In terms of the supported commands, is there anything like "ask kodi to show me information about... (movie, show, episode etc.)" in order to bring up the info screen with plot, cast etc?

Add this as an Issue on GitHub and we'll look into it.

Also it would be great if it were possible to issue cec commands as well (i.e. "ask kodi to turn on tv", which would send the on signal through cec and set the source to kodi) - edit: just seen this, will patch my own version of it’s not something you’re keen to implement https://github.com/m0ngr31/kodi-alexa/pull/240

It's just that it's a "can of worms" kind of feature. We already removed streaming music support from the main Kodi-Alexa skill for the same reason. Similarly, PVR support is expected to be its own skill as well.

The primary problem is that we're simply running low on language variations that are both concise and natural-feeling. Breaking these things up into multiple skills makes more sense, because the added context allows us to share similar phrasing without colliding with existing intents.
 

Edit: Sorry one more suggestion - it would be good if we could use the resume (as in resume in progress episodes/ films) command as well as just play ("resume latest episode of...")

Feel free to add this as an Issue on GitHub as well. I believe I played with it at some point in the past and had some troubles (phrasing just not distinct enough), but it's possible that's changed at this point. Alexa's modeling changes frequently.
