Anyone else get an email from Amazon over the weekend? They stated that XBMC will not be supported and offered a slight discount on a Roku box. I'm assuming this was in response to my email earlier in the month complaining about the DRM issue.

Fortunately I'm pretty sure I've got two other devices in my home theater setup that have official Amazon Instant Video support (Tivo HD and my TV itself), but it's still a disappointment and annoyance since streaming is supposed to be the HTPC's job.

Yeah, I got the e-mail, too. Roku (or any other dedicated device that they support) does not fit all of my needs, whereas XBMC does.

Being the paranoid schizophrenic that I am especially with the internet these days I would like to know how secure this app is. Because it troubles me when the standalone player opens up on the firefox and it is asking me to sign up again when I already have firefox with my amazon account already saved with my user name and password. and also when it opens up I cannot see what URL it is it does not let me why is that and what guarantees do we have that this is not a system that gets our accounts for you to see and use or anyone else for that fact. It sort of reminds me of the old dummy bank webpages of the early 2000's where the page looked exactly like the webpage but the URL was different but since no one ever looked they re-entered their user accounts and info and well you know the rest.So if this is not the case prove it and maybe change the way the browser works on your next attempt at a solution it would make me feel more comfortable using it.

If you want to see the URLs, just export to your library and youc an see the in the strm files. The reason it is asking for you to login again is that you are using a new profile.
