Hey, I finally got this working self-hosted! - but only with a dynamic dns - it just refused point blank to accept a self-signed certificate with my public ip. Many thanks to the dev and support community who have made this possible.

But, since I've been up all night and my eyes are fried and my brain in melt down, can anyone tell me the voice command to close Alexa''s visual overlay that pops up on a fire tv with search results?

Also, whenever there's a hickup in retrieving results, the fall-over response seems to be to play recently added music - which is driving me mad because I've now heard the same podcast intro about fifty times. Is there a way to tweak this?

Thanks - oh, and Merry Christmas one and all!

 Hi... Can you give some pointers as to how you got it working self-hosted? I"m attempting to do this but all I'm getting is a 404 Not Found when I test from developer.amazon.com. I'm pretty sure I have a working web server (nginx on Ubuntu 16.04) and a working uWSGI environment as I can serve other python applications successfully (A simple Hello World app).

I've cloned the github repository into a virtualenv environment and created the kodi.config which has the internal DNS entry for the kodi box I'm trying to interact with and followed the skill setup guide. I have a letsencrypt SSL cert for the server and this presents as trusted in a browser.

I'm presuming I need to use the alexa.wsgi file to start the server under uWSGI?

Any hints/tips/pointers greatly appreciated.
