The JSON call, VideoLibrary.GetMovies, is taking somewhere between 10 and 11 *seconds*. I couldn't tell you why, but that is how long it took Kodi to process and return the data.

Do you have a really, really slow uplink...?

You might put Kodi into debug mode, try the request again, and then examine the Kodi log to see if it's actually spending 10 seconds getting the list of movies, or if it's the act of sending the results that's the issue.

Here's my log, from GetMovies through Alexa launching playback

From the line below, it looks like the query is only taking 24 ms?
11:45:09 T:140153851582208 DEBUG: RunQuery took 24 ms for 1836 items query: select * from movie_view

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
