Could there be a language (UK/US) conflict somewhere?

I would also avoid using "the" as part of an invocation name. Kodi should work ok.

What command are you trying to use? A good test command is "ask Alexa to play a random movie" as it doesn't conflict with Alexa stuff (play, pause, stop etc) and doesn't need to match a specific show or movie.

I used "the bedroom" as i saw that on another guide it was suspected that the "k" in ask was running in to the "k" at the start of the word "kodi"...

The command i've been trying is "Do i have a new film" but i've also tried many others..

I will experiment with some more invocation names tonight and see if any of them make any difference... is there a way to test that everything is working as it should with out the echo?

This still isn't working.. it either says, i couldn't understand or i'm not sure what went wrong
