dbabo, I haven't tried this on raspbmc but I highly doubt it will work. Mainly because I have used web based amazon prime (which is what this is) on a intel atom machine and the processor could hardly handle the flash.
clientxero.
I will look into it. I don't currently have 13 on any of my machines so I am not sure what is causing it.

Like I said I just haven't tried it. I'm sure it could work but playback will probably be choppy. And there is no reason you should get the phishing email from this. It doesn't even attempt to log in to your account.
You will need to ssh in if you still want to try it. And install the required packages. Chrome, flash and hal.

Just a heads-up, in case you haven't heard, in a few months Google will be eliminating NPAPI support in Chrome, which means that we will no longer be able to use the only version of Flash that works with Amazon Instant Video in the Linux version of Chrome (don't know about Windows/Mac). That will pretty much kill this add-on for Linux users.

Update 0.7.1
Changes:
Included a setting to try to play the HD version of a video if available. Enabled by default.
Updated the script.module.amazon.database files. This adds about 2000 movies and 200 TV shows.
I thought that this would fix the erroneous non-prime video inclusion e.g. A Clockwork Orange, but it is still there. I am assuming that Amazon has it marked wrong.
Also note that I had a difficult time generating the TV.db file, It kept stopping at the same point in a way that i couldn't figure out how to fix. I ended up combining the old TV.db and the new unique items. So because of these problems I was having there still may be some shows missing from the Television > All Shows list.
Also let me know if it properly updates itself. I have never managed a repo so I think I have it set up right but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks

Romans, thanks so much for your excellent work on this plugin!
I was wondering how we can keep the *.db files current... is it done through a script?
Thanks!

In the main menu you can right click on movies or TV and click full db refresh. However I had to alter the script for the movies to finish and I never could get the TV script to finish properly. Sorry I didn't include those changes in the latest update. I will in the next update.

Thank you for submitting an add on that works for Prime. Is there a way to get to my purchased content though?

Still need to work on that. It was a function of bluecops original add-on so the code is all there. But we were getting a phishing scam email that unset our amazon password so I disabled it for the time being
