I'm a complete newcomer to xbmc. I have a 2010 mac mini which I use as an audio and video server. My kids rely quite heavily upon Front Row. Recently I got the Amazon prime subscription, which has many free TV videos my kids like, but they (and my wife) found the web browser interface too clunky. I was almost ready to buy a Roku (with an ATV2 and mac mini, I need another box like a hole in the head), but this Amazon plug-in saved the day. I found I needed the most recent nightly build to get it to work. (I've tested it on 10.6.8 and 10.7.2, for what it is worth). I also found a plug-in that allows my kids to launch XBMC from Front Row, so watching the Amazon videos is now completely seamless.
So, thanks very much for making this available. The corresponding plug-in for Plex (which I also tried earlier today, and found intensely annoying) seems to have been abandoned, so I am pretty sure this is the only game in town. Please keep up the good work. You made my kids really happy.
One small issue is that the (python?) script fails to re-initialize if you try to go from one video to the next, necessitating quitting and restarting XBMC. Is there a simple fix?
