Surely that wont work on windows?
Apparently it does

For non-coding morons like me can you please tell me where I can find the file (win 8.1) and what exactly I have to change.
Thanks

Many thx @ tyborall
For me on linux this default.py file is located at ~/.xbmc/addons/plugin.video.prime_instant/
On windows it should be in the invisble folder c:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming or c:\Users\your username\AppData\Local and then the same like on linux.

For me (addon v1.1.6) it is located at
C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.prime_instant\default.py
The lines to change are 98/99
Just copy/paste what tyborall posted over the top of the same lines

Fixed my 404 errors on Ubuntu when streaming from amazon.co.uk - great stuff. Cheers

That fix did not work for me. It killed the addon completely. I pasted the original text back and it works the same as before.

I think Amazon has blocked the UserAgent.
So I just replaced this line in /.kodi/addons/plugin.video.prime_instant/default.py:
Code:
userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-EN) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.127 Large Screen Safari/533.4 GoogleTV/ 162671"with this line:
Code:
userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X x.y; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0"RE: [RELEASE] Amazon Prime Instant Video (US/UK/DE) - tyborall - 2015-09-17
Maybe someone has a Google TV on latest firmware and can check actual UserAgent string and post it here?

This made no difference at all.
In "TV Shows", the only available videos are: Sneaky Pete & Casanova (Amazon Originals : Pilot Season 2015. Also, in "My Library", there's Walking Dead & Weeds - both have nothing inside. All the other sub-categories are blank with a "Next" folder that pops up.

Anyone? Any luck? Maybe someone can HTTP sniff some devices that work with Prime Video and then customize the user strings? Or maybe we just launch a browser in Linux and find an easy way to use it.

I'm in EU/Germany and I have no problem with watching any content now.
I can watch any movie or series I want and is included in prime package (i have prime subscription).

I'm in UK and that change is working for me, only SD with 2 channel sound though.

Also in the UK with the addon now working - thanks tyborall. I haven't checked the definition though.
I had to play around with the code mofification to get it working - spaces in front of the lines seemed to kill it
