I've updated some of the stuff that can be queried from the API.

You can get a list of genres or amazon categories (they are slightly different):

Code:

$ curl "amazon.jonathanbeluch.com/api/genres/" | python -m json.tool
[
    "Action",
    "Adventure",
    "Animation",
    "Biography",
    "Comedy",
    "Crime",
    "Documentary",
    "Drama",
    "Family",
    "Fantasy",
    "Film-Noir",
    "History",
    "Horror",
    "Music",
    "Musical",
    "Mystery",
    "Romance",
    "Sci-Fi",
    "Short",
    "Sport",
    "Thriller",
    "War",
    "Western"
]

The current supported urls are:

Code:

Get all movies alphabetically sorted (optional query string arguments are "count" - the number of items to return, and "start", the start index to return from (0 based))
GET amazon.jonathanbeluch.com/api/movies

Get info for a specific movie by passing an Amazon ID
GET amazon.jonathanbeluch.com/api/movies/<ASIN>/
    ASIN = amazon id

Get genres
GET amazon.jonathanbeluch.com/api/genres/

Get movies for a particular genre, alphabetically sorted, also supports the "start" and "count" query string arguments.
GET amazon.jonathanbeluch.com/api/genres/<GENRE>/

Get categories
GET amazon.jonathanbeluch.com/api/categories/

Get movies for a particular category, supports "start" and "count"
GET amazon.jonathanbeluch.com/api/categories/<CATEGORY>/

If hosting this as an external API doesn't make sense, I can help you work on the scraping part if you still want assistance. If not, no worries, this was a fun project to learn scrapy, mongodb and flask

I would be very interested in this as well. I'd be willing to donate some $ if this becomes relatively well integrated into XBMC.

I tried version 0.0.1 since march (that's the latest right? ) but it does not play video. It lists movies and shows but nothing happens when I try to play them.

Here's my xbmc log:

(for the record.. I did set up my user/password and I have a full prime account, not student only)

what is your problem?

[aw_309]

Hello = )

I´ll get an script error when am trying to play a video in the amazon server.
True amazon addon!

Any tips?

Regards

[BlueCop]

it works for me.

I would need to actually see the debug logs for where it failed. also please post them to a paste service and link to them. what you posted isn't the actual problem. I suspect your librtmp is just too old to play the videos though.

I posted my log right up there ( http://pastebin.com/f0CtCgZn ).. Can you tell me what my problem is? :| librtmp? How would I upgrade that? do I need to build xbmc from source with a new one or is a separate plugin?

[aw_309]

1.
I have the latest librtmp from you.. : -) i manually put it in the map with your instruction


I wrote somehere in forum that you push the amazon true the repository but i cant see that in yours so a manually installed the zip file

2.
Im from sweden - europe..
Is that the problem?

3.
With hulu its says -"Please select a quiality level" window but no lines there. empty and then i have to push remote "back" meny and end the hulu.

here is my log:
http://teknik2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/x...07-22.html

[bladeds]

for hulu you need to be in United states otherwise you get ''
With hulu its says''."Please select a quiality level"
im from uk and get the same thing.
you need to use a US vpn to get hulu in europe. the atv2 cant nativly be used with a vpn
one solution is to use a dd-wrt router,
or the service i use unblock us http://unblock-us.com/ this can be nativly used with atv2 as it used a dns server. if you use this service you will also be able to get cbs and fox to work in the freecable plugin and the southpark plugin, espn 3.

Hi blucop,

I'm running xmbclive 10.1 on Linux ubuntu 10.04. I'm a prime member and can view movies on my linux browser (ff and chrome).

[BlueCop]

[mythboy]

OK, it looks like I had an incorrect user/pass.. Now I get this:

It looks like AMAZON upgraded their stream server? Is it just a matter of upgrading the Flash player client?

[gjlp]

I hadn't used this plugin in a while but I tried it yesterday and it worked fine -- and some of the content seems to be much higher quality (HD?) than before but trying it today I get a script error. It works fine in my Internet browser. Is it down for anyone else?

[pomsdownunder]

Hi,

I have just tried using Amazon VOD/Prime for the first time, and have installed Bluecop's plugin. Not really sure if it's working at the moment or not...

I can access the lists of TV shows and Movies on my atv2, but there is nowhere to add my Amazon Prime account details. Am I missing something?

Thanks
