineFileCache : Unable to read from cache <<SOURCE_DIR>>\approot. Cache does not exist.

....until the final ECS timeout error.

Does anyone have any ideas? This may have always been happening but I've just never noticed it before.
