Actually there seems to be a general problem with Raspi, Kodi and Amazon since many (german) users are having the same issues.

Potentially the same issue on LibreELEC Generic (x86_64), at least I'm seeing it, which probably isn't surprising as the libwidevinecdm.so
I'm using on my NUC is quite old.
Fortunately for x86_64 users the getwidevine.sh
script I wrote will pull the latest stable libwidevinecdm.so
from google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb, so on x86_64 removing the .kodi/cdm
folder and re-running the script will download the latest libwidevinecdm.so
which seems to work with Amazon Prime Instant (at least at the time of writing). However, no such luck for RPi users as the script downloads a fixed (and apparently no longer working) version of the library.
For the record I have no plans to update the getwidevine.sh
script to fix the RPi issue as this script was only ever a temporary solution to help kick-start the Netflix/Amazon/widevine fun. Now that this is well under way and there are various "widevine helper" add-ons available the getwidevine.sh
script has served its purpose and should be retired/deprecated/no longer used.
The helper addons should now be used instead as hopefully they will provide (and maybe even automatically push, as it's obviously a moving target) the latest widevine library. If the the helper add-ons don't work then they need to be fixed. And if video add-ons that depend on libwidevinecdm.so
don't use a widevine helper then complain to the video add-on maintainer.

With recent version of Sandmann's Amazon Addon inputstreamhelper is implemented and will do the job of installing libwidevine.
For RPi it seems, further investigations/adjustments need to be done....
