@drew_351: at this point and solely by having a quick reading to this thread you should know US Amazon prime streaming presents challenges. However, and only for the purpose of isolating your specific issue in case it differs, try this:
1. Connect via a fast VPN to a UK server
2. Get a trial UK Amazon Prime (UK AP) subscription (you can log in with your usual US credentials). Configure your UK Amazon account settings via website to work with Adobe Flash and not Microsoft Silverlight (Kodi is only Flash-compatible).
3. Connect via AP app for Kodi. Try 720p or less depending on your connection speed; don't do 1080p unless you've got over 10Mbps inbound through the VPN, which I doubt, otherwise the stream will buffer/stutter a lot.
Conclusions: If your streaming issues have vanished then the culprit is the add-on handling of US-bound Amazon Prime, as described earlier in this thread by your fellow United Statians.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Although I'm having problems with some media, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and X files for example produce script errors.
Amazon UK user. If there's any way I can help provide logs/tests etc happy to help.
EDIT UPDATE!
Think I figured it out, somehow settings had reset to US account and I'd saved the seasons to my tv shows, X-files aren't available in the UK unless you buy it.

@Baertierchen: just to let you know Amazon Prime Add-on (UK) is working perfectly for me as I write.

Has anyone gotten this to work with Kodi 15 (OpenELEC) builds on Raspberry Pi 2?
