Having a little issue with creating the alexa skill in the developer portal. Rest of the setup went through easy enough. When I input the Intent Schema, Slot Types, and Sample Utterances nothing happens when I click save. I just get the "Please wait while the alexa skill is updated with a pinwheel. I've tried at least ten times and with the same result. So close!! What am I missing?

I also was not able to use the slot generator to pull my current lists. Not sure why. I typed them manually in the alexa app though. But because it won't save I can't add any additional slot types

First things first: if the slot generator won't work, it's unlikely the skill will. They both communicate with Kodi in the same fashion.

You should diagnose the problem with the slot generator. First thing to check is that your external address and port are accessible from the outside world. If you don't have a static IP address, you will need to use a dynamic DNS. Also, you will need to forward the port on your router to whatever port on the inside machine you used for Kodi's JSON RPC interface.
