@fireverm, Yeah, I just tested here, and unfortunately that's one of the words that Amazon is triggering on internally. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about that, but you can ask more specifically for the movie, like:
'Alexa, ask Kodi to play the movie Terminator'
and it should work. Additionally 'Alexa, ask Kodi to watch Terminator' works here, but she's snarfing 'Alexa, ask Kodi to watch The Terminator' (with the article) for that intent too.
Ultimately, for the generic 'play,' 'watch,' 'listen' intents where you don't specify the media type (i.e., movie, etc), we need to be able to utilize Amazon's library. Unfortunately, that is only available in the US. We've been waiting (im)patiently for that to change, but it's been something like 8 or 9 months now
