There isn't purchasing in the plug-in. You do that in a web browser and then the plugin can access it in "my library". I didn't want to mess with purchasing code. It could cause too many problems if there was a bug.

I tested some videos that were once flash access drm. they can be watched again.

Thanks Amazon! if you're reading this.

Something is funky on my end then as I'm seeing both content available for rental/purchase in addition to content available for free to Prime members; for example, if I browse to Movies>Genres>Comedy the first movie listed is "3000 Miles to Graceland" which is only available for purchase or 48hr rental.

I just tried reinstalling the addon from scratch and it's still acting that way.

I'm brand new to XBMC so forgive me if I'm just an idiot haha. I loaded BlueCop, loaded RTMPDump (I think) and I'm a Prime user. I've got access to the database of movies/shows but none of them play. What am I missing here?

Thanks!

I need to update the database to eliminate the items they have removed from prime.

there are non-free items in there currently.

jpenguin: you didn't meet the first requirement in the first port. You need a new librtmp or an Eden build that already has the new librtmp

Amazon's website now announced that they've added thousands of new shows includinf content from Nickelodeon and Discovery but I don't see any of this content in the plugin. Is this something you need to setup manually or am I able to somehow perform a refresh to pull in the new content. Thank you, BlueCop for your continued support of this awesome plugin!

There is an option to manually refresh.

I honestly stopped thinking about amazon once they started doing DRM streams.

It currently would need new databases for tv and movies.

You can scan new content into the databases with context menu. It is too hard to maintain a current list with how much they expand the database.


I am considering ways to fix this. I am going to have to refactor a bit to try to fix it.

Having an issue playing media. Hulu working fine, but as of yesterday no amazon files will play. Receiving "one or more files failed to play" and "script failed" when attempting to play streaming Amazon content.

Attempted Resolutions: Clean install of XBMC

Other information: US, Prime membership OK until 8/12, XBMC 11.0 "Eden" RC2 on Win7

Log: http://pastebin.com/pezG04Ra

Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: Checked, corrected login/pass

Issue persists. New Paste @ http://pastebin.com/6bUtwPfX

BlueCop, loving the script, thanks for the work it is greatly appreciated!

I was wondering, how difficult/possible would it be to shows and movies that have been marked as favorite added to the general library? I think this would be a nice interface option allowing for a slightly cleaner setup, primarily with television shows.

Amazon is giving me script error - I think same problem as B34ver. Login info entered. I can browse directory and images, but can't play.

What might cause the "ValueError: need more than 3 values to unpack", which seems to be a python error being reported in the log?

Hulu addon works for me.

I'm a newbie, just installed latest version of the Eden xbmcbuntu release.

Thx.
