Did you ever figure out how to fix this?

---

I believe this was already answered a while back... search the topic...

I have searched the topic and only found people posting that they have the problem also, and a possible solution was modifying advancedsettings.xml but that doesn't seem to have fixed (at least for me I still get the HD stuff in the folders).

I read through the whole thing as well.

No solution has been posted. The advancedsetting.xml trick is only for adding the seasons properly, but this script still names the top folder with the season and color stuff rather than the tv show's name. Without the tv show name, xbmc has no idea what show it is scraping. No fix for that has been proposed.

Thanks


EDIT:

I tested this further. The script works just fine with any non-HD Amazon source.

The final folder structure of the output strm files for non-HD is: dropbox\tvshowname\season.X\episodename.strm
But the structure for HD shows is as follows: dropbox\Season.X.[COLOR.FFE47911][HD][COLOR]\season.X\episodename.strm

So basically for HD episodes, the top folder becomes season.X.[Color, etc instead of the show name.

The only solution is a temporary workaround. I have to manually rename all top folders to the show name and it works. But the next time I run the script, they get deleted. So I have to move them to a different location. It works, but it is no longer automated.

EDIT 2:

On further testing, I noticed that on Amazon Prime, in xbmc, there is absolutely no difference between HD and non-HD streams. They are all 480p non-HD. This is the same on their website streaming as well. Even if you play an HD stream and your connection is excellent, the flash player still won't switch to a 720p stream. It is always at 480p 1350Mb/s. (I hear it is due to content providers not wanting Amazon to provide HD material on PCs to prevent piracy, pretty ridiculous if you ask me)

Therefore, in this script, I will select non-HD episodes and exclude the HD ones. That way it will work just fine and it will be automated.
