[RELEASE] Amazon Prime Instant Video plug-in addon

I figured out the issue. I will try to update soon.

I was almost finished with some other changes to the watch list and featured tv listing. I will commit the fix with that.


Search doesn't seem to return results for items that don't have thumbnails. I didn't realize this. that kinda sucks but hopefully somewhat rare

jmuck78: I committed an update that added a setting to list watchlist television as show or season. right now it lists all prime available seasons if by show. I plan to have it filter based on the watchlist in the future.

It also lists feature television as shows rather then seasons.

It also fixes the bug DeadpoolSA was having.

FYI: Shows previously exported to the library are getting 403'd today. Playing the same streams seems to work fine from within the plugin though.

Scratch that. I guess the shows that I added to the library somehow got removed from my favorites. I re-added them and they played fine from the library again.

philipacentaur: actually it was a bug from the upgrade. It stores your cookie file in the addon directory. when an upgrade occurs the addon directory is removed and replaced. Your cookie file also gets removed. It only gets cookies again when you relaunch the plugin for it logs in. If you instead play an amazon video from your xbmc library before launching the plugin then it will try to play the file without a cookie file present and you get 403. I will work on a fix for that.

Okay, thanks. That makes more sense. Sorry about the magical thinking; I should know better than to suggest a cause without knowing for sure. I hate when people do that to me.

I'm running this addon using a Frodo nightly, and I thought that I'd let you know that the full database refresh is broken. It fails after the first page with: "TypeError: integer argument expected, got float"

Calls to dialog_update() seem to be the culprit:

I changed instances of "dialog.update(int(page*100.0/8)..." to "dialog.update(int(page*100/8)" in both tv.py and movies.py and the DB refresh worked again.

EDIT: This was just to get the DB to refresh. I didn't bother checking if the info in the dialog was actually correct. It probably isn't.

BlueCop,

I successfully accessed my movies watch list, but when attempting to access the television section of the watch list, I get a plugin error (with nothing really helpful in the log). The "loading" box pops up and gets through about 36 items in the watch list before failing. I have a larger number than that in the movies watch list, and accessed that with out issue.

Update:
Here's a better log file where the error actual appears to show up:

i am having trouble installing the new update. in fact, the trouble started when auto-update tried to install it. i got an "amazon update failed" message, so, i uninstalled the amazon addon, then tried to reinstall, and i got the same message. i then reinstalled bluecop's repository and tried to install the addon with the same result. i am on an apple tv2 with eden installed. i have posted the log file here:

any help would be much appreciated. i love this addon, and use it daily, and was looking forward to the added features. many thanks.

BC,

As a follow up to my previous post, I did a little digging and found a couple of things.

1) My problem with the television portion of the watchlist was caused by a few of my purchased TV shows, specifically, Fairly Legal (don't judge, Sarah Shahi is hot) and Leverage. My other purchased series didn't cause an issue entering the TV watch list. However, the shows that did appear in the watch list from my purchased library did not have any episodes. The Two Shows that caused the watch list to fail show up in my Amazon watch list on the website as "you own tv pass", while the other series that DID appear in my XBMC watch list show up as $2.99 per episode (even though I own these series as well).

2) These same two series did not appear in my purchased library section of the xbmc amazon add-on, while the others did show up and showed up populated with episodes. The purchased library items that showed also played just fine.

3) The purchased items that did appear in the purchased library also show up in the television folder with all of the other prime shows.

Hope this helps,
Jason

BlueCop,

Thanks for the change - I definitely like that a lot better. I understand why Amazon broke shows up into seasons initially (to facilitate purchases of seasons), but they need to set it up so that I can view their prime catalogue by show - it doesn't make any sense to display the "free" catalogue by season instead of by show...

jmuck78: I will fix the issue from the log.

a little confused on exactly what you mean in the second post though? where are you seeing prices?

are you using season or show view? I don't think show view will work correctly for purchased items right now.
