I am actually trying some search code someone sent me by email in December. Thanks Steven!
It works rather well for finding movies. It just plays the default episode of the chosen season rather then listing episodes though.
I am working on changing it up a bit to list episodes too.
Edit:
Favorited lists are stored in your the tv.db and movie.db in userdata/addon_settings/plugin.amazon.video/
if you copy that between installations then it will copy your watched history and favorites.
most of them aren't that secure. They just use ssl. Once you get past that then it is mostly xml, json, or html that you need to parse for information.
places like hulu like to encrypt everything important. amazon seems to just be worried that you are indeed authenticated. They don't seem to protect the streams at all beyond that. You have to use a few variables to make a url and then parse the json for the rmtp links. They do use tsl/ssl for pretty much everything though.
