Is this the best way to play Prime content via xbmc? Or is there a simpler addon to get?

I'm sort of stumped here as well. I'm guess after reading through this forum thread I'm a bit confused.
I started with a fresh install of Frodo 12.2 (i think) yesterday and go it up in running (using an ION board with Atom processor). I then installed the BlueCop Repo and the Amazon add on. After adding my Amazon username and password it connected right away and I can browse everything just fine. But when I click on any video it begins to stream it quits and gives me an error.
So after searching XBMC forums I found this thread, but I'm not sure this will correct my issue.
Any suggestions? Is the plugin I'm using no longer supported?

A couple pages back the author noted that someone else, addonscriptorde the author of the Netflix plugin here, was possibly going to do one for Amazon. I've not seen anything since.
I don't think the BlueCop Amazon has working for a long time.
I've bought a license for PlayOn which works okay through XBMC (I use it currently for Amazon and Hulu) but does have some disadvantages. Pause is sketchy and resuming is non-existent. Playing straight through works great.
I was really hoping to see something happen. With all the streaming services, XBMC seems to be left behind.

Wow, they raised the price. I think I paid that for my "Lifetime" version.
I don't disagree, but until someone writes something specifically for XBMC, that's the most reliable I've found for Amazon and Hulu. I wish I could code, I'd do it.

Hi starting yesterday or so every time i try to watch anything the chrome window opens but i get an error from amazon that says
"An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we're working to resolve the problem as soon as possible. If you were trying to make a purchase, please check Your Account to confirm that the order was placed. We apologize for the inconvenience."
I'm guessing amazon changed something?

Hi there,
I still get the message that amazon is incompatible to my xbmc 13.0. Has anyone else the same problem yet?

New problem: The newest versions of Chrome don't support NPAPI, which is required to view Amazon through a DRM-compatible Flash player (at least on Linux). The built-in Chrome version does not support DRM at all, and so won't play Amazon Prime content. Is there a way to adapt this addon to run Firefox instead? Otherwise, my days of watching Amazon shows and movies from within XBMC are over, which is really unacceptable.

Actually it's not chrome....I reset my licenses for flash and it works no problem through the browser. However still can't play through xbmc. Takes me to Amazon's page like I was shopping for something but doesn't even show me logged in.
