S3 connection has timed out, Failed to connect to endpoint, but works intermittently

[izm_]

I've gotten stuck, any help would be awesome. On executing

Code: Select all

googlesamples-assistant-hotword ....

it takes a very, very long time until I eventually get

[1956:2302:ERROR:speech_recognition_activity.cc(605)] S3 connection has timed out: No data from S3

followed by

[1956:2310:ERROR:fcm_tls_socket.cc(113)] Failed to connect to endpoint: [26:07:f8:b0:40:0d:0c:01:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:bc]:5228 rv=-118
[1956:2310:ERROR:fcm_tls_socket.cc(265)] Failed to establish TLS connection with endpoint: [26:07:f8:b0:40:0d:0c:01:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:bc]:5228

....but after that message it has gone on to work, albeit very slowly and at about a 90% failure rate.

Mirrordirector and PIP ran incredibly slowly during setup so I changed over the DNS nameservers to Google Public and OpenDNS, that didn't seem to do anything. Internet access runs at a normal speed but I'm not able to ping embeddedassistant.googleapis.com, though I am able to traceroute it.

Just attempted turning off the WiFi and pluging the network cable in from the router/modem, now there is no connectivity at all. Maybe I need to modify dhcpcd.conf but this should be auto config'ed, right?

I'm running library v0.1.0 on a Pi3 w/ Raspbian 9 (stretch). Thanks in advance!
