you wouldn't want to do that and no there isn't.

there is a shitload of requests to amazon to get a complete list of their data. It doesn't request data it already has but it still insane.

if one were to build a new database it would require 192 listing pages requests plus 2,296 movie page requests for meta. for tv is would be 72 listing pages and 890 season page request.

when updating it will always take at a minimum of 192(number of movies/12) pages requests to refresh movies and 72(number of seasons/12) to refresh tv. This doesn't include any new content meta requests.

This is because amazon doesn't provide a mechanism to access show lists or large movie lists. Their "release" listings are seemingly strange. new content is sometimes in the middle when it shouldn't be. it seems arbitrary how they order their content at times.

I looked in the amazon api to reduce this but they limit the item return on that as well. I didn't know anything that would make the situation better so didn't really feel like coding anything for it.

I have been hacking my roku 2 XD box alot lately though. I should have a flash dump soon when my nand clip gets here so i can tear apart some of the amazon prime bright script. I have been trying to reverse the jtag pins and uart as well. I am still early in trying to crack the box open though. It is fun to do some hardware hacking again.

The amazon app for roku uses a different data source and we might be able to use it better. I am not sure yet almost everything they do is over tls/ssl.

I have found a lot of interesting things playing on the roku though. I can't wait to try to crack open the netflix 1080p h264 5.1 streams. I am pretty sure they are using HLS for streaming so could be used in xbmc.

any curious hardware people might want to check the roku tear down.

it is a capable little box hardware wise. it seems to have the same processor as the rassberrypi box
