Thanks Jingai. Not blaming the skill at all jut trying to figure out what's wrong. It's weird because sometimes it's working and sometimes it doesn't. Overall it's very nice , I wish it could be done locally instead of going through internet. Like HABridge and hue emulator

You can host it locally if you want to go through the effort of setting up a web server on your own.

Any idea how to do that ? I have no experience in this at all but hoping there is an easy guide out there

Running the skill on a web server locally will still require the phrase to go out to Amazon and back again. This type of custom skill is not like the "smart home" skill that habridge uses. Only smart home skills are kept local, and they only allow on/off/percentage commands.

Maybe try reducing the number of films in your movies slot list to around 200 and seeing if that helps. The slots are not definitive lists that need to match everything in your library, they are used to help break up the phrase alexa hears into chunks that the skill is programmed to receive. It's complicated, as In some situations having the movie in your library as a slot entry can be the difference between it working and not.

And don't forget to go through your cards in the alexa app and say yes or no when asked if it did things correctly. This really helps with recognition across all alexa skills and built in features.
