I committed the search patch. It should list the episode for tv shows now.

Try it out and let me know how it works.

Thanks to Steven Woolley who sent me the py. I just modified it a bit so it use existing code to list the episodes and differentiate between television and movies.

Also this searches the website so will include everything available at any time. It doesn't use the databases.

I am working on adding anything new to the database when detected.

Hey all, new to XBMC... Using the amazon plugin but I'm getting an error when attempting to load content. Message says "new content found, update?" but won't let you load anything and the error shows up lower right saying the plugin is NG.

Any suggestions?

BTW, bluecop repo is bad arse, nice work.

Have you entered your amazon name and password?

I just registered on this site so I could thank you. All previous attempts to view Amazon content on my anemic 8-year old PC were horrendous. Jittery video, constant pausing, buffering issues. With this add-on, it's beautifully smooth. Thank you thank you thank you! This just saved me from buying a Roku! Smile

Working great! My brother just texted me, suggesting I watch "Dogs Decoded," so I scrolled around, trying to find it. Then I went to my PC (actually a Mac) and searched Amazon Prime, finding this:

So then I scrolled around looking for "Nova," but didn't find this episode.

Finally, I came back here for help and saw that you'd committed the search code. I found "Dogs Decoded" in an instant.

Evidently the title is "Best of Nova: Season 6 [HD]," which is why I hadn't been finding it by scroll.

Thanks again, Bluecop!

Nope. Is that my problem? Where do you load your UN and password?

System: Settings: Add-ons: Enabled Add-ons: Video Add-ons: Amazon: Configure.

I'm seeing the exact same thing, on the same version. Have you resolved this? I can post logs if needed.


- BlueCop - 2012-01-10

yes get some logs.


- mgarbell - 2012-01-10

Here is the log. Thanks for your help.

I don't own any movies. I rented one once and I must have broke it since then.

thanks for the log

I see the problem now.


- mgarbell - 2012-01-11

Thank you for looking into this. I really appreciate it!


- BlueCop - 2012-01-11

I just committed an update that should fix it.

let me know how it works. I just changed a variable name from "name" to "movietitle" and forgot one place it was used.

have you tried the dns solution on unblock-us.com

It seems to work for some people on hulu.

they list amazon video on demand as supported.
