RE: Amazon Prime Video Add-on [input-stream] - marcmv1 - 2018-12-29
I found the fix to get 1080p streams again. Since this hasn't been pushed out by the dev yet do this at your own risk!!
Grab a new network.py here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/master/plugin.video.amazon-test/resources/lib/network.py
And overwrite network.py on your device. On my shield it was located here:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.amazon-test/resources/lib
As soon as I did that I got 720p and 1080p streams after restarting kodi

Now if someone could hint at how to get the playlist loading sped up it would be great. Especially in movies genres it usually can't complete the grab as per my earlier log post. Do other people have this problem, and how long does it normally take a single genre to populate? Mine takes many minutes if it succeeds at all. If the list fails at a partial load then the found movies can't play because what looks like incomplete data so it can't match keys.

Regarding playlist loading, I don't see the same issues while browsing Movies/TV Shows. This is a capture of me browsing a genre, seems to take the expected amount of time to download all the images/metadata - https://gfycat.com/GreatDarlingEidolonhelvum

Hmm, I understand why it is taking so long and timing out now, it is ignoring the paging setting, I never actually noticed that before but it is still set at the default 40. It is trying to load the entire genre even when I try changing the paging size. I tried some different skins, also have this same addon running on two different win10 pc's that do exactly the same thing - both setups are pretty basic, no real customisation and default skin. So... any ideas anyone as to why the addon is ignoring my paging setting? Is it something to do with my region being AU?
Edit: BTW, thanks very much for the gif dapharsyde, that was a really good answer to my question.
Edit 2: submitted issue https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/issues/228

- All movies are displayed
- When I click on a movie, it begin to loads. The play button on the top right corner is displayed (but no movie is played). Then after 5 seconds it stops and goes back to the last view.

The only way to get what I want is either use the mobile app to add item to watchlist and then use the add-on in Kodi, or do a search and hope the movie I want is listed in search results.(2018-12-29, 00:02)marcmv1 Wrote: I found the fix to get 1080p streams again.

This problem sounds a little different to mine because some of my categories will load. If they don't I get a connection error. Look in your log to see if you get a 404 before it fails (assuming there is a failure). If so it might be related to mine, I got a few replies on the report, we'll see how that one goes:

RE: Amazon Prime Video Add-on [input-stream] - rakeshchn - 2018-12-31
Yeah will check that. I went through the Github post as well. For us I think what is different from many here is we have account in primevideo.com? Are we in one of the countries that have Amazon VOD accessed through primevideo.com instead of Amazon.com/prime or something like that?

Are we in one of the countries that have Amazon VOD accessed through primevideo.com instead of Amazon.com/prime or something like that?I'd say that's the commonality of the issue, probably just affecting some or all primevideo.com users, that's the address my browser lands on to stream Amazon Prime Video. Being in AU the whole prime offering was initially confusing especially when accidentally landing on the .com instead of .com.au address for signup. It should just be a region selection from the .com pages IMO. Anyway, the add-on will likely be all fixed as a nice new year's present for us before long

RE: Amazon Prime Video Add-on [input-stream] - ebswift - 2019-01-01
There's a fix for primevideo.com users now in GH, specifically for issues populating show/movie lists.
https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/issues/228
As per the end part of the above issue discussion you should be able to swap out network.py and primevideo.py to apply the fix, keep your original versions in case it creates problems you didn't have before.

Do you know if this change was merged into rel. 0.6.5? I am not seeing any change with the new network.py. Videos only work in 960x540 - Is there any change required in inputstream's configuration?
I notice when I switch to manual stream configuration, instead of 960x540,I get audio-only, no video at all. With both the original network.py and the patched one.
Restarting kodi after changing inputstream params doesnt help. When it plays at 960x540, checking video settings shows there is only one stream.
Netflix works fine at 1080 without having to touch anything. Looking to achieve the same with amazon VOD.
This is on linux / Kodi leia rc4 / addon 0.6.5
RE: Amazon Prime Video Add-on [input-stream] - ctgchaos - 2019-01-15
Is there an easy way to set the default language? For some reason it always defaults to German for me, and I want the original language (whatever country it may be from).
Thanks!
RE: Amazon Prime Video Add-on [input-stream] - ctgchaos - 2019-01-15
Also, only the Amazon VOD add-on seems to function correctly for we. Is this normal? Can I safely remove the other add-on?

Hi is everyone aware this addon does not work when adding to library, it adds the shows successfully but then does not play from library
