Thank You for the fast answer.

I'm really looking forward for the pvr function. But concerning your answer for my sts, 2pac, etc. problem I wonder what is going to happen with the pvr feature. The coolest thing would be to ask kodi just for the channel name. But most channels (in Germany) do have names that, i guess, would cause the same problems. Examples: RTL, Sat1, Pro7, ARD, ZDF, n-tv, n24, ...
It's not possible to do some kind of linking, is it? I mean a possibility to tell the skill something like "if you get a s.t.s. then try sts" or "R.T.L. is RTL" or "Sat eins ist Sat1".

For the music genre I'm gonna follow your advise and use playlists for the moment.

I'have already tried version 2.5 and the problem with the Umlaute is still there. If I ask kodi to play "Die Ärzte" the response is "Spiele die Arzte", also in 2.5. Better and really funny example is: "play music from Abstürzende Brieftauben" - response "spiele Absturz Ende Brieftauben"

Concerning the custom slots: I don't have a problem with including everything on the first run. But if alexa only gets the right match if the asked movie, artist whatever is part of the list, I'm gonna run into problems every time I add a new movie or artist.
Not that that happens every day. But updating the slots every time I add something new wouldn't be that comfortable.

Last question: is there some kind of tutorial for running the skill on my own webserver? I do already run a webserver on a raspberry. So the ressource is there.
