Playback control timeout

Is there a way to change the playback control timeout?
I am having issues with my skill whereas the playback control times out before my skill has an opportunity to parse a library to ensure that it can play what is requested.
What is the timeout period for a skill to complete the
CPS_match_query_phrase

I think the delay is hard coded to 5 seconds (see here)

For testing you can change this to 10.

I think you can reset it manually by sending an additional play:query.response message with a searching field set to True in the data

        self.bus.emit(Message('play:query.response', {"phrase": search_phrase,
                                                     "skill_id": self.skill_id,
                                                     "searching": True}))

Set a timer for 4 seconds triggering the above should give you 9 seconds, This is something I haven’t tried though.

Perhaps a parameter can be added to allow your skill to request a longer period?

I get a str object is not callable error with this.

Sorry bad copy-paste-edit, should be

        self.bus.emit(Message('play:query.response', {"phrase": search_phrase,
                                                     "skill_id": self.skill_id,
                                                     "searching": True}))

(I think)
