Can anyone help?
Everything works fine when I run a text test on the Amazon developer console (the movie I asked for starts playing), but when I speak the same request direct to my Dot, I get "I'm not sure how to help you with that" and nothing happens.
What am I missing?

Does this work with the new web UI ? I keep getting 301 errors, and I'm wondering if it's that

I got my kodi and dynu.com service established and it works when i log in and use the ugly Kodi UI to start/stop music and movies. I was also able to get the code submitted, utterances, and intent schema setup. The application now shows up in my Alexa app and it is enabled.
However, whenever I ask fit for anything, I get the error "There was a problem with the requested skills response." from Alexa herself. I looked into the Alexa app and this error shows up "Skill response was marked as failure - Request identifier: amzn1.echo-api.request:#aa##a#a-#a#a-###a-a#aa-###aa#####a# - The target Lambda application returned a failure response".
I've tried re-doing everything a few times and can't get it to work, though I know I'm very close. Any help would be great, thanks.
Update (Solved): In case anyone else runs into this. I fixed the issue by taking the Application Id from Amazon, putting it in my .env and re-doing it all with that as the SKILL_APPID. I did that wrong at first.

I've gotten this to mostly work. It seems to be a little buggy for when I'm asking it to search for anything like certain movies or music. It states it's searching for it, but looks like it just navigates to Home everytime. Are there certain settings to make it work more efficiently?

I'm saying "Alexa, ask [Kodi] to search for 300". I used the website to get a full list of my libraries. It's able to play it when I ask it to play the movie, but when asking for a search on anything, it just navigates to the Home section.

Make sure you've got the Global Search script (Kodi addon) installed.

Apologies if I've missed it in the thread but I've come back to this skill after a couple of months and I've updated my Heroku app with the latest changes from git but when I try to update the skill on the Amazon website I get the following error:
Error: Bonnie "Prince" Billy contains invalid characters. Values for a custom slot type cannot contain double quotation marks.
I have tried copying only the intents and saving, the utterances and saving and trying to create the new custom slots and saving and whatever I do I get this error.
What have I missed?

Hi Jingai,
I have an existing app that was working previously and added a slot called MOVIEGENRES which is one of the slots added since I looked at this and typed in the word action into the Values field and clicked save and I get the same error.
