Quick question.
I've got this all running nicely now, set up on my HTPC (windows) also running Kodi. I've left the cmd box open.
If I close that or restart Windows is this gonna stop working or is it all done AWS server/Alexa server side now?
If it is all server side, how do I grab or view server logs from CMD again after I've closed this CMD box or restarted Windows?

One extra thing to note: it doesn't stop on the first match. It returns the strongest match. However, if two titles have exactly the same name, then yes, you will need to edit one of them.

This may actually be a feature request, rather than a question, but here goes.
Is there any way to get the Cinemavision addon to play movies?
If you don't what it is & how it works, it's an addon that allows you to play film intros & trailers before a film, even trivia cards too if you want, & it's usually built into a skin, so instead of hitting enter or play on a film, you go into info then hit the cinemavision button & it plays the film after the intro & trailers etc.
Alternatively, there is a 'Cinemavision Launcher' that when installed adds the entry to the context menu, so pressing c or menu then selecting cinemavision also does the same thing.
What I'd like to do, is say 'Alexa, ask Kodi Cinema to play Star Wars' Alexa, ask Kodi to play Star Wars in Cinema' or some similar invocation or trigger that would run that film as if you'd pressed the Cinemavision button.
If you simply run the addon, it opens up the configuration screen for the addon, which obviously doesn't help.
I've no idea if this is possible; if it's a quick edit, very complex, or even impossible, but I figured I'd ask.

Everything is working well enough and I saw in the instructions that it’s possible to have multiple dots running different Kodi installs. I have two or three other rooms that have their on Dots and Kodi installs in so I’d love to set this up.
I’m using the AWS setup and tried to run the ‘zappa tail dev’ command but just got an error
Is there a simple way to get the device IDs.

Can I suggest something?
Is there any way to say 'Alexa ask kodi to play next episode' when an episode is playing to have it start the next one of the same show?
This would be great when binge watching shows as you could say it as the credits start to roll, saving pressing stop then navigating to the next one & pressing play.
