But it's working pretty good right now, especially with the drop of PR8723.

Yes, that was a pain.

Someone at kodinerds.net prepared an Amazon video addon using Inputstream and widevine, which is provided now with Kodi.

Eventually inputstream.mpd will become a regular user-installable addon in official releases (or will be automatically installed by another addon) - I'm only including it in these builds partly out of convenience, but mainly because I'll know what version of the addon you have should you experience a problem.

Note also that I have seen some odd behaviour with dependencies due to add-on defaults, which can cause problems:

1. kodi.inputstream (which is required by inputstream.mpd) is often disabled - this can only be enabled using sqlite3 at the ssh command line:

Code:

sqlite3 /storage/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons22.db "update installed set enabled=1 where addonID='kodi.inputstream'"

then restart Kodi

2. inputstream.mpd will most likely be disabled by default: Addon browser > My add-ons > All > Input Stream > Enable

You should then be able to play this DASH test stream - if not, enable kodi.inputstream (see #1):

Code:

texturecache.py playw "http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/dash/ondemand/testcard/1/client_manifest-events-multilang.mpd"

Edit: Also, starting with the next build, I'll be using the latest inputstream.mpd source code from the git repo, this should have improved seeking.
