I am attempting to create a video skill. I have setup my lambda function in us-east-1. I appear to have successfully setup account linking for the skill. I am able to through both the alexa app and https://alexa.amazon.com enable the skill and the oauth account linking process succeeds. I then close the window as instructed and Alexa attempts to find devices. After the modal dialog for searching for devices is done I am thrown into a blank screen. I see in my CloudWatch Logs that indeed there is a Discovery Request which I service with the Alexa.RemoteVideoPlayer capability. I see no other attempt to trigger my lambda beyond the initial discover trigger. Whilst my device does not show up in the screen directly after enabling the skill my device does show up in the Alexa App under the Smart Home >> Device menu. I inspected the source for the blank page and found a series of unhandled javascript errors such as the following:
Uncaught Error: Failed to find matching videoSkill for skillId: amzn1.ask.skill.abc1234-da15-4620-9051-87bd8btuvxyz and skillStage: development

The "skillId" would appear to match the very skill I am hoping to get operational. I also noted that my previous attempts of creating video skills present as uncaught error too.
Some additional information. I am based in Australia. I have successfully developed a Smart Home Skill in the past just not a Video Skill. I noticed in the Test tab of my skill in the manual JSON subtab I have no option to 'Select Region Endpoint' (this smell fishy to me).
