I'm not finding this anywhere (Mac OS X), either in ~/.xbmc or within /Applications/XBMC.app/
I'm unclear where else to go hunting...
OK, I think I found the relevant files in
/Users/home/Library/Application\ Support/XBMC/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.amazon
the unix "file" command tells me tells me it is a SQLite 3.x database file. Am I supposed to edit this and manually add favorites, or what?
Sorry to be an idiot, but I am a bit perplexed.

Is there a reason why the addon is unable to find everything that is available in Prime? For example, "Yo Gabba Gabba", which my kids really want to watch, is not listed in the addon, but I can see it and watch it from the website.

You can thank amazon for that... they are adding DRM to the media, Bluecop is working on getting things working again

Ah. I thought DRM was the reason why found items wouldn't play. I didn't realize they wouldn't show up in the listings at all.

I believe they are removing content while they replace it with copy protected versions...

I've read this thread and poked around quite a bit, but I still have absolutely no clue how to use the "favorited" functionality.
I realize this is likely a RTFM question, but I honestly don't know where to begin, so any pointers would really help. (I have no problems with doing this via file editing and the command-line, if that is what is involved.)
Also, thanks very much for doing this.
Press 'c' when you have a show you want to favorite selected.

I'm also sad that Amazon is DRM'ing things. I can't even get it working on my Linux desktop, boo!
Love that this plugin has worked for as long as it has though. Thanks bluecop!

Is anyone else seeing hard crashes of XBMC when you try to play anything? I'm suspecting this is an issue with my install of XBMC, but doesn't hurt to ask. Stack trace looks like this:

Bluecop, I know that amazon is slowly replacing content with DRM copies, but I was wondering if you could add a small update to this script and include the duration of the video in the NFO files? I'm not sure if you get this info from Amazon or not, but I'm using PseudoTV and it won't load files that have no duration.
Thanks!
If not, I'll just modify the plugin to add a duration of about 361 seconds (The max setting in PseudoTV to be included in the EPG).
