Out of curiosity, what are you fighting Amazon about on this?

According to the 'feedback' I received when I submitted the skill, they won't publish anything that enables or supports piracy. Seems they have a pretty negative view of Kodi.

I've responded and asked to have the issue escalated and posted on the dev forums, but the support is pretty sad, despite the otherwise good documentation and developer experience on the platform.

That's hilarious because Amazon is probably the biggest seller of Kodi boxes in Canada.
