About 50% of the time i get "sorry something went wrong", and then it plays the movie! This is rather annoying, and seems to me to be a response time issue, from the command to the 10 secs it sometimes takes to play, any ideas how to fix?

Also many times if i say Alexa play Grease, it plays on Amazon music instead of Kodi! This is a common issue, Goldfinger etc, is there a way to sort audio from video?
I'll publish new version of plugin soon, which will fix the issue with the response time, that is causing the "sorry something went wrong" error. This is indeed caused by the Kodi just being too slow to start playback.

As for the second issue, you can specify it by saying "Alexa play movie Grease", or "Alexa play tv show Simpsons". Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this, as Alexa decides where to forward the request.
But from my experience, she tends to learn over time, that you've meant the video, and not the audio book, or something else.
